Oura has confirmed that new software features rolling out this month won't be gatekept to the Ring 5 — so buyers aren't stepping onto a dead-end hardware platform, at least for now. Battery life is also roughly comparable between the two generations. The catch: not every size and color is on sale, so check before you get your hopes up.\n\nAt $123 off, this is a reasonable entry point for anyone curious about smart rings without paying flagship prices — the Ring 4 at $226 undercuts the Ring 5 by a meaningful margin and still delivers the sleep, heart rate, and readiness tracking the brand is known for. That matters because Oura also charges a $6 monthly subscription on top of hardware, so lowering the upfront cost softens the long-term hit.\n\nSmart rings remain a niche category, but Oura has held the lead over Samsung's Galaxy Ring and a handful of smaller rivals by iterating steadily rather than pivoting hard — a previous-gen discount like this is a textbook move to widen the installed base before the subscription revenue compounds.","[\"deals\",\"wearables\",\"oura\",\"prime day\"]","2026-06-23T13:30:00.000Z","2026-06-23T15:41:50.396Z","2026-06-23T15:41:58.288Z","published",null,[24],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"The dek states '$123 off' but $349 minus $226 is $123 — that arithmetic is actually correct, however the dek claim that the Ring 4 'still gets every software feature the newer Ring 5 ships with' overstates the source, which says only that new software features rolling out this month aren't gatekept, not that the Ring 4 is fully feature-equivalent to the Ring 5; remove or tighten that equivalence claim to match what the source actually supports.","resolved","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.xyz.onl\u002Farticle-images\u002Foura-ring-4-drops-to-226-for-prime-day.webp","deals",[31,33,34,35],"wearables","oura","prime day",[37,40],{"name":38,"url":39},"The Verge","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theverge.com\u002Fgadgets\u002F953517\u002Foura-ring-4-prime-day-smart-ring-deal-sale",{"name":41,"url":42},"Wired","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.wired.com\u002Fstory\u002Foura-ring-prime-day-sale-2026\u002F",0,{"sections":45},[46,51,56,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100,105,110],{"name":47,"slug":48,"count":49,"latest_published_at":50},"AI","ai",503,"2026-06-23T17:36:12.000Z",{"name":52,"slug":53,"count":54,"latest_published_at":55},"Security","security",141,"2026-06-23T16:35:00.000Z",{"name":57,"slug":31,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"Deals",129,"2026-06-23T19:05:51.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Policy","policy",101,"2026-06-23T19:11:04.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":69},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",83,"2026-06-23T15:00:00.000Z",{"name":71,"slug":72,"count":73,"latest_published_at":74},"Hardware","hardware",71,"2026-06-23T16:50:03.000Z",{"name":76,"slug":77,"count":78,"latest_published_at":79},"Software","software",63,"2026-06-23T11:16:34.000Z",{"name":81,"slug":82,"count":83,"latest_published_at":84},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",53,"2026-06-23T18:13:40.000Z",{"name":86,"slug":87,"count":88,"latest_published_at":89},"Science","science",39,"2026-06-23T05:25:16.000Z",{"name":91,"slug":92,"count":93,"latest_published_at":94},"Gaming","gaming",32,"2026-06-22T17:00:00.000Z",{"name":96,"slug":97,"count":98,"latest_published_at":99},"General","general",26,"2026-06-13T18:35:15.000Z",{"name":101,"slug":102,"count":103,"latest_published_at":104},"Startups","startups",24,"2026-06-23T17:25:54.000Z",{"name":106,"slug":107,"count":108,"latest_published_at":109},"Reviews","reviews",19,"2026-06-14T08:00:00.000Z",{"name":111,"slug":112,"count":113,"latest_published_at":114},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
