What about the Oura Ring 5?

At the time of publication, Oura has announced the Oura Ring 5, so does it make a difference to our comparison? The Oura Ring 5 is a design update and is thinner and lighter than the Oura Ring 4.

How does the sleep tracking compare to the Oura Ring?

The main reason you'd buy the prxxhri ring over the Oura Ring is because it's more affordable and does away with subscription fees (yay). But for that affordability, you must makes sacrifices in terms of sleep functionality. While the prxxhri smart ring delivers basic sleep tracking data, it doesn't go far beyond sleep duration and sleep stages. By comparison, Oura goes into much more depth adding metrics like sleep latency (how long it takes you to fall asleep), sleep efficiency (a metric gauging how long you spent asleep compared to how long you spent in bed), and a sleep debt log to its sle
