Yes, the Oura Ring 5 is smaller

This is not a Mount Oura 5 comments. That’s coming later, after I’ve had enough time to test the new durability and battery life, including the new software updates that roll out today. At this point, I wanted to provide an answer to a burning question that I have seen asked in many Oura rings. comment sections on the Internet.

Yes, it is smaller and lighter than Ura Ring 4. And for impatient people considering upgrades, I come and compare the size of Oura Ring 4 – regular and ceramic types – plus Oura Ring Gen 3.

Comments: Size matters a lot with smart rings. Not only do smart ring designers follow ring sizes, but an incorrect fit can mean incorrect data or a lost ring. Due to its compact design, Oura has also changed its equipment. Even if it’s difficult, even if you think you already know the size of the Oura ring, I recommend that you get a calculator. For example, I went from a size 8 in Gen 3 to a size 9 in Oura Ring 4. And while a size 9 is still my size in Oura Ring 5, it’s a great fit. If your finger is usually a “medium” size, you will want to see how the test kit works for 24 to 48 hours, as fingers can swell and shrink with temperature changes. Take it from me: Size your smart ring twice, buy once.

If you have any more questions about the Oura 5 ring, feel free to leave them in the comments. I will keep that in mind as I continue to review my entire review.
