The Oura Ring 5 was just announced late last week, and on paper, it looks like the smart ring I’ve been waiting for. Having worn the Oura Ring 3 and Ring 4, Oura’s companion app and health data truly set it apart from the competition. But there’s always been a hangup for me: the hardware.
As much as I like Oura’s software, the Ring 4’s big and bulky design is something I’ve never been able to fully adjust to — especially after trying something like the Samsung Galaxy Ring. The competition has been beating Oura here for a while, and I wasn’t sure if the company would ever catch up.
