I wore the Oura Ring 5 for a month, and it's an even bigger upgrade than expected
pros and cons
- The brand's slimmest smart ring yet, 40% smaller than the last gen.
- Extra day of battery life.
- GLP-1 insights.
- Useful app add-ons.
- Besides the slimmer physical form, it's largely the same as the Oura Ring 4.
- It is around $50 more expensive, however, with the same annual subscription.
