Oura Ring 5 vs. Oura Ring 4: Slimmer, and still with a subscription
· By Endurance Wire
The Oura Ring 5 is an incredible design feat, as the heaviest Ring 5 is lighter than the lightest Ring 4. It's also slimmer than ever, helping wearers track fitness and health data while staying out of the way on their finger. Best of all, there are new health features, including the AI-powered Health Radar suite. The drawbacks are the same — a high upfront cost paired with a recurring, mandatory subscription. The Oura Ring 4 is thicker and heavier than the new Ring 5, but it's still a capable smart ring. The device is cheaper than the Ring 5, starting at $349, although it also relies on a subscription.
