Slimmer Oura Ring 5 is a big upgrade for a small device

Slimmer Oura Ring 5 is a big upgrade for a small device

Wearing an Oura Ring is certainly a commitment to having a large ring on your finger, as well as to keeping it charged. In return, you get a wealth of health information, which, in the world of modern healthcare and exercise, is becoming more appealing each year.

The new Oura Ring 5 will make the statement a little less obvious than the previous model; it is now 40 per cent smaller, making it more attractive to those with smaller hands. 6.09mm wide and 2.28mm thick, it’s noticeably slimmer than the 7.9mm and 2.88mm measurements of Oura Ring 4. It also has improved sensors, better scratch resistance and a week-long battery life.

There’s also an optional charging case for the Oura Ring 5 to make it easier to keep the ring active on the go. Software improvements and new features also come to the Oura platform, like helping you locate a lost ring and live-tracking workouts directly from your phone.

New insights are also available for women with Oura Rings from gen 3 onwards, like data specific to menopause, as well as help women undergoing a hormonal birth control program. Oura says the menopause insights are designed in collaboration with its clinical and science teams. It asks structured questions across categories like sleep, mood, cognition, and daily functioning, helping wearers understand how strongly they feel that perimenopause is affecting their daily lives.

Oura’s new hormonal birth control feature, included with the brand’s $10 monthly subscription service, adapts cycle Insights for women using pills, patches, IUDs, implants, and other hormonal treatments, offering insight into how contraception may influence their unique baseline over time.

The Oura 5 will be available in Australia from 4 June, with preorders already open at $799 in a choice of six colours and sizes 6 to 13.
