Oura Ring 5 Accidentally Confirmed on Official Website: Launch Could Come Within Months

Oura appears to have accidentally confirmed the existence of the Oura Ring 5 on its own website. A Reddit user spotted that Oura's official sizing video — part of the checkout process — briefly instructed buyers to place "Oura Ring 5" on their index finger, before the company corrected it back to "Oura Ring 4."

Building Evidence

This website slip follows a series of increasingly concrete signals:

• March 2026: Leaked images showed a slightly redesigned ring with a new Deep Rose finish and updated internal sensor layout
• April 13: An FCC filing appeared for a new Oura device, with a 180-day confidentiality window pointing to early September 2026
• April 25: The official sizing video slip — suggesting Oura's production and marketing teams are already working with Ring 5 assets

What We Expect

Based on the leaks, Oura Ring 5 is expected to feature a more rounded outer profile, new color options including Deep Rose replacing Rose Gold, and updated internal sensors. The ring may also ship alongside the patented smart charger with a built-in display.

What This Means for Buyers

If you're considering an Oura Ring Gen 4 at $349, the calculus is shifting. A Ring 5 announcement in summer 2026 means you could be buying last-gen hardware at full price. That said, Ring 4 is still the best smart ring available today. For buyers who want a ring now without the wait, the RingConn Gen 2 at $299 requires no subscription and the Gen 3 launches May 5.
