The new Oura 5 Ring is so light and unobtrusive you forget you’re wearing it: Here are 5 more positive things about this handsome smart ring
As someone who doesn’t wear a watch, nor jewellery too often, I’m so glad I’ve been introduced to the Oura Ring 5. The new model ring is not only smaller, but boasts some bonus functions and extra specs that were missing in the Oura 4.
For anyone not familiar with this stat-reading product, the Oura can best be described as an attractive, traditional-looking ring that tracks the user’s sleep, activity, stress levels, temperature, and general health monitoring.
The new petite size of the Oura Ring 5 is probably it’s greatest selling point, and here at Cream, we believe the best technology is increasingly that which we forget we’re wearing. Even in an accessory sense, you don’t want to be too conscious of the jewellery you’re wearing. That way, when someone comments on a piece (and I’ve received plenty of comments and compliments on the Oura) your response is more one of casual surprise as opposed to eye-rolling expectation. So, yes, size matters when it comes to an Oura ring, and in our view, the smaller and lighter the ring, the better.
Here are five more great things about the new Oura Ring 5.
01. It’s not only smaller but much more comfortable
This is probably the most immediately obvious upgrade. Oura reports that the Ring 5 has 40% less volume than the Ring 4, measuring 6.09mm wide and 2.28mm thick versus 7.9mm and about 2.88mm. The redesigned, flatter sensor arrangement also makes the inside feel less intrusive. Basically, it feels less like wearing a piece of technology and more like wearing an actual ring.
02. The sensors are smarter, improving accuracy
This is the big one, technically. Oura has redesigned the optical sensing system, with shorter light paths, more efficient LEDs and improved sensor positioning. There’s better accuracy in overnight heart rate variability, by 12%, and closer to 20% improvement in accuracy of heart rate during activities such as walking, running and cycling, compared with the Oura 4.03. Battery life is longer
Your Oura ring comes with a small but speedy battery charger, and most users find a full charge to last about a full week.
Energy gets a good bump up in the Oura Ring 5. In fact, one full charge sees the ring reading your stats for a solid week, sometimes even up to 9 days depending on your levels of activity and its analysing of these, whereas I found the Ring 4 often only lasted for a week. We realise that longer batter life is not surprising in progressing models of technology, but with a wearable bit of smart tech like this – whose whole purpose is continuous monitoring, particularly overnight – that extra day or two can make all the difference. You spend less time thinking about charging it and more time actually wearing it. That said, it charges fairly quickly.
04. It’s lighter and less visually ‘techy’
The combination of the slimmer profile, lower weight and redesigned sensors makes Ring 5 considerably more discreet. And of course it’s available in several finishes, including a new Deep Rose. Oura has really pushed the jewellery rather than gadget aesthetic this time. The lightness of the ring means it is unobtrusive, hence you’re much more likely to leave it on 24/7 and that of course means better data.
05. The health insights are becoming more proactive
This is slightly different from the hardware improvements. Ring 5 launches alongside newer software experiences including ‘Health Radar’, which is designed to flag potential changes in areas such as cardiovascular and respiratory health. There are also new health-oriented insights – mostly to assist users taking diabetic/weight loss medications such as Ozempic or Wegovy – and some new AI-enabled medical guidance. For those who have invested in an Oura Ring 4, don’t panic as Oura says many of these new software experiences are also coming to Gen 3 and the Ring 4, so everybody’s happy.So, with its better sensing, smaller design and more comfortable fit, plus a better battery life, this ring is definitely having more outings alongside the Cartier. Now, I know I did say I don’t wear jewellery often but I’m getting used to both rings being worn now.
The Ōura Ring 5 is available in a variety of colours and textures. To view these, and for pricing, visit ouraring.com.

That Madonna and Kylie collab is out and it’s pretty fab, but wait, did Madonna just throw shade at Pepsi at the end of the video?
Loving the new Madonna X Kylie collab, Love Sensation. I’m happy it came out sooner than some time in the near future. They say tomorrow is now really in this hyper-real world. And something had to come from all that talk about a duet between two of the world’s greatest pop sensations. And I will call it a duet because duets don’t have to be mushy and slow and this track is less of a collab and more of an event. It had to come out now. After all, hype is futile without followup, and in today’s InstaWorld that means it ought to have been out yesterday. For devotees in the LGBTQIA communities, the song ought to feel instantly likeable, perhaps even a little familiar – hope and devotion can do those things to your mind. Before you know it, you’d imagine the song was pretty much written for you. And that intent, the natural chemistry, the familial connections, the doing away with too much trickery, that better clarity in vocals, the chiller beats per minute, and that universal message connects instantly with the audience it’s intended to gift. The others will catch on by summer’s peak.
I don’t mind the video. A bit slapped-together-at-an-Amsterdam-promo-gig and with words all over the place having the nerve to think they’re in a lyric video – but, hey, if hideous fonts helps brat artists go viral, hopefully a few lovelier fonted words like these will help teach the folks how pretty language used to before it went #awol and before we let the machines do all the talking.
But something stuck with me after I watched the clip. Not just the naughty earworm that crawled out of the catchy-as-heck song. Not the flashing graphics that for all I know might have read, “You must love Madonna and Kylie or you will perish in hell” (for all I know). And not just the joy of finally seeing two brilliant pop artists coming together to bring their learn-ed all to the contemporary pop scene. It was a little joke Madonna makes at the end when she orders “Coke and ice” on her cellphone.
Now it’s not the statement I’m really questioning here: a classic Coke/coke joke is a classic joke. My pondering was more along the lines of why the statement at all? Call it overanalysing but when it comes to music icons, well, that’s kind of what I do.
So I started asking myself… Was it to sound cool with the kids? Was it possible shade at Pepsi for some odd royalty dispute from yore? Was it payola from a competitive big beverage brand? Was it street-talk hinting that a mix of cocaine and meth might just be where enlightenment’s at? (not tried that combination and probably won’t ever). Was it a woman not having to mind her Ps and Qs (because in a free-speech democracy we shouldn’t have to hold our tongue) and just letting some silly quip slip through her lips in place of silence? As a Leo, I know it’s really difficult to keep your mouth shut, especially when everything that comes out of it is golden. See what I did there?
Anyhoo, the cocaine-was-once-an-ingredient-in-Coke jokes probably began some time in 1930 – a few months after the beverage became completely-cocaine free in 1929 (I’m guessing it took a few years for everybody to get over the Charlie hangover). Like all good jokes, it has longevity and, quite frankly, I think it has purpose. If there’s good reason for the joke’s survival and random injection into the popular vernacular, I’d like to think that it was that any soft drink, with or without the excess sugar, is probably a better stimulant to help you reach a certain (even small) level of conscience or higher consciousness (seriously, because there really is nothing that you can’t do) than, say, coke, ice or a combination of the two.
I’m leaning more towards that than any idea that it fell under a Scattergories list of Stupid Cool-Kid Words, or Jokes To Help Break Those Seconds Of Awkward Silence, and I certainly hope they weren’t three words scribbled on paper and handed over from a PR rep who probably likes her real coke too much.
I’m not sure why I really tried to analyse that one. Just something about it stuck. Like so many of the things Madonna has said since blessing us with her ultra-presence all those decades ago. But I do kind of feel Someone needs to sit this woman down and give her a dose of her own Leo medicine. Or a nice cup of herbal tea and a chat. Or a Tequila cocktail or Coke with ice, even. The point is guaranteed positive public relations is now out of everybody’s hands. Well, kind of in everybody’s hands. Actually, I’m not sure anymore because AI has a pretty big mouth, too. Iconic one-liners might just be bandied about the wrong way if an artist’s delivery is too ambiguous.
What one needs is a good guide or mantra to help practice the marrying of the natural with intention with any desired material result – in this particular case, stream this song, or love me when I’m gone from your phone screen. [He wrote after seeing the video an hour ago and is still thinking and writing about it.]
Point being: genuine intention is good. When that’s in place, everything else follows effortlessly.

Which cars from our favourite movies would be worth the most if sold today?
While The Fast & The Furious franchise practically promotes illegal street racing as an artform, it proves that fast cars get movie-goers truly revved up.
But which automobiles on film and television screens would be worth the most if allowed on real roads today?
Auto insurance company Uswitch.com collaborated with CashForCars.com to calculate the cost of popular fictional vehicles in cinema and TV… and he results ought to spin you out.
If sold in real life, Inspector Gadget’s ‘Gadgetmobile’ would be the most expensive car: the robotic vehicle’s estimated value being around $25,075,000.
Inspired by the 1964 Lincoln Continental convertible, the Gadgetmobile itself is valued at just $75,000, but it is the hidden features – such as jet engines, bumper claws, glue rockets, and the ability to change shape – that see its worth rocket up to $25million.
In second place is Stark Industries’ Acura 2012 ‘Super Car’ as featured in Marvel’s The Avengers. With high-tech features such as palm-scan ID steering, this Palladium-powered vehicle would be worth an estimated $9,198,000 if sold in real life.
Another superhero car races into third place: the Batmobile – or more specifically the one driven by Christian Bale in The Dark Knight.The vehicle would cost an estimated $9,000,000 if allowed on the streets of Gotham City Manhattan or Tokyo today.
Lagging behind, The DeLorean in Back to the Future only just skids into the top ten. While it is perhaps one of the most iconic cars in cinematic history, this time-travelling machine is valued at a surprisingly low $55,500 in real life. And that’s including its vital component – the Flux Capacitor (worth a dismal $450, thanks to obsolescence).
Also in the Top 10 are James Bond’s Aston Martin in ‘Thunderball’ (3 million), the Flying Ford Anglia in ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’ (1.5 million), and the Gigahorse in ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ (just 100k).
But wait, there’s more! Two cool animated autos also fit into the rich cars list. That little hot rod Lightning McQueen from Cars zips in at number 7 (worth just 5k in cartoon dollars short of a million), and the fabulous six-wheeled FAB1 in Thunderbirds (top of story) slides in at number 8 (a quarter of a million, thank you, Parker).
Seriously, your Uber driver’s car is worth more than some of these beasts.
