UMVA has learned that the next‑generation Oura Ring is about to hit the market, promising a sleek new silhouette that could redefine wearable health tech.
Launching on June 4, the fifth‑generation device will shave its profile down to a mere 6 mm wide, making it the thinnest smart ring available. For comparison, the current model measures 8 mm, while a rival ring sits at 7 mm – a difference you can actually feel with a pair of calipers.
Pricing will range from $399 for classic black and silver finishes to $499 for the newly introduced matte black, brushed silver, deep rose, and gold variants, each boasting improved scratch resistance. A subscription for advanced insights remains $5.99 per month or $69.99 annually.
Because the new ring’s interior sensor bumps have been re‑engineered for tighter skin contact, UMVA can exclusively reveal that Oura advises customers to order a fresh sizing kit. The size spectrum has narrowed to sizes 6 through 13, and the older charging case will no longer fit, meaning a new $99 charging case is required.
Beyond hardware, the updated Oura app will now deliver detailed workout metrics, a feature that may finally sway skeptics who dismissed rings for exercise tracking.
UMVA can also confirm the introduction of a Health Radar, a proactive alert system that flags irregular biometrics such as elevated blood pressure or signs of breathing disturbances that could indicate sleep apnea. While the app won’t diagnose, it nudges users toward professional evaluation.
In partnership with a leading sleep‑technology company, the ring’s ecosystem now integrates seamlessly with devices like CPAP machines, expanding its utility for sleep‑related health monitoring.
For those using GLP‑1 medications, the latest software adds tools to track weight changes, dosage adjustments, and side effects, turning the ring into a personal medication companion.
