Gen 5 Oura Ring Finally Drops, Confuses Users by Tracking Their Anxiety About the Gen 5 Oura Ring
In a move that has the wellness community simultaneously thrilled and spiraling, the Gen 5 Oura Ring has officially launched—and it’s already trending for the wrong reasons. The irony? The device’s new “AI Emotional Readiness” feature is reportedly alerting users that their “stress levels are elevated” due to obsessive checking of the Oura app’s release notes. One viral tweet reads: “My Gen 5 ring just told me I’m stressed about whether my Gen 5 ring is working. This is like having a therapist who bills you for the session you spent Googling their Yelp reviews.” It appears the only thing the ring can’t track is the sheer absurdity of upgrading to track yourself tracking yourself.
