The Oura Ring 5 just landed, and from everything we’ve seen so far, the new model already sounds a lot like the version I’ve been hoping for. I’ve had an Oura Ring in my rotation for roughly five years. For the past six months, I’ve been flip-flopping between two Oura Ring 4 models, a metallic and a ceramic. The rings have become as much a part of my routine as my house slippers or my increasingly dented Hydro Flask. Ironically, I also smack them into hard surfaces with alarming regularity.
As much as I love my current rings, I’m very excited for the newest generation. It doesn’t hit every item on my extremely unrealistic wishlist, but there are a few upgrades in particular that already have me ready to upgrade.
