The titanium exterior is now coated with a new physical vapour deposition (PVD) to improve scratch resistance, and the ring itself is dustproof and water-resistant up to 100m with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/ip-ratings-explained\/\" class=\"text link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IP68 rating<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Shrinking the Oura Ring hasn\u2019t come at the expense of performance. Oura says the Ring 5 is more accurate than its predecessor, thanks to LEDs four times more powerful and redesigned sensors positioned closer to the skin for improved signal detection. The ring supposedly incorporates 12 independent signal pathways to refine accuracy across a range of finger shapes and skin tones. Battery life gets a modest boost too, with Oura claiming between six and nine days per charge, up from the Ring 4\u2019s five-to-eight-day range.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two years on since the Oura Ring 4, Finnish health tech company Oura is back with a new&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":530909,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[242299,966,85,46,125],"class_list":["post-530908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gadgets-wearable-tech","tag-healthcare-industry","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=530908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/530909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=530908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=530908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=530908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
