I've lost two Oura Rings, but Oura finally added an Android feature that iPhone users have had for years, and this upgraded version has given me peace of mind. 2 3 minutes read I've been an Oura Ring owner for more than a few years now, having tested and owned each model since the Oura Ring Gen 3. However, during that time, I've unfortunately misplaced a couple of rings, which is never ideal for a device that costs at least a few hundred dollars. The Oura app for iPhone has included a function to locate the Oura Ring via its last known location, but the feature was missing on Android for years. Fortunately, Oura finally brought the feature to Android, and the Oura Ring 5 launch introduced an updated version of this feature for both iPhone and Android users, called Locate.

Here's where you can preorder the new Oura Ring 5. May 28, 2026 If you've been waiting for a smaller version of the Oura Ring, the company's latest wearable is now available for preorder ahead of its June 4th release from Oura and various third-party retailers, including both Amazon and Walmart. The Oura Ring 5, which starts at $399, is 40 percent smaller than its predecessor, thanks to a design that's both slimmer and lighter. Oura also promises improved accuracy and battery life, letting you get up to nine days of use on a single charge. In addition to the aforementioned hardware changes, Oura is rolling out several new software features, including a Locate tool for finding a misplaced ring or charging case using Oura's app. On the fitness front, the company is introducing a live activity mode for real-time workout and heart rate tracking, along with support for third-party heart rate monitors and new GLP-1 tracking tools. Oura also announced Health Radar, a system that monitors nighttime breathing and blood pressure patterns for signs of potential health issues, and partnered with Counsel Health to bring AI-assisted medical guidance to the app. Aivanet is still testing the Ring 5, but if everything announced thus far has your attention, Aivanet has included links and pricing details below. Where to buy the Oura Ring 5. Oura Ring 5. Where to Buy: * $399 at Amazon * $399 at Walmart * $399 at Best Buy Beginning today, you can preorder the Ring 5 at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and Oura's online storefront in either silver or black, starting at $399. Premium colors - including the gold, stealth, brushed silver, and deep rose variants - are also available from the same retailers starting at $499. Each model includes a size-specific charger and a USB-C cable, and, like prior iterations, is eligible for HSA and FSA reimbursement in the US. In terms of sizing, Oura's latest smart ring is available in sizes 6 through 13 with a free sizing kit, which is helpful since the slimmer design means sizing differs from previous Oura Ring models. Like prior iterations, the ring works with both iPhones and Android devices, though you'll still need an Oura membership ($5.99 a month / $69.99 a year) to access all of the platform's health insights and features. Along with the ring, Oura is launching the Oura Ring 5 Charging Case, which supports wireless charging and can provide up to a month of battery life. It also sports an action button that lets you quickly pair the case and check charging status. Like the Ring 5, the case will hit stores on June 4th, though you can preorder it starting today at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Oura's online storefront for $99.

Supergrowers are emerging in Finland - but who will own them in the future? In Finland, companies are growing that could be 10 times larger than they are now. Why aren't politicians reacting? Today at 10:00 "A structural transformation of the Finnish economy is underway. By the 2030s, Finland will be a technology- and growth-company-driven economy," predicts Jyri Engeström, partner at Lifeline Ventures, on the Markkinaraati program. In Finland, it's common to think that startups are small and insignificant, but according to Engeström, it's time to revise these perceptions. There are numerous rapidly accelerating companies here that will soon grow to rival and surpass current large listed companies. "These companies could be satellite firms or even those building nuclear reactors," he says. As an early-stage venture capital firm, Lifeline Ventures has extensive experience with Finnish unicorns, having invested in nearly all of them: Supercell, Wolt, Oura, Iceye, and Aiven. 0 seconds of 13 minutes, 16 seconds Volume 0% The fruits are being harvested elsewhere. On Markkinaraati, experts ponder how at least some of the growth benefits could also be retained in Finland. Currently, startups needing growth-stage funding almost always have to seek the majority of their financing from abroad, and with that, the fruits of growth flow out of the country. "In Finland, risks have been taken, challenges overcome, and incredible global companies created, and it's possible that these companies will grow 10 times larger," Engeström says. "Unfortunately, Finnish ownership has diluted to about one-tenth, while the majority is held by American companies." It's important to hold onto supergrowers because they can be not only economically but also strategically significant for Finland. "They are critical companies for infrastructure, defense, and the functionality of the entire society, and we should own more of them than we do currently," Engeström says. Oura didn't wake up politicians. Ownership doesn't have to flow abroad, experts emphasize. The Finnish startup community has listed proposals to better retain companies. One key issue is the availability of growth-stage financing. Early-stage funding is available in Finland, but often the B-round is raised from abroad. The Oulu-based smart ring company Oura recently announced it is moving its headquarters to the United States. Behind the decision was better access to capital. According to Riikka Pakarinen, CEO of the Finnish startup community, it was somewhat surprising that politicians barely reacted to Oura's decision. "When a paper machine unfortunately closes somewhere in Finland, a ministerial delegation goes to show sympathy," Pakarinen says. Apparently, no politician has contacted Oura. Ask Kauppalehti.
