The Oura Ring 5 is the smallest, most discreet and best smart ring available. The Oura Ring 5 is the smallest, most discreet and best smart ring available.

Ouraâ s new Ring 5 is a massive upgrade for smart rings, dramatically shrinking in size and weight to bring them right into line with standard wedding bands and other jewellery.

Oura's New Ring 5 Is Smaller and Lighter--and Adds an AI Health Coach But the real upgrade is Oura's push into AI-powered health insights and proactive monitoring. Two years on since the Oura Ring 4, Finnish health tech company Oura is back with a new smart ring --right in time to compete with the other screenless fitness tracker of the moment, the Fitbit Air . The Oura Ring 5 doubles down on the company's minimalist ethos with a smaller ring design, upgraded durability, and--unsurprisingly--a suite of AI-powered wellness features . The Ring 5 is available for preorder today and begins shipping June 4. It starts at $399 in silver and black, while premium finishes--Stealth, Brushed Silver, an updated Gold, and a new Deep Rose color--cost $499.

It's basically just a loop with a microphone and I want one. The Index 01 is almost anti-tech in its simplicity. There's no needless AI component shoehorned in, aside from speech-to-text. It's a ring with a microphone that you whisper ideas into and I want one. You get an idea while walking down the street, so you quietly whisper it into the ring. The ring sends the idea to a notes app or saves it for later review.

You can speak into the Pebble Index to have it remember things or set reminders, timers, and tasks. Pebble is on a roll--happily skipping along a calm lake, if you will. The resurrected smartwatch company recovered its trademarked name a few months ago, shipped all its new Pebble 2 Duo watches, and is about to start shipping the Pebble 2 Time, which alone received more than 25,000 preorders. But the company is already moving on to some new hardware: the Pebble Index 01 . And unlike most other smart rings, the Pebble Index doesn't measure your heart rate or track your sleep.

The company announced the Even G2 smart glasses, sporting a bigger display in a lighter frame, alongside the R1 smart ring, which can control the display on the lenses. As Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses continue to turn your face into a computer, with a camera and speaker, Even Realities is doubling down on a design that eschews those components. Today, the company announced the Even G2 smart glasses, alongside the Even R1, its first-ever smart ring that controls the display of the G2. The Even G2 glasses don't look wholly different from the original G1 that debuted last summer, which is a good thing, because these are still among the sharpest-looking smart glasses on the market. At a closed-doors briefing a few weeks ago, Even Realities CEO Will Wang said the company didn't advertise its first product much, as it wanted to test it in the market and receive valuable feedback, while also working on expanding its retail presence.

It's a good time to be Oura, the world's most prominent smart ring company . The company debuted the Oura Ring 4 in late 2024 with an updated design, slimmer sensors, and software updates. It was an unmitigated success--out of 5.5 million Oura rings sold since its inception in 2013, nearly half of them were sold in the past year.

A smart ring designed exclusively for women will do what no husband would ever dream of – tell them how to snap out of their mood. The Evie ring will monitor the wearer's menstrual cycles, sleep patterns, and other vital statistics in a bid to help her'learn how to feel her best'. Rather than provide the data in complex graphs and charts, the results will instead be simplified into'actionable insights' for the user to change their lifestyle. The Californian-based firm behind the smart ring, Movano, is aiming for it to become the first wearable to also be approved as a medical device. The Evie ring will monitor the wearer's menstrual cycles, sleep patterns, and other vital statistics in a bid to help her'learn how to feel her best' Alongside monitoring heart rate, respiration rate, and skin temperature, the ring will also track users' ovulation, periods, and menstrual symptoms.
