    I have been using the Oura Ring for the past four years, starting with Gen 3, then Gen 4, and now Gen 5. I have also tested several other health and activity rings, and Oura is still the best one by far when it comes to how the data is presented and the insights it gives based on the data it collects. The biggest difference for me is not the number of sensors or health metrics, but how Oura connects the data and explains what it means. Several rings I tested showed heart rate, sleep duration, activity, and temperature trends, but the data often felt like separate measurements. Oura does a much better job correlating sleep, recovery, stress, activity, and body signals into one clear picture. The biggest improvement with Gen 5 is the smaller footprint (40% smaller) compared to Gen 3 and Gen 4. It feels lighter, less bulky, and much more comfortable to wear throughout the day and while sleeping. Battery life has also improved, and Oura continues to introduce useful new features every year. The improved battery life also makes it easier to wear consistently without worrying about frequent charging. So far it lasted between 6-9 days based on the daily activity. The best feature is still the sleep analysis. I travel frequently for work, and my short or irregular sleep cycles are clearly reflected in the Sleep Score, sleep debt, and Readiness Score. The reminders to make up for lost sleep have actually encouraged me to take short power naps during the week and focus more on recovery. I usually review the sleep insights at the end of the day and compare Oura’s prediction with how active and energetic I actually felt. Most of the time, the correlation is surprisingly accurate. The Readiness Score is one feature I find more useful than the basic wellness scores on other rings. It gives me a simple indication of whether I should push harder, maintain my normal routine, or focus on recovery. More importantly, it explains the factors contributing to the score, so I can understand whether the change came from sleep debt, heart-rate trends, body temperature, stress, or recent activity. I also have Oura connected to other health apps, and it automatically records activities such as running and biking. The activity detection is good and has improved over time, but dedicated fitness apps are still better for detailed workout tracking. The ability to select a personal focus area is another feature I like. Whether the goal is better sleep, improved recovery, stress management, or increased activity, the app highlights the most relevant metrics and recommendations. Oura’s long-term insights also make the ring more valuable over time. I especially like the yearly reports, long-term trend maps, resilience tracking, and personal baselines help identify patterns that are difficult to notice from daily numbers alone. This is where Oura gets better the longer you use it, as the recommendations become more relevant to your own habits instead of relying only on generic health targets.. I have also started exploring Oura Labs, which connects health records and laboratory data with the long-term information collected by the ring. It is still too early for me to judge the accuracy, but it could become one of the most valuable Oura features. For Gen 3 users, Gen 5 is a meaningful upgrade because of the smaller size, improved comfort, battery life, and newer insights. For Gen 4 users, the upgrade may depend more on how much you value the smaller design, more accurate sensors, and the latest features. I have been a paid member for more than three years and feel the subscription is worth it. Oura is less of a fitness tracker and more of a complete sleep, recovery, stress, and wellness device. After using Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5, I still feel Oura offers the best overall smart-ring experience.

    Aesthetic w/ Useful Data; High Cost of Ownership

    📦 UNBOXING: Inside the box, you’ll find the Oura Ring 5, a USB Type C to C cable, and the charger. It includes a basic guide for getting connected, but the app will be your primary way of getting started. 💪 BUILD: The black Oura Ring 5 looks sleek with a nice luster to it. The physical design of the ring is aesthetically comparable to most conventional jewelry rings, whereas other smart rings on the market tend to be a bit larger and look bulky. On the inside of the ring, there are two pairs of LED arrays with adjacent photodetectors (light receivers). Each array has a green, red and infrared LED. The green + infrared is used for measuring heart rate and heart rate variability, while the red + infrared is used for monitoring blood oxygen saturation. There is also a digital temperature sensor to measure average body temperature variations and an accelerometer tracks movement and activity. ☁️ COMFORT: The Oura Ring 5 feels comfortable to wear, and the size 10 that I got feels accurate to the size 10 in the ring sizing kit. I’ve been wearing a competitor’s smart ring for a couple years now, and feel like Oura’s sizing kit much more closely matches the actual ring. Hands tend to swell throughout the day, and I feel that my Oura Ring 5 has not been an issue for me. I am able to sleep through the night without losing circulation in my hand; it fits snugly without worry of it falling off, but not too snug where it brings discomfort. While your mileage may vary, I’m able to wear it on both my middle finger and my index finger comfortably. 🛠️ SETUP: The setup process was simple, and the app will guide you through it Plug the included USB-C cable into the charger and into a USB-C wall adapter (not included). Then put your ring on the charger, and the LED on the charger should start blinking. At this point, you can start the pairing process from within the Oura app. Preferably, you will want to wait until your Oura Ring 5 fully charges before using it. 📱 APP: The Oura app is the most important part of using the Oura Ring 5. To get useful information, you will need to pay for Oura’s subscription of $5.99/month on top of the expensive price you will also have to pay for just the ring. New Oura members get 1 month for free, but I think more time ought to be included with the purchase of the ring. The app provides a ton of metrics and information based on what it collects from your Ring 5 and tries to organize the data to make it easy to discover. Under the “Today” tab, you can immediately find scores for Readiness, Sleep and Activity, as well as Heart rate and Stress. If you select any one of these categories, you’ll find a summary about the data in addition to all the unique metrics that contribute to the overall aggregate score, with explanations about each contributing metric. The “Vitals” tab gives you quick summaries for the aforementioned categories, but also adds Heart health, Metabolic health and Core metrics. Then there’s a “My Health” tab which gives you a more long-term evaluation of your health. The scores here like Sleep Health, Stress Management and Heart Health all need 2-4 weeks on average to calibrate a baseline. Which means you may only obtain these metrics near a full month of use. Which conveniently, is close to the end of your free first month of the Oura subscription. Similarly, there are also scores for Activity Burn, Step Average and Sleep Regularity. The first two require 30 days of data, while sleep regularity requires 2 weeks of data to develop a baseline score. The app lets you track workouts, take pictures of meals, or even integrate with a Dexcom Stelo sensor (for non diabetics) to correlate your meals to impacts on vitals and other health markers. You can also schedule a $99 blood test to evaluate other elements of your health. Additionally, you can connect with family and friends using Oura Circles. This allows you to celebrate each others’ health achievements and show support during the harder times, as well. There are also meditations, breathing exercises, sleep meditations and stories, and even lessons about how certain elements of everyday life can impact your health—including some things like pregnancy and cycles, postpartum, bedtime tips, GLP-1, and more. There’s a lot of useful information in the Oura app. There’s also a Symptom Radar that uses 7 days of sleep data over a period of 2 weeks to indicate potential signs of sickness or stress. These insights can be useful for helping you be proactive towards the path of recovery and self-care. While I most notably care about stress, heart health, and sleep tracking, I found that logging my meals in the Oura app either by picture or simple description was helpful since Oura’s AI advisor could quickly understand what I was eating, understand its general nutritional profile, and give suggestions for ways to improve the nutritional value of my meal or ways to exercise to improve my overall wellness. It won’t track calories, carbs, or any of that, but the AI advisor provides an opportunity to reflect on how your meal impacts your sleep and energy. Sleep tracking I do find has been insightful. I’ve been able to see how my sleep has been impacted by higher heart rate due to alcohol, and how I’ve obtained significantly less REM sleep despite my latency measure showing that I fell asleep much faster than usual. 🔋 BATTERY: Oura claims that the battery life will range between 6-9 days depending on the size of the ring, as larger rings can accommodate larger batteries. For a size 10 that was charged to 100% and not charged again, I was at about 35% after 5 full days, so a full week could certainly be obtainable. However, this is during the very initial period with the ring, and the battery performance can change over time due to natural wear with each recharge, as well as impacts from firmware updates. So I would not expect day one battery performance to be representative of long-term endurance. Oura also recommends charging the ring in short quick bursts like during a shower, and keeping it between 25%-80% for best long-term health of the battery. It puts a lot of stress on the battery to deplete it completely, and it’s not recommended to sleep with your ring on if it’s below 30% battery. 🧐 CONCLUSION: If you don’t wear a smart watch or smart band, then a smart ring could certainly be appealing for cycle tracking sleep, stress, and a lot of other health indicators to guide you towards better habits. But it really requires you to use that information to make meaningful changes towards your health goals, and Oura does provide suggestions in its app to guide you towards those goals. Their app is fairly polished albeit dense with data, and there are a lot of explanations of the data so you understand what it’s tracking. However, with how small the batteries tend to be and the limited number of charge cycles they support, I think it’s worth weighing the lifespan of a smart ring against the large upfront cost you pay in addition to the required monthly subscription to get meaningful data from Oura’s app. In my experience with another popular smart ring, one year of use could nearly halve the battery life, and that could be a dealbreaker for some folks. In my opinion, I think the fact that these ring batteries cannot be replaced really makes this product a technical case of “planned obsolescence” since the battery tech has a limited lifespan. When comparing smart rings, Oura’s sleek aesthetic is certainly appealing, but the additional $5.99/mo required subscription service means that total cost of ownership is also quite high when compared to some alternative options.

    Small, Beautiful and Full of Insights

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Summary ------------------ Beautiful and comfortable design. Probably the biggest advantage is a combination of: - More accurate measurements than smart watches due to being taken from the fingers which are less noisy than wrists (from my research), and - The app is very insightful with a very helpful Oura Advisor that can analyze all the measurements, and provide clear explanations and recommendations specifically tailored to you based on your own data! Another advantage or drawback depending on your expectation: The battery has lasted me about 7 to 8 days (specs say up to 9 days). The main drawback is that the app is not free. While it can show you some data for free, you need a subscription to get all the worth-while insights. This is my main reason for giving it a 4 star instead of 5 (and the other reason is I wish the battery lasted at least 2 weeks to not worry about taking the charger to longer trips). DETAILS ------------------ - Accuracy: From my research, optical measurements on fingers are cleaner/less noisy than on wrists. Therefore, Oura ring measurements should be more accurate than smart watches. Oura ring measurements have been touted as very close to lab-grade. The only way to know for sure is to have a sleep study in a lab and compare measurements, which I didn’t do. However, the app does show clearly how long you spend on each sleep state: REM, deep sleep, light sleep and awake. It also tells you your total sleep, efficiency, restfulness, lowest heart rate, oxygen saturation, average HRV (heart rate variability), and nighttime breathing! - Insightful app and super useful Oura advisor: If you’re wondering whether it’s worth getting the Oura ring vs a smart watch or because you already have a smart watch, in my opinion it all depends on whether you’ll look at your measurement data and would be willing to spend some time analyzing it. What I can tell you is that while the Oura app gives you a lot of information and explanations, where it truly shines is with its “Oura advisor”. It is similar to any AI chatbot you might have tried (ex: Chat GPT), but with the huge difference that it has access to all your historical measurement data! This is huge because it makes it so much easier and faster to make sense of all the collected data. No need to wonder if you’re interpreting it right. It can show you graphs, answer questions with easy-to-understand language, and it can help find patterns. For example, if you start consistently tagging every day whether you consumed alcohol, you had a late meal or it was a stressful day, the Oura advisor can find patterns on how your sleep get consistently affected in correlation to those tags. Even if you don’t tag, it can already find some patterns such as your whether your sleep has got affected due to inconsistent bedtime for example. - Look and feel: I’ve never worn any rings, but I’m enjoying the Oura ring. It looks great, it's thin and comfortable. After much consideration, I chose the brushed silver which I am so glad I did. Some research indicated this color is the one that hides the most scratches. Indeed, I went swimming and I felt I scratched my Oura ring a bit a couple of times when reaching and grabbing the edge of the pool. While I can feel a tiny scratch when touching the ring with my other fingers, I cannot see it. While this color was one of the least appealing to me in the pictures, the pictures don’t make it justice. I actually really like it and highly recommend it! - Battery: I really like the fact that I do not have to charge the Oure ring on a daily basis. It has lasted me about 7 to 8 days. The app does a great job notifying me when the battery will drain in 15 or 16 hrs. This gives me time to charge it before I go to bed or on a weekend trip or vacation. And I appreciate also getting notified when it’s fully charged. Having said that, I really wish it could last ideally 30 days but at the very least 2 weeks. That would allow me not to have to worry about carrying the charger (and potentially losing it) during long trips. - Sizing: The sizing kit was very useful. I recommend following the instructions. In particular: 1. If you are in between sizes, picking the smaller size -> I’m so glad I picked the smaller size 2. Making a fist and making sure there’s no gap -> Even picking the smaller size, I still see a small gap, but certainly less than the bigger size. The measurements seem pretty accurate. 3. Wearing the temporary rings in the sizing kit for a few days -> This was key. I originally did not think this was necessary, but it is! I actually was undecided about which finger to wear the ring on, and therefore I had 3 potential sizes. At first, I thought to pick the largest of the 3 so I can wear it on multiple fingers as needed. However, the largest fell off my finger while putting the clothes in the washing machine! I then went on a hike and took the other 2 sizes. Fingers tend to swell at different times of the day, and I could feel that especially when hiking. I thought this meant I would most likely pick the larger size for comfort. In the end, this ended up not being the case. While the larger size could be a tad more comfortable sometimes, the majority of time, the small one feels fine and hugs my finger better, not falling easily when taking a shower, swimming, or washing my hands for example. But most importantly, the Ring website mentions the measurements are more accurate when the ring touches all the surface of your finger even when making a fist. I am happy I chose the smaller one. Having said that, make sure to choose something that is comfortable to you, because if you do choose something too small that ends up hurting your finger, you will end up not using it.

    I recently bought the Oura Ring 5 for my wife, and it has been a great choice. The ring is elegant, lightweight, and very comfortable to wear, especially compared with a traditional smartwatch. She really likes how discreet it is, while still providing useful insights about sleep, recovery, heart rate, and overall wellness. The app is easy to use and presents the information clearly, without making things feel too technical or complicated. The design also feels premium, which makes it something she can wear every day without compromising her style. Battery life has been good, and the experience so far has been very positive. It is definitely a premium product, but for someone who wants a stylish and practical way to track health and wellness, the Oura Ring 5 is an excellent option. Overall, we are very happy with it and would definitely recommend it.

    Great wearable to track your vitals

    I have a few wearables like a FitBit and Apple Watch, but none of them are as comfortable as the Oura ring. ON top of being comfortable, it's quite nondescript in appearance making it a little more out of the way.  I have the gen 4 Oura ring and this gen 5 version has some nice enhancements. Firstly, the size. Being a ring, there's only so much you can have size wise with one but the gen 5 version does manage to shave off a couple millimeters compared to the previous gen. Now it might not be much but appearance wise, it does look a bit nicer and feels a smidge more comfortable as well.  Next, the battery life seems quite improved with this gen 5 version. The older version lasted quite a bit easily but this Oura 5 can go several days without needing a charge, Nice in that it's one less thing I need to constantly charge. FYI, the charger for the gen 4 is different for gen 5 ring.  Biggest pro for this ring is obviously the data it tracks. From your typical heart rate, sleep, steps, etc., you have a plethora of data to review AND receive metrics back on through the Oura app,. The stress and overall health cards I find the most resourceful to me.  On top of being so small and discreet, this wearable provides a lot of data aimed at getting you better health and better insight into your activities.

    Incredibly Sleek Upgrade-Unmatched Accuracy-Gold

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) Review Title: Incredibly Sleek Upgrade with Unmatched Accuracy (Gold Edition) Review: I’ve been tracking my metrics for a while now, and the Oura Ring 5 is an absolute engineering marvel. If you were on the fence about smart rings because they felt too bulky or obvious, this is the generation that finally makes the technology feel entirely invisible. Design & Comfort: The biggest win here is the massive size reduction. Oura managed to shrink this down by about 40% compared to previous generations, bringing the width down to a super slim ~6mm. It fits and feels exactly like a classic, premium wedding band. The redesigned Gold finish looks stunning—it’s a lighter, more modern, and sophisticated shade of gold that doesn’t look gaudy. The interior sensors are incredibly low-profile, meaning no uncomfortable friction when lifting weights or going about your day. Accuracy & Sizing: Crucial tip: Do not skip the sizing kit! Because the Ring 5 has a completely re-engineered, ultra-thin profile with optimized sensor placement, the sizing feels a bit different than standard jewelry or even older smart rings. Wearing the plastic sizing ring for 24 hours ensures you get a snug fit for accurate data. Once you find your size, the tracking is phenomenal. With 12 signal pathways, the heart rate tracking during workouts (especially running and cycling) and overnight HRV data are incredibly precise. App Experience & Health Insights: The data integration is seamless. The Oura app does a beautiful job of translating complex biometrics into daily Readiness, Sleep, and Activity scores without making you feel overwhelmed by numbers. The new predictive health insights and stress tracking features give you a genuine look at how your daily habits affect your recovery and long-term cardiovascular health. Battery Life: You would think shrinking a device by 40% would kill the battery life, but the mechanical redesign actually keeps it running for a solid 6 to 9 days on a single charge. It charges incredibly fast, too—I just pop it on the charger while taking a shower, and it rarely ever dips into the red. Pros: • Ultra-thin, 6mm lightweight titanium design looks like high-end jewelry. • Reimagined Gold finish is elegant and highly scratch-resistant. • Noticeably improved tracking accuracy for workouts and sleep metrics. • Phenomenal 6–9 day battery life despite the miniaturized size. • Waterproof up to 100 meters. Cons: • Requires a monthly subscription ($5.99/mo) to unlock the full breakdown of your health data. • Like all ultra-compact, epoxy-sealed wearables, the battery is non-replaceable, meaning the ring has a finite lifespan of a few years. Final Verdict: The Oura Ring 5 sets the gold standard for discreet health tracking. It completely eliminates the form-factor compromise of older smart rings. If you want top-tier sleep, stress, and recovery insights packaged in a gorgeous, lightweight ring, this is worth every penny.

    I come from the Ring4, which worked perfectly until the battery died. This one comes lighter with an improved shape and a premium feel. Battery last longer, and the Oura app can not be beat. It's also more comfortable to wear, as the previous version caused marks Super precise for sleep management, which is my main focus. Although it also competes with premium smartwatches for sports management. Overall, super happy with the improvements

    The Smart Ring, Perfected.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have been a big fan of wrist based fitness trackers for a long time, and when smart rings came onto the scene I thought they were a great idea but were a bit clunky. The Oura Ring 5 has completely changed my view of this, as it has been an exceptional smart ring and to me exactly what new tech should be like: seamlessly blending in with your day to day life. PROS: - The top thought everyone is going to think when they unbox this ring is how thin and light this is. This is why (among reasons listed below) this ring is a game changer. It is so incredibly thin and light, it looks and feels like a normal ring. It’s not obvious you are wearing a smart ring, it’s thin, it’s sleek, and it looks amazing. - The Deep Rose color looks fantastic as well. I have been wearing this ring 24/7 for over a month now, and I can firmly say the ring color still looks amazing. I can’t notice any micro scratches, the color still pops really well, and I think the color is a great mix of gold & brass to give it a unique look that does not look over the top and loud. - Speaking of durability let me say again, I wear this for everything. Day to day life, sleeping, swimming, yard work, home projects, working out, cardio, etc. And this ring really is durable! Although it’s comfortable, it took me a few days to get used to it but now I forget I have it on most of the time which is exactly what I want. - With a smart ring, you need an app to use this. And the Oura Ring app really is a fantastic app. It takes a really cool approach in talking to you and showing you your data in a way that feels digestible and not overwhelming. If you want to dig into things you can! It tracks so much with activity, sleep, heart rate, cardio age, heart health, stress, HRV, body temp, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and more. - The Activity Tracking is really cool. Essentially you can go about your whole day - and let’s say you swim, go on a run, and do some yard work. You then go on the app whenever you want and it will say “hey you did 3 workouts, can you confirm them?” And you select what workout it was (overtime it gets smart and identifies them based on your trend) and hit accept! - For a bit I wore the ring and a wrist activity tracker at the same time to compare them. I found the Oura ring to be more accurate since it has a more reliable heart sensor (can tell when you are working out or not), measures calories burned well, and tracks steps really well on that too. - Sleeping is one of the best places this ring shines. I used to wear a wrist tracker for sleep, but once I stopped wearing that and only did the ring I had no idea how much more comfortable that is! On top of that, comparing the two sources showed the Oura Ring provided greater detail and did a much better job understanding that your sleep schedule might not be perfect every night but how does it fit into your overall activity and overall stress. And that really was a cool way of seeing results! - Lastly, the Oura Ring lasts me about 1 week until I have to charge it which is amazing! The app notifies your phone when the battery is low and will tell you how many hours you have left until it dies. But the ring charges pretty quickly and then you are ready to go another week. CONS: - This ring has to be used with a subscription. Without the subscription you get 1% of its functionality. - The Ring only charges on a charger that fits your size ring. So a size 7 and size 9 can not share the same ring charger. It would be nice if the rings charged on a wireless charging pad or something like that. - Although I really like the Oura Ring App, I’d like to see some updates to it. Add more widgets for the Home Screen (not just sleep widgets) and have an iPad app would be a few ideas. BOTTOM LINE: - I think people see the value in fitness trackers to help guide you on being more physically active or just keeps an eye on things. But more in this day, there is push back on the amount of screens we have in our life. The Oura Ring 5 feels like something from a Sci Fi movie that we have in our life right now. It’s so light and thin, it blends into your daily life like you have no idea it’s there. But when you want to use it, the Oura Ring app is amazing and gives you a really great overview of how you are doing. The more you wear it, the more it gets to know you and your trends, and the better it can suggest ways to improve. I really think anyone who gets this ring is going to completely change their view of how fitness / health / sleep trackers should work, and they are going to fall in love with the Oura Ring 5!

    I don’t have enough space in this review to talk about all the great things about Oura and this new 5th generation ring. I’ve been an Oura user for 3 years, and upgraded from the 3rd gen to the 5th. This 5th gen ring has exceeded all expectations and I truly believe, coming from a nurse, everyone should have an Oura ring on their finger for health awareness. To start, get the sizing kit and wear the sizer for 24 hours to confirm the size you want. You’ll want it on your non dominant hand so you don’t get activity credit for writing something down or all the little things you would only do with your non dominant hand for most accurate readings but you do you. The reason for the 24 hour sizing is because your finger size changes throughout the day related to blood flow, posture, and temperature. You want to make sure it fits at all times. Loose will not get you accurate data from the sensors. When yiu get your ring, connecting to the Oura app is a breeze. It recognizes the ring to pair, has you wave your hand so you can see the how fine the ring captures your motion and you’re ready to go! They suggest a 2 week period for the ring to learn your body to really start getting accurate data for your movement and your body. Be gentle with yourself if your scores don’t start out great. This is a learning opportunity to see how you can get insights to improve your health by being aware of how different things affect your body and mind. Compared to wearing the 3rd Gen, I fell like I’m not wearing anything and do actually subconsciously check to see if it’s still on my finger, which it always is, but it’s just so light and not restrictive, and fits so comfortably all day and night(see picture). To help Oura get to know you and your movements, use the tags, and if it misses an activity, let it know what you did and it will learn. I play ball with my dogs against our cinder block garage and marked it as handball so now it asked if I was playing handball after I play with my dogs. Same goes for housework, yardwork, basketball, etc. movement is movement. Give yourself credit. The more you tell it what you’re doing, the more it will learn about you. It also links up with other activity trackers, like Apple Watch, and will capture an Apple Watch workout to log in your Oura data. A super cool feature is also Oura advisor, which uses AI to assess your data and give you insights and explain your data to you (see added photo). There is a lot to learn about the various data points that are captured and what they mean for you. Use advisor if you get stuck on some data and need more info, super helpful chatbot. There is also glucose tracking with a add on stelo sensor, labwork you can add on, meal tracking, reports you can give your doctor, circles so you can compare with family and friends, symptom radar which will at times know you are sick before you even feel it. I attached a picture of when I had food poisoning where it showed I had major signs of stress, which I definitely felt. Stress tracking, sleep tracking, activity, resting heart rate, integrations with ovulation trackers which my significant other has used for several years, and even research and future features you can opt in on to test out. Again, I cannot recommend Oura enough. I get people think they read their bodies and don’t need tracking but Oura adds a bright light to your read on your body. I’ve learned not to eat late as this will keep my resting heart up because my body is trying to digest food while I sleep when it should be resting, when to go to bed to optimize recovery based on how long it takes me to fall asleep and when I wake, how much activity I should be getting throughout the day and it tells me when I need a little extra rest. I know when I’m sick, often before I feel sick. I learned how bad alcohol destroys your body recovery and sleep. I feel validated when I feel something feels wrong and Oura backs me with data. If you care about your health, short term and long term, Oura ring 5 is a phenomenal tool to give you data that you can learn from and act on so that you can be your healthiest you. Oura just notified me that I need to stretch my legs a bit, so I will end here. Get the ring for you to be your best you. You deserve it.

    Oura ring five is unbelievably comfortable. Their new Five is smaller and lighter than the four models. It’s so attractive. The gold color of the ring looks like real gold. It blends flawlessly with the other jewelry I wear on my hands. The battery lasts over a week and charging it is a simple procedure. I love the sleeping tracker. It’s both beautiful and highly functional.

    I wound up exchanging for a size 9 which fits well. Great features. I luv the realistic heart beat when checking the bpm. I do find it a little challenging to sleep with it but I'm that way about all rings. I would like to be able to input and track my blood pressure and weight in the app also. I'm hoping to get more used to it because it is definitely a practical product. I like that it comes in different colors also.

    I recently bought the Oura Ring 5 and, so far, I’m very impressed. The design is sleek, comfortable, and discreet, which makes it easy to wear all day and night without really noticing it. What I like most is how simple it makes health tracking. The sleep insights, readiness score, heart rate tracking, and activity data are presented in a clear and useful way. It does not feel overwhelming, but it still gives enough detail to help me understand my habits and make better daily decisions. The ring also feels premium and well built. Battery life has been solid, and the app experience is intuitive. I especially appreciate how it focuses not only on exercise, but also on recovery, sleep quality, and overall balance. It is not a cheap product, and the subscription model may not appeal to everyone. However, for someone who wants a comfortable and elegant health tracker without wearing a smartwatch all the time, the Oura Ring 5 is an excellent choice. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone interested in improving their health awareness in a practical and stylish way.

    I’ve been wearing my ring for a few weeks now. It holds a charge for at least a week, maybe a tad longer. It’s lightweight and comfortable to wear. I wear it all the time, except when showering. I love the info about my body, how I slept and my steps taken. I like how it’ll let me know when my bedtime is coming up. Taking photos of foods, beverages to learn more about what you’re eating and drinking. Tracking my monthly cycle and lets me know when it’s coming. Plus it does so much more. There’s no notification vibrations, like a smartwatch. So wearing it to bed isn’t bothersome. Plus you wear it on your non- dominant hand. Do buy the sizing kit, find your size and wear it to be sure you purchase the correct size ring. Wearing this ring has motivated me to live a healthier lifestyle.

    The new Oura Ring 5 is much smaller - by almost half - and lighter than my Oura Ring 4.It looks better, more like an actual piece of jewelry rather than a tech device on my finger, and is much more comfortable. The new Oura Ring 5 is much smaller - by almost half - than my Oura Ring 4. It's lighter and looks better, more like an actual piece of jewelry rather than a tech device, and is much more comfortable to wear. I barely notice it. And the brushed silver is perfect, it goes with most of my watches and other accessories. It's an upgrade I would highly recommend!

    I’ve only been wearing my Oura Ring for about a week, so a ton of features still need time to calibrate. It’s really interesting how it tracks and learns your habits to give accurate results. I absolutely love the size and color (I got the gold), it looks awesome and doesn’t get in the way of workouts. I am really looking forward to seeing all the long-term stats. Just a heads-up: the actual ring feels slightly tighter than the plastic sizing kit. I was comfortable with a 7 in the kit, but the real ring feels a bit snug sometimes. I am keeping it because Oura recommends sizing down if you are between sizes so the sensors can gather accurate data. If it ever bothers me, I can just switch it to a different finger. Battery life has been great. Five days after a full charge, I am still at 27% battery.

    Great overall health monitor

    Got this for monitoring my general health. I don't do smart watches but wanted something to give me health insights. Received the sizing kit and fitted for use. They quickly mailed the size and color options I selected. Ring fit as expected. The ring is light weight and actually smaller than my wedding band. I do have it on my right ring finger. I have been wearing it now for a few weeks. Ring has held up pretty well. It does have one scratch, which i presume is from working out. I wish it would detech activities a bit more aggressively. It seems to detect high heart rate and duration to determine activity. I was hoping for more info on step counts as well. It does have these functions but was looking for more insight. I did connect my smart weight scale so that syncs and shares data. There are also several integrations to add more insights and the ai assistance. I do love the vitals monitoring - heart rate, sleep monitor, activity. This helps me assess my overall health and make some better decisions. You can manually tag activity/meals/and historical activity to add and keep track. I did get several app updates that seemed to add a new function each time. This did NOT interrupt my usage but gave a notifcation to download and then apply. Battery has been great. There is a direct notification and charge status well before the battery expires. This gave me the opportunity to choose when i wanted to charge the ring rather than it just dying on me. Charging was done via a size specific charger and was pretty quick. You can also monitor battery level via the main page on the app with an icon or add a widget to your phone page(android). Overall a nice health monitor device that is continually getting better. It provided the ability to monitor vital health markers over time. And does this without a watch or other electronic band. In a nice jewelry that can be unnoticed.

    I’ve been using the Oura Ring 5 for a few weeks now and I’m really happy with it. The sleep tracking has been the most useful feature for me, and I like how comfortable and lightweight it is. The battery lasts several days, and the app is easy to understand. It has helped me pay more attention to my recovery, activity, and overall health. It’s a bit of an investment, especially with the subscription, but if you’re looking for detailed health insights in a ring instead of a smartwatch, I think it’s worth it. I would definitely recommend it.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Smart Ring That Exceeded My Expectations I’ve been incredibly impressed with the Oura Ring 5. The sizing kit was absolutely worth using before ordering because it ensured I got the perfect fit the first time. The ring is lightweight, comfortable enough to wear all day and night, and I hardly notice it’s on. The app is where this ring really shines. It provides detailed insights into my health, daily activity, recovery, and sleep patterns. The sleep tracking is especially impressive, and I find myself checking the app every morning. The data feels accurate and has helped me make better decisions about my daily routine and overall wellness. I also love the gold finish. It still looks fantastic after daily wear and hasn’t tarnished at all, which was one of my biggest concerns before purchasing. Pros: * Accurate and detailed health, activity, and sleep tracking * Sizing kit makes it easy to order the perfect fit * Comfortable enough for 24/7 wear * Excellent app with easy-to-understand insights * Beautiful gold finish that doesn’t tarnish * Lightweight and stylish enough for everyday use Cons: * The upfront cost is higher than many other fitness trackers. * It takes a few days of wear for the app to build personalized insights. Final Verdict: The Oura Ring 5 is one of the best health and wellness purchases I’ve made. The sizing kit takes the guesswork out of ordering, the app is incredibly informative, and the ring is both comfortable and durable. If you’re looking for a stylish wearable that provides meaningful health insights while maintaining its appearance, I highly recommend it. It’s an outstanding investment in your health and well worth the price.
