Oura Ring 5 dupes and alternatives: 4 cheaper health trackers, scored
Oura Ring 5 is the smallest ring in this group. Oura lists it from 2 g with up to 9 days per charge and 100 m water resistance, but most of its insights need an Oura membership. An alternative has to match the weight and water rating, and ideally drop the fee.

How this page was scored
Screenless trackers are compared on rated battery days, weight and water rating, and on whether the core features keep working without a paid membership. Some makers charge a monthly or yearly fee for the insights, and that often costs more over two years than the price gap between devices.
Specs are weighted by how much they matter for a health tracker. An alternative earns full credit for matching or beating the Oura Ring 5 on a spec, a proportional share where it falls short, and half credit for a spec its maker does not list. Models that list too few specs to compare fairly are left off. Read the full method.
