| Choose if | You want Oura's sleep, heart-rate and temperature-trend tracking in the previous-generation ring and don't need Ring 5's smaller size. | You want overnight sleep, HRV and temperature trends from a ring for under $200, with nothing more to pay each year. | Anyone in a whole ring size from 5 to 14 who wants long battery life and would rather pay $479 once than pay a yearly membership. |
| Main trade-off | You pay a yearly membership for full features, and Oura says Ring 5 is 40% smaller with greater accuracy and battery power. | It has no sleep apnea monitoring or charging case, and RingConn takes returns within 14 days only for a reason such as a defect or the wrong color. | Ultrahuman publishes no Ring PRO accuracy figures on the pages checked, some features are paid PowerPlugs, and theft and loss cover needs the $54 two-year UltrahumanX plan. |

| Exact variant | Silver finish, plus Oura Membership billed separately | Galaxy Silver, sizes 6 to 14 (or 'Don't know my size' with the free sizing kit), charging dock included | Aster Black finish, whole sizes 5 to 14, with PRO Charging Case |
| Dimensions | 7.90 mm wide and 2.88 mm thick. It weighs 3.3 to 5.2 g, depending on ring size. | 6.8 mm wide and 2 mm thick, weighing 2.5 to 4 g depending on ring size. RingConn's page doesn't give the inner diameter of each size. | It's 2.65 mm thick, though thickness varies by size. It weighs 3.3 to 4.8 g depending on size. Ultrahuman doesn't state band width or per-size inner diameter on the pages checked. |
| Installation | No installation. It pairs with the Oura app on iOS or Android. It charges on the included size-specific charger with a USB-C cable. Oura offers a free sizing kit with plastic sizers before you order. | No installation. If you don't know your size, choose the free sizing kit ('Don't know my size') when you order. RingConn says it sends the kit before the ring ships, and that it arrives in 3 to 8 days, depending on location. It suggests wearing the sizing ring for at least 24 hours, including overnight, then submitting your size under 'My Orders'. If you're between sizes, it recommends the smaller one or sending RingConn photos and videos. The ring works with iOS 17.0 or later and Android 10.0 or later. Each account pairs with one ring at a time. In the box are the ring, a charging dock, a Type-C cable, and an instruction manual and quick start guide. | No installation. It pairs over Bluetooth (BLE 5.3) with the Ultrahuman app, which is on the App Store and Google Play. In the box are the ring, the Ring PRO Charger and a 1 m USB-C to USB-C cable. Ring PRO charges only on the PRO Charger or PRO Charging Case, not on a Ring AIR charger. Before you order, Ultrahuman offers a free sizing kit with plastic sizers in sizes 5 to 14. |
| Materials | The inner and outer surfaces are titanium, and the interior has no seams. Oura says minor scratches from regular wear are normal. | Titanium steel with a PVD coating and medical-grade epoxy resin. The FAQ contrasts this with the titanium used for the Gen 2. | The ring is titanium with a PVD coating, plus epoxy and polycarbonate. Ultrahuman says the inner surface is hypoallergenic plastic and titanium. The charging case is aluminum, stainless steel and plastic. |
| Warranty | A 1-year protection plan is included with purchase. The product page offers upgrades to 2 years for $45 or 3 years for $60. | RingConn's Return & Refund Policy gives one year from delivery outside the EEA, which includes the US, and two years in EEA countries. It will repair, replace or refund if a defect in its workmanship causes the damage. Claims go to RingConn with proof of purchase. The warranty excludes improper or negligent use, maintenance contrary to instructions, normal wear and tear and accidental damage. The policy calls rechargeable batteries consumables with a limited lifespan and leaves battery replacement out of the standard warranty. The warranty transfers to later owners. The Gen 2 Air page itself carries no warranty text. | A 12-month limited warranty runs from delivery and covers defects in materials and workmanship. It's valid only in the country of purchase. The Terms of Sale, which don't name Ring PRO, exclude consumable parts such as batteries or protective coatings unless a defect caused the failure. They also exclude accidents, misuse and normal wear and tear. Cosmetic damage such as scratches and dents isn't covered unless a defect caused it. Upgrading through trade-in resets the warranty. Optional UltrahumanX coverage costs $36 for 1 year, with accidental damage protection and priority care. The $54 plan for 2 years adds theft and loss protection and what Ultrahuman calls weight loss insurance. |
| Returns | If you bought the ring directly from Oura's online store, you can return it within 30 days of receiving the order. It has to be fully functional and undamaged, and come back with the charger and USB-C cable. Ring sets can't be partly returned. Exchanges are only for a different size of the same ring, and each item can be returned or exchanged once. Refunds go to the original payment method, but original shipping and handling aren't refunded. Rings bought from other retailers follow that retailer's policy. Oura's return FAQ says to cancel the membership when you return a ring. The Ring 4 Silver product page says canceling doesn't entitle you to a full or pro-rated refund of fees you've paid. Warranty replacements can't be returned for a refund. | Only rings bought directly from RingConn.com qualify. You have to request a return within 14 calendar days of delivery, and you need a valid reason. The policy lists a defect or damage on delivery, a color that doesn't match your order, or a product that differs significantly from its description. The ring must be in its original condition, unopened and unused. Once a return is approved, you have 14 days to send it back. You pay return shipping, and shipping, handling and tax aren't refunded. The exception is a defect, damage or non-conformity you reported with photos in advance. No restocking fee is stated, but RingConn may deduct for damage, wear or missing parts. Refunds go to the original payment method within 30 calendar days of RingConn receiving the ring or proof of return, whichever comes first. Sizing kits can't be returned, and canceling after the kit ships costs $10. For a different size or color, the policy recommends returning the ring and placing a new order. | If you're not completely satisfied, you can return it within 30 days of delivery. Send it back in the original packaging with all original accessories, including the charger. The Ring PRO FAQ and the Smart Rings Terms of Sale both say return shipping is free. No restocking fee is stated. The Terms of Sale list these return terms under the Ring AIR heading, and the FAQ applies them to Ring PRO. |
