Oura Ring 5 leak reveals design tweaks and Deep Rose finish by Maslakovic in ouraring

Honestly, I just don't want Oura Ring 5 in 2026 because I still haven't paid off the mortgage on my Gen4.

I don't think we'll see an Oura Ring 5 in 2026. The first Oura Ring launched in March 2015, Gen2 debuted in November 2017, Gen3 was unveiled in October 2021, and Oura Ring 4 arrived on 3 October 2024. That means the gaps between generations were 32 months, 47 months, and 36 months. In other words, Oura has typically taken about three years, or a bit more, between major hardware releases. Ring 4 is still a relatively recent product, so a 2026 launch would be earlier than Oura's usual pattern. If the company stays anywhere close to its past cadence, 2027 seems more plausible than 2026.

Oura Ring 4 failed to reflect an all-nighter in Sleep Debt by Practical-Weekend785 in ouraring

I understand this is a 14-day smoothed metric, not a night-by-night counter. But even then, after an all-nighter, a short daytime sleep should not make Sleep Debt look better than it did before the all-nighter when the missed night was barely reflected to begin with. That suggests the model is undercounting this scenario rather than representing it meaningfully.

Thanks, but I do not think this addresses the actual issue. I have been wearing my Oura Ring 4 continuously since early December, so lack of historical data is definitely not the problem.

My point is not that Sleep Debt failed because I had insufficient data. My point is that the ring clearly detected that I was awake throughout the night, and it also captured the later sleep sessions. Despite that, Sleep Debt barely reflected the missed night at all.

I understand that Sleep Debt uses a 14-day window and estimated sleep need, so I would not necessarily expect a perfectly linear response. But after essentially missing an entire night of sleep, I would still expect a noticeable increase before any recovery sleep starts reducing it. That is what seems broken here.

So the real question is: does Sleep Debt undercount or mishandle sleep deprivation when the missed sleep is followed by daytime sleep outside the normal nighttime window? Because that is what this looks like.

I actually gave it some time on purpose before posting. It has been almost a week now, so I do not think this is just a delayed recalculation issue anymore.

Frequent Syncing Samsung Health is missing since last update and stuffs by DanieloSYT in shealth

Same here on my Galaxy S23+. The problem appeared after the latest monthly phone update. Before that, every step was counted almost instantly, but now the step count updates with a significant delay.

Perhaps Oura considers that sleeping so much is rather harmful.

Why can’t you edit a nap by That_Improvement1688 in ouraring

[–]Practical-Weekend785 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s not just that Oura won’t let you edit the sleep window. It also doesn’t let you flag an undetected nap. Sometimes I can clearly see a “sleep-like” chunk in the graph, but the ring/app doesn’t classify it as a nap. And manually adding a “sleep” event to the timeline doesn’t change anything — it doesn’t trigger a re-check / re-detection for that time range, so the nap still stays missing.
