Oura has been in the news quite a bit recently, between the countersuit from Ultrahuman over patent infringement and users questioning Oura’s ties to Palantir. However, the brand is back with a new Oura Ring 4 that comes not only in new colors but also a new material. Plus, the brand is putting health data in users’ hands in a partnership with Quest Diagnostics.
About the Oura Ring 4 Ceramic

Oura just dropped a new Oura Ring 4 — this time in ceramic. The new rings come in four different shades: a light teal called tide, a crisp white called cloud, a pastel pink in petal, and a dark navy in midnight. The new zirconia ceramic finish is a departure from Oura’s previous titanium design, offering a more durable finish. But that’s not the only development coming to Oura.
If you’ve ever had a problem with your Oura Ring scratching, the new ceramic design has the color native to the material, meaning it won’t scratch and fade over time. With the new ceramic coating, this Oura Ring 4 is a little bit thicker than other models. The new ceramic Oura Ring 4 measures 3.51 millimeters, while the titanium models are 2.88 millimeters in thickness. The Oura Ring 4 Ceramic comes in sizes four through 15, and all colorways will be priced at $499 and are now available to purchase.
Multiple device support
If you’re intrigued by the new ceramic rings but already own a titanium model, there’s good news. Oura now supports multiple devices under one account. That now gives you the freedom to swap rings with your outfits. Multiple rings are supported with the standard $5.99 a month or $69.99 a year subscription; however, you still need to pay for the ring itself, which isn’t cheap.

The new Oura charging case

But in addition to the new Oura Ring 4 Ceramic, a new charging case is coming, too. The charging case holds five chargers and can fully charge a ring in just 90 minutes. The charging case won’t replace the pedestal charger that comes with the ring, but is an add-on meant for travel. The lid of the case keeps the ring safely inside while you’re on the go. Like the pedestal charger, the case is size-specific and won’t fit rings of different sizes.
Oura Health Panels

In addition to the new ceramic rings, Oura is also launching Health Panels. For $99, users can get bloodwork done through Quest Diagnostics and link 50 biomarkers with their Oura data.
The test results will be ordered and reviewed by a licensed clinician and then delivered through the Oura app. Users can then ask Oura’s AI advisor what their results mean and how they can use them to improve their health.
Holly Shelton, chief product officer at ŌURA, says, “By connecting results from Quest’s clinical lab testing with the continuous insights from Oura Ring, we’re moving beyond tracking to truly enabling proactive health management.”
The brand already allows users to get biometric feedback through the compatible Stelo Glucose Biosensor.
