Oura Ring 5 Launches in June 2026 With Smaller Design and Upgraded Health Tracking Features
Oura released the Ring 5 in June 2026, featuring a smaller form factor and improved sensors for health and fitness tracking. The device tracks sleep, heart rate, body temperature, and activity. It competes in a growing wearable wellness market that includes smartwatches and fitness bands from Apple, Garmin, and others.
Oura released the Ring 5 in June 2026, updating its flagship health tracking wearable with a smaller design and upgraded sensors. The device tracks sleep stages, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, body temperature, and daily activity.
The Ring 5 is thinner and lighter than its predecessor, addressing a common complaint from users who found the previous version bulky for everyday wear. Oura says the new design fits more comfortably on a wider range of finger sizes.
New features include improved sleep staging accuracy and a more detailed breakdown of recovery metrics. The ring also adds a new stress tracking feature that uses heart rate variability data to estimate physiological stress levels throughout the day.
Oura competes in a wearable wellness market that has grown significantly over the past several years. Apple Watch, Garmin devices, and fitness bands from Fitbit and Samsung all target similar health-conscious consumers.
The ring form factor appeals to users who want continuous health monitoring without wearing a watch. Oura says its ring is particularly popular among people who work with their hands or who find wrist-based devices uncomfortable during sleep.
The Ring 5 is available starting at $349 and requires a monthly subscription for full access to health insights and trend data. Oura says it has more than 2 million active users worldwide.
