Why it matters for readers: If you’re thinking of buying a smart ring, consider fit changes from weight fluctuation and everyday inconvenience like cooking or washing.

  • The reviewer lost over 40 kg and found their Oura Ring no longer fit the same way, slipping and spinning on the finger.1
  • Oura Ring 4 launched in India on March 18, 2026, priced from ₹28,900 with a membership at ₹599 per month.1
  • Oura announced Ring 5 globally on May 28, 2026, with shipping beginning June 4, which made the Ring 4 feel immediately dated for those who had waited for an Indian release.1
  • The reviewer noted everyday activities like cooking and washing can make wearing a polished smart ring inconvenient, pushing users to remove it sometimes.1
