But if you havent been tempted to upgrade and are instead rocking an Oura Ring 4 or Ring 3, you
might wonder if youll miss out on the new features packed into the latest model.

Well, the good news is that plenty of the new features have just been rolled out to those older products. Specifically, Oura is bringing Health Radar,
live activity tracking, numerous Oura Labs tools, lost device locating, and a lot more. Live activity tracking is a notable addition, as it adds real-time workout metrics to the Oura app, allowing you to monitor your progress as youre keeping fit and active. It turns the Oura Ring into much more of a workout partner than before. Latest Videos From Watch full video here:

Health Radar, too, is a sizable update. With it on board, your Oura Ring can assess your long-term health signals in the background, including changes to your heart and breathing rates, to spot any emerging patterns in your health and wellbeing.

Oura Ring 5: here are 3 upgrades we want to see next A welcome change (Image credit: Future) Changes like this are very welcome, especially since the Oura Ring 4 is less than two years old at this point. Its never nice to see relatively recent tech missing out on key software features that could feasibly be backported to it, so the fact that this has happened will be
great news for owners of the Oura Ring 4 and Oura Ring 3.

The update seems to have gone down well with customers, too. Posting on Reddit, user beanizzle noted that their Oura Ring can now recognize long-haul travel without any status needing to be manually entered. Speaking of the change, the user said: This is definitely a great new feature as I sometimes struggle to remember to give my body more grace after traveling through time zones.

have it!
