Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this product bought it for my girlfriend so we can keep track of our sleep schedule and health. We both love it and have recently replaced it. But definitely going to try to get another one.

So much more esthetic with thinner bands, less bulky. Comfortable and light weight, motivates you to take care of your health as you see results in numbers. Very smart platform.

So happy with my Oura Ring 5! I knew some of the features before I purchased it, but had no idea of all the things that it tracks. I would highly recommend this to any and everyone, and have! Run, don’t walk, to your local Best Buy to grab yours!

If you actually like the Oura ring, you will like the 5. It feels so much better on my finger, and seems more accurate than the 4. I have no regrets.

I bought this ring to track my sleep and it does so much more than that. Heart rate, stress, activity and more. If your thinking about getting one, just do it.

It’s so slim and comfortable. The app is easy to use and has so much information and health insights. I’ve been an avid Apple Watch wearer and am loving the data Oura Ring has.

I love the NEW Oura ring highly recommended BUT I did go up a size, try before you buy

I love it. it tracks so many things from sleep to stress levels, your activity, etc. also love that it is thinner than previous aura rings

I went from a ringconn that stopped charging less than a year of use to this. It’s so small and light, I forget I’m wearing it sometimes. The data UI is nice to look at it and encourages me to “thrive”

The design is nice and comfy and also the app explains very well how some stuff work related with your body and health.

I love all the insights this gives me in my day to day life. At first I was hesitant but honestly I wish I’d gotten it sooner.

the slimness and the gold tone are soooo nice compared to the 4

Is amazing, it has so many features that helps a lot with your health.

I have been an oura ring customer since version 3 and I love the 5. I love all of the features, but best of all is the smaller size. Oura Ring for life!

This ring has been amazing with tracking my exercise and sleep!

Love this ring! Very accurate and definitely worth the money!

The Oura Ring 5 is one of those products I wasn't sure I needed until I started using it. I've followed the smart ring space for a while but had never taken the plunge until now. As someone who has worn fitness smartwatches for well over a decade, I was admittedly skeptical that a smart ring could offer much beyond what my watch already provides. After a few weeks, I've come to appreciate that it complements a smartwatch rather than replacing one. The first thing that stood out was the design. I went with the Stealth finish, and the matte black coating looks fantastic. It has an understated, modern appearance that doesn't immediately scream "tech gadget." It's also extremely comfortable. After the first day or two, I mostly forgot I was wearing it. I was initially concerned about scratching it during everyday use, but after several weeks of wearing it while working, exercising, and doing chores and yardwork around the house, it still looks nearly new. Sleep tracking has easily become my favorite feature. I've always hated the feeling of sleeping while wearing a smartwatch, so I usually ended up sacrificing sleep data for comfort. The Oura Ring solves that problem. It's comfortable enough that I don't notice it overnight, and waking up to detailed sleep metrics each morning has been genuinely useful. It also automatically detects many activities throughout the day. Since the Oura Ring uses your phone's GPS for route tracking, I still preferred using my smartwatch for runs and rides when I wasn't carrying my phone. Activity detection was generally very accurate, though I occasionally had to make small edits. For example, one of my runs was automatically detected, but the workout ended a little earlier than it should have, resulting in a slightly shorter recorded distance. Fortunately, making minor corrections in the app was quick and easy. For me, the Oura Ring fits naturally alongside a smartwatch. I still rely on my watch for GPS tracking during runs and rides when I leave my phone behind, but the ring is capable of tracking many of the same metrics, including sleep, activity, and heart rate. If you're already invested in a smartwatch ecosystem, the Oura Ring adds a level of comfort and insight that's hard to replicate with a watch alone. I normally dislike recurring subscription fees, but Oura's membership includes enough meaningful insights and historical trends that I quickly found it worthwhile, and I plan to keep the subscription for the long haul. The app is clean, easy to navigate, and does a great job presenting your health data in a way that's actually useful rather than overwhelming. Battery life has also been excellent. Unlike my smartwatch, which I charge every night, the Oura Ring lasts for several days before needing to be topped off. The app also provides helpful reminders when the battery starts getting low, so I never found myself unexpectedly running out of charge. The included wireless charger is compact, fast, and easy to leave on a nightstand or desk. I also appreciated never having to worry about water damage. I've worn it swimming multiple times without giving it a second thought, and it has performed flawlessly. Overall, the Oura Ring 5 is a comfortable, well-built health tracker that fits naturally into everyday life. The excellent sleep tracking, thoughtful app experience, long battery life, and premium design make it an outstanding companion for smartwatch users, while also serving as a capable standalone tracker for anyone who wants detailed health insights without wearing a watch around the clock.

I’ve been wearing a smart ring for the past few years and, in my opinion, have found that it’s one of the most convenient and comfortable ways to keep tabs on my health and fitness tracking versus other options such as a watch. Being that it has been several years since I invested in a smart ring, I decided it was time for an upgrade and replacement to catch up to the latest technology. I switched from a different brand to the newest edition of the Oura Ring, the Oura Ring 5, because it was recommended by others at our gym that have Oura Rings and they swear by it. After initially charging the ring, it was very easy to set up using the smart phone app, creating an account and entering my personal information so the ring and app companion could get a better understanding of my personal details such as my age, weight, height, activity level, etc. and use that information to make user specific recommendations throughout each day, week, month, etc. Upon setting up your account, it does give you a free trial of their upgraded tracking and AI features which I also strongly recommend after using it for a little over a week. The ring is so lightweight and comfortable that I forget I’m wearing it most of the time. Unlike a smartwatch, I never feel the need to take it off, especially at night, which means my data is much more consistent. The battery life is great, lasting about a full week on a single charge using the included charging dock, therefore I don’t find myself having to charge it nearly as often as my smart watch. The app is easy to understand and gives meaningful insights instead of overwhelming me with information. Everything feels personalized and genuinely useful. It even scored my heart age and tracks my cycle, all in one easy to use app. The sleep tracking is incredibly detailed and fascinating to wake up every morning and see exactly how well my body recovered overnight. I love that it doesn’t just give me numbers, the AI features help me understand how my sleep, stress, activity, and recovery all work together. One of my favorite features is the Readiness Score that helps me decide whether I should push myself in the gym or give my body a little extra recovery; I’ve found myself listening to my body much more because of it. As someone taking vitamins and medications, including GLP-1 medication, I appreciate how the software and AI in the app takes my personal information combining it with my sleep, activity, stress, etc. to provide me a better understanding of my overall wellness. Seeing those trends and numbers over the past week combined with the AI features has been eye opening and motivating. If you’re looking for a wearable that’s focused on improving your health rather than just counting steps or sending notifications, I highly recommend the Oura Ring 5 along with their subscription service for more inclined health and fitness tracking. For me, it’s become something I wear all day, every single day, and it’s completely changed the way I not only understand my health and body but use the recommendations the software gives me to make adjustments throughout my busy days.

This is my first Oura Ring but not my first smart ring. Before this Oura Ring, I used a ring from a close competitor. I decided to wear both for a week to compare the data. It felt strange wearing both, especially on fingers that are right by each other. Regardless, I found this to be the best way to obtain accurate data from both rings. While I will have some comparisons in this review, this will mostly be about the Oura Ring 5. *TLDR at the bottom ================= IN THE BOX/SET-UP: The Oura Ring 5 comes in a small white box. Nothing particular stands out from the unboxing experience. It was pretty simple, and there is nothing wrong with that. There is a charger and some documentation in the box. But you need to provide your own charging cable, as there is no USB-C cable included. Set up is quick. Download the Oura app, and the app will walk you through the setup. This took about 5-10 minutes. ================= RING FIT, DESIGN, DURABILITY: In terms of fit, I chose a size that was snug but not tight. Ideally, you want a size where the ring doesn’t move around on your finger. While the ring fits great, I did find that with sweaty hands, the ring tends to spin on my finger. It's worse when you wear gloves. This does create inaccurate data, but it's not a dealbreaker as my hands aren’t sweaty all the time. But overall, the fit is comfortable. It almost feels like I’m not wearing anything. This is the smallest smart ring yet. As I was unboxing the ring, I was amazed by how tiny the ring was. Compared to my previous smart ring (see pictures), it is significantly smaller. Holding things feel much more natural compared to my previous ring. Along with the tiny size, the ring feels like you’re holding air. It really is that light. If the ring was the same color as my skin, I think it would certainly blend in. On the inside of the ring, there are several sensors, with the bulk of them on one side. There are 2 photodetectors, 2 triple LEDs(red, green, IR), a temperature sensor, and an accelerometer. There is also a tiny mark on the outside that indicates the direction the ring should be worn (palm side of the hand). I have worn this ring for about two weeks now. I’ve gone on runs, strength trained, worked and washed my car, helped someone move, and much more. After doing all of this, there isn’t a single scratch on it. This ring is extremely durable. The ring is made with a fully titanium design with a superhard PVD(physical vapor deposition) coating. While it was able to withstand everything I did these past two weeks, I am curious how durable the ring is over time. My old smart ring was also fully titanium but with a tungsten carbide carbon coating. About a year and a half later, the ring has held up, but the coating on the outer edges is starting to rub off (palm side). This Oura ring won’t last forever, but I am curious if this Oura ring will experience the same fate about a year from now. ================= OURA APP: As someone who’s never used the Oura app, I can confidently say it has a great UI. The app is easy to navigate, and the information you need is available as soon as you open the app. Do note that early on data will be limited. Some data will be available the next day. But there is data such as your Body Clock data that won’t be ready until day 90. There is a lot of information, but I will cover the main stuff. Readiness Score: The readiness score is a score that shows how ready you are for the day. There is a lot of stuff that contributes to this score, like your resting heart rate, HRV balance, sleep, and activity balance. Activity Score: This score measures your activity levels. It tells you if you are training frequently, your recovery time, how many alerts you received for inactivity, and even your total calorie burn. Sleep Score: This is one of the main reasons I started using a smart ring. To improve my terrible sleep schedule! What I find seriously impressive is how accurate the sleep/wake up times are. Some other information you get is total sleep(for the night), deep sleep, and timing. Heart Rate: The heart rate tab is useful. It tells your heart rate when you're sleeping, when doing activities, and even when you’re stressed. It lays out the data in a nice line graph so you can see your heart rate throughout the day. Vitals: The Vitals tab is filled with quick snippets of your health, recommendations, and alerts. For example, under the sleep tab, there is a sleep debt that lets you know how much sleep you need. Under the readiness tab, there is the Symptom Radar. Although nothing in particular has come up for me, this tells you if your body needs extra care. This can be due to lack of rest, the cold, or severe stress. There is so much more to the app that I couldn’t cover. There is stuff about measuring blood oxygen levels, enabling rest mode (for those all-day rest days), meal tracking, and much more. The app also informs you when there are new software updates. But if you are serious about your physical health, the Oura app will give you plenty of information to improve and maintain your health. ================= MY 1 WEEK OF USE: As I said in the beginning, I wore my old smart ring with this Oura Ring for the week. My old ring provides about the same information as my Oura one. The question is, which one is more accurate? This question is tougher to answer without something else tracking these health metrics, like a smart watch, which I don’t own. But I did my best to wear the rings consistently and on the same fingers (one on index, the other on middle). I strength trained a lot with this ring. Some exercises were harder to perform than others, but overall, you can work out with the ring on. Anytime I worked out, I turned on the live activity feature, which is a nifty feature that tracks your heart rate, active calorie burn, and the zones (1-5 zones) your heart rate was in. My older ring is significantly thicker, so gripping dumbbells and barbells felt much more uncomfortable. On the other end, I was able to comfortably deadlift with the Oura ring. But with barbells that have more aggressive khurling or heavy dumbbells, you start to feel more discomfort. Especially with row movements that require significant grip strength. I do recommend a protective cover if you plan to work out with the ring, as over time the khurling can start to wear on the coating. The ring is water resistant, so there is no need to take it off when doing anything with water. When it comes to sleep, it does have accurate/sleep wake times that align with my sleep time and alarm. It is significantly more accurate compared to my previous ring. There was about a 30-minute average difference between my old ring and Oura ring. This Oura also does a better job of tracking your time in bed, which can probably be due to either the accelerometer or the temperature sensor. I love how the ring syncs with the app throughout the day. But this only works if your Bluetooth is on. My older ring required that the app be open for the data to sync. But you don’t need your phone with you the entire time for the data to sync. The ring has a memory capacity of 3 days of data storage. Which is on the shorter side and much less compared to the previous gen, which stored data for up to one week. My older ring also was able to store data for about 6-8 days. In terms of battery life, it’s honestly great. On a full charge, it lasted about 8 days. Of course, over time, this battery life will diminish. But if I can get about a week of battery towards the end of this ring’s life cycle, that’d be awesome. Now I will cover items that my older ring does better than the Oura Ring 5. One thing that my older ring does better than this one is location reporting. I hope I don’t lose the Oura Ring, as the location is more inaccurate than accurate. It's worse when you’re in an urban area. The app has a difficult time pinpointing the exact address that the ring is located at, which my older ring did do a better job at. Another feature that my older ring performed better in is reporting when you should move because of the lack of activity. I WFH a couple of times per week, and when there was a long time of inactivity, my older ring would consistently let me know to move. While the Oura ring does send push notifications of inactivity, these are less consistent. ================= CONCLUSION/TLDR: Overall, this is an excellent upgrade from my previous ring. Location accuracy and lack of push notifications aside, this ring excels in reporting more accurate health metrics compared to my previous ring. If you are someone who is looking to take control of their fitness, sleep, and overall health, the Oura Ring is an excellent piece of wearable tech. You will get useful information like a sleep, activity, and readiness score, which tells you how ready you are for the day. This ring does require a subscription, compared to my previous ring that was a one-time upfront cost. But if you value data accuracy and constant innovation, Oura does an excellent job with that. I wholeheartedly recommend this smart ring!

I have had a previous generation of the Oura ring, but I never was able to get too excited about the product until this version. This review is based on 3 weeks of use, to include the fitting process and subscription level insights.  TL;DR - If you've tried Oura in the past, the Oura 5 Smart Ring is the culmination of listening to the customers, improving on the pain points, and making a lightweight versatile ring that works, provides a significant array of health focused data points, and is durable. The data tracks with my wrist fitness tracker, with what I think is improved accuracy over prior generations. Pros: The Oura 5 fixes all the issues I had with the 3rd generation - weight, durability, and metric accuracy are all improved. App gives you more metrics and tracking than you'll probably ever need, for this reason it will work for a large range of user needs While I haven't experienced it with this version, one thing that stands apart for Oura versus traditional watch fitness trackers is that it will predict onset of illness prior to any other fitness trackers I've used. This is one of the standout features that differentiates Oura from the rest. I can wear it all the time, in the shower, doing chores, workouts, etc and take it off about once a week to charge for ~3 hours. For this reason it has the best health tracking coverage of any device I've tried. Cons: Same issues I've had with prior generations of the Oura ring. I'm still not a fan of not having half sizes. I feel that the ring is slightly too large and rotates and puts the sensor away from the palm of my hand, but I can't go down a size and still fit over my knuckle.  Have to pay for the subscription to get insights into your stats In the final box is the ring, charger, USB-C charging cable, and paperwork, however prior to this you will receive a ring sizing kit. The ring sizing kit contains 8 rings, whole sizes from 6 - 13, with the intent being that you wear it for a few days to ensure fit and then scan the QR code which will take you to the portal to order your size / color. Once that is completed your ring will ship, mine arrived within a week of submitting my sizing.  After unboxing, the first thing I noticed was that the Oura 5 was vastly different from the 3 that I had previously. Gone is the huge bulky band, the heavy metal, and the large sensors on the inside of the ring. This new ring is sleek and I love the color options. It has a small visual indicator of where the sensors are so you can quickly see if the sensors are in the correct position against your palm. The ring is now made of titanium, and is significantly less prone to marring than the previous version was. I am very active with my hands, doing farm chores, participating in shooting sports, lifting, and other high friction activities that scratched my Oura 3 ring significantly within the first month. So far on this one, I have had no marring and the color shows no signs of chipping or defects. 5 stars all day long for the build, design, and durability.  As for performance, I wear the Oura 5 on my ring finger on my right hand, and a popular mainstream, well calibrated, fitness tracker on my right wrist.  The metrics match very closely, for example sleep on Oura is 78 "good" and on the wrist tracker it was 82, and the step count typically stays about 30 steps less than my wrist tracker. Oura readiness for the same day was 79 "good" and the equivalent measurement of body battery on the wrist tracker was 67. Providing these as examples, but overall the trackers metrics align in parallel, albeit slightly different offsets. This gives me confidence that the trackers are accurate, and relatively precise against all other wearable monitoring devices. 5 stars for accuracy and repeatability against what I consider a highly reliable tracker.  As far as the features go, yes, it does require a subscription after your initial trial runs out. I do have the full subscription, and the features discussed are all part of the subscription offering. First you can see the following metrics at a glance - readiness, sleep, activity, cycle day for women to elect to track this, heart rate, stress, and resilience. These are all customizable options that can be removed from your quick glance dashboard. When you click into one of these metrics you'll see your history, things that contribute to the metric (see screenshot) and guidance on how to potentially improve your health in this area. Sleep quality is important to me, so I appreciate that it breaks down sleep efficiency, rem, light sleep, deep sleep, and how long it took to fall asleep, in addition to your sleep debt over the trailing 14 days. It does give O2 saturation, which I think is a good directional indicator, but not a precision measurement. The activity tracking is unique in that it measures training frequency, training volume, recovery time, and daily goals. The app does try to bucket activity, so it will ask you to confirm if you had a walk / run and I find that most everything else it classifies as housework, to include farm chores, light workouts (under ~120 bpm heart rate) and anything else that isn't obviously walking while still being a lower heart rate.  Bottom line, I know this is a long review, trying to help someone reading this determine if the ring is a good value. For me, as an active, mid-40s female, I find the insights, tracking, and data history to be invaluable for making behavior changes to help keep my health, fitness, and training on point. The ring offers numerous features that I likely will never use fully, but for this reason, I think it will fit the need for most of the users on the market today - health baselines and trends, fitness tracking, weight improvement, cardiovascular health, all things sleep related, and overall lifestyle choices that impact your health.  You can wear this anywhere, swimming, showering, working out, chores, etc. All the events where you want to see how your body performs under pressure. So far I have had no scratches even when shooting pistols and doing farm chores such as hauling water buckets, these are all activities that left deep scratches in my Oura 3 rnig. My only complaint is the sizing aspect, if you have large knuckles the ring may rotate. I wear a 7.5, couldn't comfortably get the 7 over my knuckle, so went with an 8. Mine does rotate quite a bit, but does not seem to impact the metric tracking or accuracy. If you want to improve your overall health, aren't getting what you need out of your current fitness tracker, or simply like data, this is definitely the fitness tracker I'd recommend.
