Why buy each?

Oura Ring

The world's smallest smart ring

The Ring 5 is 40% smaller than the Ring 4 — 6.09mm wide and 2.28mm thick, weighing as little as 2 grams — while improving sensor accuracy across finger sizes and skin tones.

6–9 day battery and Health Radar

Up to 9 days of continuous 24/7 tracking between charges, plus new Health Radar monitoring with blood pressure signals and nighttime breathing insights.

Works with both iOS and Android

The Oura app supports iPhone and Android equally. Core health data syncs to Apple Health, Google Health Connect, and 40+ third-party fitness apps.

RingConn Gen 3

$349 with no subscription, ever

All health tracking features are included at no extra cost. No monthly membership required — sleep staging, HRV trends, vascular insights, and health reports are all free in the app.

Vascular health trends and haptic alerts

AI-supported blood pressure trend insights built from heart rate, SpO2, skin temperature, and movement data — with a built-in vibration motor that delivers silent alerts for health changes and sedentary reminders.

14-day battery with charging case

Up to 14 days on a single charge — roughly double Oura Ring 5 — plus a universal charging case that extends total battery life for weeks of travel.

Pick the Oura Ring if…

Health-focused wearers who want continuous biometric tracking without a watch on their wrist. Ideal for sleep researchers, recovery-focused athletes, and anyone who finds watches uncomfortable at night. Works with both iPhone and Android. The subscription is optional but unlocks most of the app's value.
