Ring 5

Oura's Ring 5 is much smaller and lasts about a week, but you'll need a membership too.

Buying call

Buy the Oura Ring 5 if you want the most comfortable, discreet smart ring for sleep and recovery; Gold and Deep Rose cost more than Silver. Reviewers called it almost half the size of other rings, with seven to eight days of battery and better scratch resistance. Skip it if you won't pay for a membership, because most insights need the monthly plan. It costs more than the Ring 4, and the app can hide the depth of its data.
