After spending time reviewing the latest regulatory filing, there seems to be a treasure trove of information on this device. Contrary to reports that the product is a far way off from reality, Oura Ring 5 is now moving through the last stages of certification around the world.
From my own experience, the new product has already made its way into the FCC and IMDA (Singapore) regulatory databases. The following are key facts about Oura’s plans for late 2023.
The “Paper Trail” for Oura Ring 5
The second clue is in the new FCC ID, which stands at 2AD7V-OURA2601. If you’ve been keeping tabs on Oura’s development cycles, the “2601” is a clear indicator. Why? It’s a well-established pattern for Oura to use such codes to refer to the generational changes in their product line, including 2101 for Gen 3 and 2401 for Ring 4. So when you see a 26xx, you know we’re talking about the future ring version.
These are the exact details from the filing:
- Model OA13: This is the new ring, mentioned in both FCC and IMDA listings.
- Model OA14: The corresponding charger, listed as “Induction Loop Communication System”.
- Timeline: The filing process kicked off on March 19, 2026.
- Confidentiality Notice: Oura requires that any photographs and user manuals be withheld from public access until September 15, 2026.
Beyond Bluetooth: A Technical Shift?
The one particularity that stood out for me from the “Equipment Description” on the FCC site was the “TCB Scope” that was labeled as A4: UNII devices. Usually, the BLE scope is utilized in smart rings. The mention of U-NII implies that Oura may be exploring some higher frequencies.
It could potentially imply faster synchronization of high-resolution health data or a “Find My” feature based on Ultra-Wideband technology that would allow finding the lost ring even in complete darkness.
The Global Readiness
The fact that this product can be found in both the IMDA database in Singapore and the U.S. patents indicates that the world release is near. When a product can be found in both databases at once, it shows that the “golden units” are now available.
When Can We Buy It?
If you are waiting for an exact release date, plan for mid-September 2026. Oura almost always manages to hold its launch event before their FCC confidentiality period ends. With September 15th designated as the “unmasking” date, it’s safe to assume that Oura will unveil their latest product either at the end of Q3 or beginning of Q4.
Despite the somewhat ambiguous name, “Wellness ring,” in the regulatory documents, it appears that Oura is finally preparing to combine its latest technological advancements into a single unit that would be built using the thinner titanium frame.
I will be watching closely whether Oura will publish any early photos through the Korean RRA and SIRIM websites.
