Oura unveils a slimmer, lighter version of its flagship smart ring.
The Ring 5 measures 40% less than the previous model and drops a gram or two in weight. It retains the same sensor suite and launches at a starting price of $399. Oura markets it as the world’s smallest smart ring, but the dimensions remain comparable to a typical wedding band.
For users, the smaller profile means the device is less obtrusive on the finger and may improve comfort during sleep tracking. The unchanged price suggests Oura is betting on design over cost reduction to lure repeat buyers.
If the ring’s size is the only upgrade, buyers may still wonder whether the premium price is justified.
