The Oura Ring has long been one of our favorite smart rings on the market. Now, it’s getting even better, as Oura is introducing a new feature called Pregnancy Insights. It’s only the latest in a series of announcements made recently by the company.

The Pregnancy Insights feature in the Oura Ring is designed to support women throughout their pregnancy journey by offering useful information and increasing awareness. This feature includes a gestational age tracking tool, which helps users keep track of their estimated due date. It also provides regular weekly updates on the physical changes that one might expect during pregnancy.

As part of the new Pregnancy Insights tool, users will also receive messages about potential interpretations of their biometrics — such as fluctuations in resting heart rate or sleep patterns — which are common during pregnancy. The new tool also includes fresh educational content important to expectant mothers. These resources consist of slideshows and information based on research, covering topics like how your vitals and sleep might change throughout the different trimesters.

Oura previously announced a Cycle Insights feature. This tool enables users to view their current and previous menstrual cycles. It provides information on follicular and luteal phases and predicts the start of the next cycle and period onset within a five-day window.

Recently, Oura has also announced partnerships with Natural Cycles and Glow. Natural Cycles is the first FDA-cleared birth control app. The partnership lets users sync temperature trend data directly from the Oura app. This gives them a hassle-free alternative to manual temperature measurement. With the Glow-Oura partnership, users can also receive insights into the connection between sleep, stress, and overall well-being. The Glow service provides women with information on fertility, pregnancy, and baby care.

Just a few days ago, Oura and Amazon announced a partnership that has made the health and fitness ring available on the online retailer’s platform for the first time. As a part of this collaboration, Amazon is offering the Oura Ring Sizing Kit, making it easier for potential customers to purchase Oura products confidently. Previously, you could only purchase the ring through the Oura website or Best Buy.

As we previously explained, buying an Oura Ring on Amazon can take advantage of several benefits. Firstly, you can use Amazon Prime shipping and enjoy free returns. Secondly, you can still get a discount through your flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA). Finally, if you have an Amazon Prime membership and an Amazon Prime Visa card, you can get 5% cash back on your Oura Ring purchase.

The Oura Ring is available through Oura, Best Buy, and Amazon, starting at $299.

Every time a carrier says "no upfront cost," I brace myself for the asterisk buried in the fine print. T-Mobile's newest 36-month financing plan has one too, though it's dressed up quite nicely. 

T-Mobile, the second largest wireless carrier in the United States, just rolled out a financing option called EIP Flex 36. As the name suggests, it stretches device payments across three full years instead of the usual two. The real hook, however, is what it lets you skip at checkout.

Two fresh OnePlus 16 leaks just landed within days of each other. Together, they point to a flagship that could outlast its competition with its massive battery, and one that ships with genuinely better camera hardware than the OnePlus 15. 

So what's happening with the cameras?

If you've ever had to look for any sort of heat leaks or hot wires, chances are that you've probably used a dedicated handheld camera. But RISION has just launched a tiny new camera tool to make the job easier (and more pocketable). It reminds me of the InfiRay we checked out a while back.

RISION has introduced the Magic and Magic Pro, two compact thermal cameras that plug directly into supported USB-C phones, tablets, and Windows computers. Each module weighs 24 grams, draws power from the connected device, and requires no separate battery. Support covers compatible iPhones, Android devices, and Windows PCs.
