Oura Ring 5 announced with slim design, updated sensors and blood pressure monitoring

Oura Ring 5 is a titanium smart ring that is about 40% smaller than Ring 4, measuring just over 6mm wide and 2.3mm thick, with smoother curvature for comfort. It includes updated sensors with stronger LEDs to improve reading quality and consistency across skin tones and finger types. It provides heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, sleep, and stress monitoring, plus a new Health Radar system for continuous monitoring across key biometrics and detection of health changes and patterns. It adds blood pressure signal monitoring during sleep and nighttime breathing reports, available to app members in the United States, India, and the United Arab Emirates from June. It also offers GLP-1 insights for medication and weight tracking in those regions. Activity tracking supports 50+ health metrics, while workout tracking still starts from the app. Battery life is rated at 6 to 9 days, with charging up to 80 minutes, and a separate $99 charging case with wireless charging and up to one month of recharge.

"At just over 6mm in width and 2.3mm thick, Oura Ring 5 is 40% smaller than the outgoing Ring 4. The new model is still made from titanium and features a smoother curvature for added comfort. It comes in sizes 6-13 and features IP68 ingress protection."

"Oura is bringing updated sensors with stronger LEDs for improved readings and enhanced signal quality. More importantly, Oura claims improved consistency in the readings across skin tones and finger types. Alongside the usual health readings like heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, sleep and stress monitoring, Oura is also adding a new "Health Radar system" which offers continuous monitoring across key biometrics with the ability to detect health changes and patterns."

"The other new addition is blood pressure signal monitoring during sleep and nighttime breathing reports, which will be available to Oura app members across the United States, India, and the United Arab Emirates from June. Users in those regions will also get GLP-1 insights for medication and weight tracking."

"On the activity tracking front, Ring 5 now supports 50+ health metrics, including heart rate data, pace and distance for activities like running, cycling and strength training. Users will still need to start their workout tracking from the app. Like previous Oura Ring entries, you will need the Oura membership subscription ($5.99/month or $69.99/year) to get access to all features."
