Oura’s Ring 5 is now available for pre-order in India, starting at Rs 39,900. The smart ring went up for pre-order on October 22 through Amazon and Croma, in sizes 6 to 13.
For readers new to the category: the Oura Ring is a smart ring, a health tracker shaped like an ordinary ring and worn on the index, middle or ring finger. Low-profile sensors on its inner surface read signals from the finger – Oura says the pulse signal there is up to 100 times stronger than at the wrist – and pass them to the Oura app, which turns the readings into daily scores and trends covering sleep, activity, stress and recovery. It is built for passive, round-the-clock tracking, through workouts, swims and sleep. Oura presents these as wellness insights rather than medical measurements, and the full set of insights requires the paid Oura Membership.
The Ring 5 is 40 percent smaller than the Oura Ring 4, with a titanium build and lower-profile sensors. Oura says a new signal architecture with upgraded LEDs and 12 signal pathways improves accuracy across different finger shapes and skin tones. The ring tracks more than 50 health metrics across sleep, activity, stress, readiness and recovery, and carries an IP68 rating with water resistance up to 100 metres.
New software features include Health Radar, which watches biometric trends and currently covers blood pressure signals and nighttime breathing; GLP-1 Insights for users on GLP-1 medications; and Menopause Insights. Oura says these are wellness features, not medical measurements.
Battery life is a stated strength: Oura claims up to a week on a charge, with the company’s own launch material specifying six to nine days depending on ring size and usage.
The Silver and Black finishes cost Rs 39,900, while Gold, Deep Rose, Stealth and Brushed Silver are priced at Rs 50,900. Full health insights need an Oura Membership at Rs 599 a month, with the first month bundled for new buyers; without it, the app offers only limited functionality.
