Reviewers describe Oura’s Ring 5 as a significant upgrade over the Ring 4, focusing on comfort and usability. Multiple outlets report that the Ring 5 is slimmer and lighter, making it easier to wear for long periods and more comparable to everyday jewelry. Both sources also characterize the Ring 5 as a meaningful step in overall day-to-day experience, suggesting the ring can be worn without feeling obtrusive.
Pricing is presented as a premium proposition. One outlet notes that the Ring 5 is a direct replacement for Ring 4 and starts at £399 (with equivalent pricing in other currencies). It also describes a subscription requirement: only basic daily metrics are available without paying, while additional features require an ongoing monthly fee.
CNET emphasizes the upgrade’s appeal, particularly for wearers who want a comfortable ring form factor. Together, the reviews position Ring 5 as a generational change in hardware and wearability, while still tied to Oura’s paid feature access.
