United StatesNewsweek reviews the Oura Ring 5, highlighting its significant size reduction compared to the previous model, which makes it the world's smallest smart ring. While the device offers improved battery life and some enhancements in nighttime heart rate variability (HRV) accuracy, it struggles with tracking heart rate during certain physical activities, particularly those involving weights. The article notes that the Ring 5 performs reliably during indoor cycling but has issues with walking and running.

Pricing has increased slightly, starting at $399, with additional options available at higher prices.
