Oura Ring 5 vs Suunto Race 2
Our pick: Oura Ring 5 takes it — 86 vs 84.
Both are strong — the call comes down to what you prioritise:
- Oura Ring 5 — You program around recovery and sleep and want the most accurate, most discreet wearable there is — now so small clients won't clock it.
- Suunto Race 2 — You want a big, bright multisport watch with maps, dual-band GPS and multi-day battery for well under a Forerunner 970, with wrist heart rate you can mostly trust.
Oura Ring 5
The world's smallest smart ring — about 40% slimmer than before, sharper multi-wavelength sensors, and Health Radar. Best-in-class recovery and sleep data stays the pitch; the €429 price and €70/yr subscription stay the catch.
Suunto Race 2
The Race 2 keeps what made the Race our value pick (dual-band GPS, free offline maps, huge battery) and fixes its biggest flaw: wrist heart rate is much improved. The screen is larger and brighter and the case lighter, but it costs about 130 EUR more than the Race does now, and smart features stay basic.
