💡About the Oura Ring
🎯 Who is this for?
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.
Key strengths
- 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.
Oura Ring 5 is the fifth generation of the leading smart ring, shipping from June 4, 2026. Oura calls it the world's smallest smart ring — 40% smaller than the Ring 4 at 6.09mm wide and as little as 2 grams — while extending battery to 6–9 days. It monitors heart rate, HRV, SpO2, skin temperature, and respiratory rate 24/7, and adds Health Radar with blood pressure signals and nighttime breathing insights. An optional Oura Membership ($5.99/month or $69.99/year) unlocks the full app experience. Available in six finishes from $399.
❓FAQs
Does the Oura Ring require a subscription?
The ring costs $399–$499 upfront. An Oura Membership ($5.99/month or $69.99/year) is technically optional — you can see basic step counts and sleep times without it — but most of the app's value (Readiness Score, detailed sleep stages, advanced HRV trends) requires a paid membership. Budget approximately $70/year on top of the hardware cost.
Oura Ring 5 vs Samsung Galaxy Ring: which should I buy?
Oura Ring 5 ($399+) offers iOS and Android support, respiratory rate and blood pressure signal tracking, and a more mature platform — but adds a $5.99/month subscription for full features. Samsung Galaxy Ring ($399.99) has no subscription but only works with Android. Choose Oura if you have an iPhone or want deeper health data; choose Samsung if you're Android-only and want no ongoing fees.
How long does the Oura Ring 5 battery last?
Between 6 and 9 days depending on ring size (smaller rings have smaller batteries) and usage — an improvement over the Ring 4's 5–8 days. An optional $99 charging case holds four full charges.
What is new in the Oura Ring 5 vs Ring 4?
The Ring 5 is 40% smaller and lighter (as little as 2g), extends battery to 6–9 days, and adds Health Radar with blood pressure signals and nighttime breathing insights, live activity tracking, and improved sensor accuracy. Pricing starts $50 higher at $399, with premium finishes at $499.
Does Oura Ring 5 work with iPhone?
Yes — the Oura app is available on both iOS and Android, and all features work equally on both platforms. The ring syncs to the app over Bluetooth.
What sizes does the Oura Ring 5 come in?
The Ring 5 is available in US sizes 6 to 13. Oura ships a free sizing kit before you commit — important because the smaller Ring 5 sizing differs from previous generations and traditional ring sizing.
