Oura Ring 5 Improves Smart Ring Design With 40% Slimmer Build and 9-Day Battery

Summary
$399 Oura Ring 5 is rated the brand’s best model yet, with the review citing a markedly slimmer fit, longer battery life and stronger durability.
The biggest hardware change is a build 40% slimmer than the previous generation, making it feel more like jewelry while staying comfortable enough for all-day and overnight wear.
Battery life now stretches up to nine days, and a scratch-resistant coating adds durability, addressing two of the main long-term concerns for wearable devices.
The review says the ring’s appeal is reinforced by Oura’s app ecosystem, which now includes features such as meal tracking, multiple-ring support and recovery-focused Rest Mode.
