SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Oura Health has announced its fifth-generation smart ring, the Oura Ring 5, featuring a two-week battery life and a new algorithm for detecting early signs of illness, according to a press release issued this morning. The announcement follows months of speculation from tech analysts and leaked product images on social media.
When will the device launch? Pre-orders begin next Tuesday, with an official shipping date scheduled for November 15th. Where can consumers purchase it? The ring will be available directly from Oura’s website and select retail partners, including Best Buy and Amazon. What are the key upgrades? The Oura Ring 5 introduces a dual-spectrum optical sensor for more accurate tracking, a case that extends battery life by 50 percent, and a proprietary algorithm that analyzes heart rate variability and skin temperature to predict onset of fever or respiratory infection up to 24 hours in advance. Who is the target audience? Oura officials emphasized the ring is designed for both everyday wellness enthusiasts and athletes, with a new Stress Rebalance app ready at launch. Why this update matters? Industry experts note the extended battery life addresses the primary consumer complaint of frequent charging in previous models, while the illness-detection algorithm positions Oura as a leader in wearable health diagnostics.
