- The ring is made of titanium, has IP68 water resistance, a more scratch-resistant coating, and an optional charging case that holds five full charges and supports wireless charging.
- Oura is introducing new software features under Health Radar, including nighttime blood pressure and breathing trends, medical record imports, and a medical chatbot, alongside GLP-1 medication insights and lab result uploads for metabolic health tracking.
- Fitness tracking enhancements include live activity tracking with third-party heart rate monitor pairing and real-time metrics, plus the launch of the Brain Health Study for users to contribute data on cognitive performance correlations.
- The Oura Ring 5 starts at $399 with preorder available now and ships June 4th; new data privacy options allow users to delete information from specific time periods, addressing concerns from the company’s previous Palantir partnership controversy.
