Oura Ring 5: Slimmer Design, Smarter Tracking
The fitness tech world’s most anticipated release arrived with the Oura Ring 5, starting at $399.
This fifth-generation smart ring boasts a noticeably slimmer profile than its predecessor while maintaining durability for gym workouts. The device tracks over 50 health metrics spanning sleep quality, physical activity, heart function, stress levels and metabolic data.
If you want something simple that actually works, this is one of the most effective tools I’ve used to build strength, conditioning, and endurance without needing a full gym setup.
- Full-body training with one weight using swings, squats, and presses
- Solid cast iron build that feels stable and lasts for years
- Comfortable grip that makes high-rep workouts easier to handle
To unlock the ring’s full potential, users need a subscription ($5.99 monthly or $69.99 annually). For first-time Oura wearers or those ready to upgrade from bulkier previous models, this represents the pinnacle of health wearable technology currently available.
Bala Expands Beyond Weighted Accessories
Known for their aesthetically pleasing weighted wrist and ankle bands, Bala has ventured into full activewear.
The Everyday Active collection maintains the brand’s signature minimalist aesthetic with muted color palettes. Pieces range from $69 to $109 and include sports bras, biker shorts, flared leggings, dresses, sweatshirts and sweat shorts designed for both studio sessions and everyday movement.
Kimba: Scent-Powered Sleep Technology
Former special forces commander Ben Fuxbruner created Kimba to address his severe PTSD-related sleep issues when existing solutions fell short.
The bedside device combines biometric monitoring with intelligent aromatherapy, currently available for pre-order at $299 (regularly $399) with winter delivery expected. Kimba’s built-in sensor tracks sleep patterns, breathing rate, movement, disturbances and snoring, then releases personalized scents based on that data.
Integration with popular wearables like Oura, Whoop, Apple Watch, Fitbit and Garmin allows for enhanced precision through heart rate, HRV and temperature monitoring. The water-based, 100% plant-derived scents are non-habit-forming, with capsules requiring replacement every three months.

The formulation includes four prebiotic fiber types, marine DHA omega-3, 3 billion CFU probiotics, minerals and polyphenols that work synergistically to boost absorption across all four colon sections.
The naturally flavored powder delivers subtle sweetness without artificial additives.
Amazfit Targets Hybrid Athletes
As Hyrox’s official wearable partner, Amazfit launched new smartwatches tailored for hybrid fitness enthusiasts.

HybridCharge, a new platform feature, aggregates wearers’ energy and recovery data, stress levels, lifestyle factors and workout strain to provide real-time guidance on balancing training intensity with recovery periods.
Gymshark Meets Y2K Nostalgia
The Gymshark x Bratz collaboration channels early 2000s energy with activewear designed for workouts requiring serious attitude.

Google Challenges Whoop With Fitbit Air
Google entered screen-free wearable territory with the Fitbit Air, launched in late May at $100.
The band monitors heart rate variability, blood oxygen levels, temperature and sleep patterns. Three months of Google Health Premium come included ($10 monthly or $100 annually afterward, compared to Whoop’s $199-$359 annual membership).
While functional without subscription, Google anticipates users will value the membership’s Gemini-powered personalized coaching and biometric analysis. Basketball fans can opt for a special edition Stephen Curry-designed version.
Bandit’s Architectural Inspiration
Brooklyn-based technical running brand Bandit pays homage to Pritzker Prize-winning Mexican architect Luis Barragán with its “Sin Prasa” summer collection.
The range introduces four new performance fabrics, including a lightweight compressive material that’s “virtually sweatproof,” breathable jacquard mesh, seamless fabric with enhanced stretch and temperature regulation, and performance mesh engineered for cooling during intense training.

The new formula at $32.24 with subscription (regularly $42.99) undergoes expanded testing for PFAS and microplastics, with purity controls 10 times tighter than industry norms. A six-stage independent verification process by EuroFins, Light Labs, NSF Certified for Sport and Tested by SuppCo ensures quality.
