It's been less than two years since I reviewed the Oura Ring 4, so I was surprised to learn that the Oura Ring 5 was coming so soon. After all, we went roughly three years between the launch of the Oura Ring Gen 3 and the Oura Ring 4.
But while I expected the Oura Ring 5 to simply be a refresh, the updated design really proves it's something of a generational leap over the Oura Ring 4. In fact, with the smaller profile, long battery life, and other notable upgrades, the Oura Ring 5 feels like the smart ring that all other rings should strive to be.
