"The ceramic rings start at $499, and will come in four colors: midnight (teal), petal (pink), tide (mint green), and cloud (white). The rings utilize zirconia ceramic, which Oura says it chose for its durability. Supposedly, Oura says that the ceramic is so hard, that it can cause some metals to scuff. On the plus side, the color is isn't a coating unlike some of the metal finishes, meaning there's no fading over time."
"Oura isn't launching a fifth-gen smart ring this year. Instead, it's zhuzhing up its lineup with colorful ceramic versions of its Oura Ring 4. The ceramic rings are thicker at 3.51mm compared to the regular 2.88mm fourth-gen ring. They're slightly heavier, too, ranging from 5.1 to 8.1g compared to 3.3 to 5.2g. Otherwise, the width, the inner side of the ring, as well as the sensors are identical to the Oura Ring 4."
Oura is releasing zirconia ceramic versions of the Oura Ring 4 in four colors — midnight (teal), petal (pink), tide (mint green), and cloud (white) — starting at $499. The zirconia ceramic is claimed to be highly durable and hard enough to scuff some metals, and the color is integral rather than a coating to prevent fading. The ceramic rings are thicker (3.51mm vs 2.88mm) and slightly heavier (5.1–8.1g vs 3.3–5.2g) while retaining the same width, inner design, and sensors as the fourth-gen ring. Additional offerings include health panels for blood work, a recycling program, and multi-ring device support.
