The Oura Ring 5 is finally official, and I couldn’t be any more excited about it. I’ve been a fan of the company’s smart rings since I tried the Ring 3 and wore it every day until the excellent Ring 4 launched, so I switched. I’ve had it on my finger since, and the Ring 5 has everything I wanted. A smaller profile, blood pressure signal monitoring, and a more resistant design to avoid all the scratches of the previous rings.
That is all excellent, but Oura is making one big mistake with its Ring 5, and it has nothing to do with the ring itself, but with the way we charge it.
