Oura Ring 5 is pushing wearable health tracking toward a more discreet form factor while placing greater weight on software-driven analysis. The new smart ring is 40 percent smaller than its predecessor, and Oura says the lighter titanium build is also non-allergenic, making it more comfortable for all-day wear.
The smaller size makes the device look closer to an ordinary ring than a health tracker. At the same time, Oura is leaning harder into features that look beyond raw measurements and focus on patterns that may matter for heart health and sleep.
Blood pressure signals during sleep
The headline addition is Blood Pressure Signals, a feature designed to detect biometrics patterns and changes that may serve as early warning signs of cardiovascular issues. Oura says the best time to monitor blood pressure is during sleep, when it should naturally dip.
If that drop does not happen, the device can flag a pattern worth attention. The feature also surfaces nighttime blood pressure information so users can take preventive steps sooner.
Oura Ring 5 also tracks sleep and nighttime breathing with a rolling 30-day view, along with explanations that help users understand what the data means. That keeps the experience focused on context, not just numbers on a screen.
Health Radar becomes the new analysis layer
Blood Pressure Signals sits inside Health Radar, a new feature announced alongside the ring. Health Radar expands on Symptom Radar, which arrived in 2024, and works in the background to read biometrics and identify changes that deserve closer attention.
Ricky Bloomfield, Oura’s chief medical officer, said the feature helps connect patterns that users would otherwise have to search for on their own. He also said Health Radar makes it easier to see shifts in blood pressure signals that may point to cardiovascular strain or more frequent breathing disruptions during sleep.
That approach turns health data into something more actionable. Instead of leaving users with isolated readings, Oura is trying to surface alerts that are easier to interpret.
More than a ring: services and device finding
Oura is also broadening the product’s role through a partnership with Counsel Health. The on-demand care platform combines licensed doctors with medical AI and will be available in the Oura app for members in 43 U.S. states.
Through that integration, members can ask health questions, receive personalized guidance, and connect with licensed providers in minutes. Oura is also adding Locate, a feature meant to help users find a lost ring and charging case.
Locate is available for Oura Ring Gen2 and later generations. It supports multiple devices and adds a search mode inside the Oura app to increase the chance of finding misplaced hardware.
Battery life, pricing, and availability
Oura says the ring can last up to a week on a single charge. Its portable charging case can hold power for one month, supports wireless charging, and includes a dedicated Action button that shows charging status in the Oura app.
Preorders for Oura Ring 5 are now available through Oura’s website, with shipping set to begin on 4 June 2026. The ring comes in sizes 6 through 13 and is priced at $499 for Gold, Stealth, Brushed Silver, and Deep Rose, while Silver and Black cost $399.
Oura recommends using a Sizing Kit before buying. The kit is free with preorder, or it can be purchased for $10 at Best Buy and Target, with Target also offering a $10 gift card for the purchase.
The charging case can also be preordered for $99 in selected markets, including the United States, Canada, and Europe except Cyprus and Malta. Oura membership costs $5.99 per month or $69.99 per year, while new software features such as Health Radar, Blood Pressure Signals with Nighttime BP and Cuff Inputs, and Nighttime Breathing will roll out starting next month for users who set the language to English.
Beyond Oura’s own store, the ring is also sold through Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, Target, and Walmart.
