It's been less than two years since the Oura Ring 4 launched, and the Oura Ring 5 is already here. And while we have some good first impressions of Oura's latest smart ring, the last-gen model is currently on sale ahead of next week's Prime Day. Now, select Oura Ring 4 models are on sale, but some of the more expensive color options are currently seeing discounts, including the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic.
The Oura Ring 4 Stealth and Brushed Silver colors usually go for $399, which is $50 north of the cheapest Oura Ring 4 models. However, with the $50 discount, these colors are now among the cheapest you can buy. That said, the bigger $100 discounts will be found on the fancier colors, such as Gold and Rose Gold, as well as the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic, all of which are going for $399 or lower if you get the Midnight Ceramic color.
I've been using the Brushed Silver Oura Ring 4 since it launched in 2024, and while it's thicker than some feel comfortable with, I've never had an issue with it. I don't often wear rings, so I don't really have anything to compare it to aside from the Oura Ring Gen 3. Still, even with the slimmer Oura Ring 5 now on the market, I think the Oura Ring 4 is a fantastic device with a great design.
But beyond a great design, the Oura Ring 4 has stellar battery life, lasting up to eight days on a single charge. There are also a ton of health and fitness tracking features, and it even has automatic activity detection, tracking things like walking, running, yard work, gardening, and even dancing.
The Oura Ring 4 also provides a comprehensive view of your health in the app. You can see your timeline of activities, set goals for yourself, log food and track nutrition, and even chat with the AI advisor about your health, based on what it knows about you.
Of course, many of the most useful features are hidden behind the Oura Membership, which costs $5.99 per month. To some, it seems like a lot to add to the cost of a relatively expensive ring. However, keep in mind that if you have an HSA or FSA, you can use that to pay for both the ring and the membership. For many people, that money is often just sitting there unused, and the Oura Ring 4 feels like a good way to put it to use.
