Introducing… ŌURA Ring 5
The newest Oura Ring is 40 percent smaller, with next-generation sensing for best-in-class accuracy and a week-long battery life.
Oura Ring 5 is the world’s smallest smart ring. Built on more than 12 years of industry-leading innovation, Oura delivers its most advanced health sensing and insights in a more comfortable, compact form than ever before. Crafted from lightweight, non-allergenic titanium, the Oura Ring 5 goes beyond tracking, pairing its most innovative hardware yet with new software that offers deeper, more actionable insights, with notable new experiences in women’s health and activity.
“Oura Ring 5 is a big step toward our vision of giving everybody a voice,” said Tom Hale, chief executive officer at Oura. “By reimagining Oura Ring 5 to be smaller, easier to wear, and pairing it with our most advanced software yet, we’re making it possible for many more people to wear Oura every day – and to benefit from the personalised, predictive health insights that come with it.”
For more than a decade, Oura has helped define the smart ring category by demonstrating that the finger is the optimal place to measure health signals. Arteries in the finger give optical sensors, like the LED and PDs on Oura Ring, a cleaner pulse signal that is up to 100 times stronger than at the wrist, giving Oura a clearer, more reliable foundation for capturing biometric data and delivering more accurate readings than wrist-worn devices.
Refined Design. Re-engineered Sensing.
By redesigning the mechanical, electrical, optical, battery, and sensing architectures, Oura achieved the most refined silhouette yet: thinner and lighter, with a smoother curvature engineered to feel completely natural on the finger. That shift in size makes Oura Ring even more desirable to a broader audience, especially for those who have wanted a truly discreet form factor.
“Oura Ring 5 is the most significant leap in smart ring history. To make something 40 percent smaller without sacrificing an ounce of accuracy, we had to rethink every assumption — the sensors, the battery, the architecture, the geometry of the ring itself,” said Holly Shelton, chief product officer at Oura.
“The result is the most capable wearable we’ve ever made. Small enough to fit seamlessly into everyday life, and significant enough to set a new standard.”
The new signal architecture combines precision-engineered, low-profile sensor domes for better skin contact, more powerful LEDs for clearer, more consistent readings, and twelve stronger signal pathways that deliver greater accuracy across more finger types and skin tones.
Oura Ring 5 is available in sizes 6 to 13 in timeless finishes, including two new takes: a redesigned Gold in a lighter, modern shade more aligned to true gold and Deep Rose, a rich, copper-rose finish. Designed for customers who wear their rings through every part of daily life, Oura Ring 5 is Oura’s most scratch-resistant ring yet. The new, extra-strong physical vapour deposition coating enhances scratch resistance, and Oura Ring 5 is dust and waterproof to 100 metres (IP68), making it suitable for everything from workouts to travel to rest.
NEW Oura Ring 5 Charging Case
The Oura Ring 5 Charging Case is a portable charging solution for the ultra-wearable Oura Ring 5. Designed for travel and everyday use, the compact aluminium case stores one month of battery and supports wireless charging. A dedicated action button makes it easy to see the charging status and quickly pair the device, so members can see both the Charging Case and the Oura Ring in the app.
Oura is also introducing Locate, the next evolution of its device-tracking experience. Available on Oura Ring 4 and the next generation, Locate expands support to multiple devices and adds an in-app search mode, helping members find a misplaced Oura Ring or Charging Case and keeping their Oura devices in one place.
Live Activity Tracking
Oura introduces a new live activity-tracking experience that lets members start a workout and follow key metrics in real time on their phones. By starting a workout in the Oura App, Oura makes it easy for members to track their pace and distance during top activities like running, cycling, and strength training. Members can also connect third-party heart rate monitors and supported devices to see their heart rate in real time, with lock-screen widgets to track pace, distance, and connected heart rate.
Oura recently updated Automatic Activity Detection to be more accurate than ever for members — specifically for low-motion activities like pilates. With the new signal architecture of Oura Ring 5, members experience more accurate activity detection than any previous generation.
Live Activity Tracking, Locate, and Data Deletion are available now on Oura Ring Gen3 and all future generations.
Women’s Health Updates
Menopause Insights
Oura is leading the next chapter of menopause care with its new Menopause Insights experience. At its core is the Menopause Impact Scale, a proprietary, research-driven clinical questionnaire developed by Oura that establishes a new standard for measuring menopause’s impact on quality of life, replacing the decades-old legacy tool developed from a small, clinic-based sample. Designed in collaboration with Oura’s clinical and science teams, it asks structured questions across domains such as sleep, mood, cognition, and daily functioning, helping members understand how strongly perimenopause is affecting their daily lives.
After their symptom assessment, members receive a personalised dashboard that translates their symptoms into an overall impact level, outlining contributing domains and how each symptom does–or does not–impact daily life and routines. They can follow those patterns over time in a refreshed My Health view in the Oura app, seeing how lifestyle changes, stress, and interventions relate to shifts in both symptoms and objective data. Members can also save and share their results with clinicians to support more informed, efficient conversations about treatment options and next steps.
Hormonal Birth Control
For millions of women, hormonal birth control is part of everyday life — yet support has often been fragmented, generic, and disconnected from daily physiological data. Oura’s new Hormonal Birth Control feature adapts Cycle Insights for members using pills, patches, IUDs, implants, and other hormonal methods, offering insight into how contraception may influence their unique baseline over time. This update to Cycle Insights is a first-of-its-kind view into how biometrics shift across hormone and hormone-free days, so women can finally connect what they are feeling to what’s happening inside their bodies.
Lab Uploads
To help members connect the dots between clinical assessment and day-to-day biometrics, Oura is launching Lab Uploads. Members can now import their lab and blood work results directly into the Oura App, placing blood biomarkers alongside their Oura biometric data for a more complete view of their health.
Lab Uploads will be available globally in English starting on June 30 on Oura Ring Gen3 and all future generations.
Member-First Privacy and Data Control
Oura builds on its longstanding commitment to data protection with a new time-based Data Deletion capability, allowing members of all Oura Ring generations to erase data stored in the Oura App from a specific time window while preserving their account and the rest of their longitudinal history. This level of granular control lets members decide which data is stored over time without sacrificing the continuity and value of long-term trends.
Oura’s approach to data privacy is rooted in a simple principle: prioritising meaningful choices for members about managing their personal data and visibility into our data practices. Enabled by its membership-based model, Oura does not sell data and instead invests in robust, privacy-first security protections. Members have clear, configurable controls over how their data is shared with third parties, along with transparent explanations of what is collected and why, and safeguards aligned with leading global data protection standards.
With Oura Ring 5, Oura is setting a new bar for what a smart ring can be. The launch of this device, which sets a new standard for the category and enhances the software experience, builds on the company’s strong momentum globally. As Oura scales, it is uniquely positioned to deliver proactive, personalised health insights to millions more people worldwide—and to cement the smart ring as the most compelling form factor in wearable health.
