Oura Ring 5 Introduces Separate Charging Case Purchase
TL;DR. Oura is requiring separate purchase of a new charging case for the Oura Ring 5, a significant cost increase over previous models. - Caveat: New battery-equipped charging case is a separate purchase. - Standout: The Oura Ring 5 itself is an update to a popular health tracking wearable. - Availability: Not specified, but implied to be with the Oura Ring 5 launch.
- Oura will sell the Oura Ring 5 and its new charging case separately.
- The charging case itself contains an additional battery for recharges.
- This introduces an anti-consumer practice by requiring an extra purchase for a core accessory.
