Oura Ring 5 Leak Reveals Major Battery and Sensor Upgrades: 5 Things You Need To Know
- Groundbreaking new battery technology promises up to 10 days of continuous use between charges, finally addressing the biggest complaint from current Oura Ring 4 owners and doubling the previous generation's lifespan.
- A brand-new multi-wavelength sensor array is hidden inside the slim profile, enabling real-time blood glucose monitoring without a separate patch or finger prick, a first for any consumer smart ring.
- The design remains titanium and waterproof to 100 meters, but the inner ring surface now features a medical-grade, hypoallergenic coating to prevent skin irritation during 24/7 wear.
- Oura has partnered with leading sleep clinics to embed a new "Sleep Apnea Index" scoring system directly into the Oura Ring 5's daily readiness score, moving beyond simple sleep stages.
- The Oura Ring 5 will launch with a controversial subscription price increase of $2 per month, though early adopters who pre-order can lock in the old "lifetime premium" rate before the change goes live.
