Oura Ring 5 Review: Best Smart Ring, But Existing Users Can Skip Upgrade

The Oura Ring 5 has been reviewed by The Verge as the best smart ring currently available on the market. It is recommended as a solid casual health tracker and a strong alternative to smartwatches for first-time buyers. However, the reviewer advises current Oura Ring 4 owners against upgrading, as that model was released less than two years ago. A ceramic variant of the Ring 4 arrived even more recently, under a year ago, and already represented a significant improvement over the Gen 3. The Ring 5 is seen as an incremental rather than essential step forward for existing Oura users.

As the AI boom accelerates demand for data centers, local communities are mounting growing resistance to new facilities near their homes. Opposition has been fueled by concerns over strain on local power grids, land use, and environmental impact. The roots of this pushback stretch back to at least 2015, when residents challenged Apple's plans to build a $1 billion, 500-acre data center in Athenry, Ireland. That early dispute foreshadowed the wave of grassroots protests now emerging in towns across the country. Activists and yard-sign campaigns signal that the fight over where and how AI infrastructure gets built is far from over.
