Oura's smart rings just dropped $100 ahead of Black Friday

Smartwatches have been the go-to device for those who want to track their health and fitness metrics. They also keep you connected without taking you out of the moment. But if you don't really care about the latter, the smart ring is the way to go.

You get great tracking in a compact size; it's more subtle, and it lasts longer on a single charge. If you're going to choose one, we can easily recommend something from Oura. The brand offers class-leading products like the Oura 4 and Oura 5.

The real exciting news is that these products are both on sale. The Oura 5 is the latest, offering a slimmer design, and now has a $50 discount. The Oura 4 still offers impressive tracking for a more affordable price, now with a $100 discount. We highly recommend you take a look at what Oura has to offer.

The best for less

Oura is one of the first brands to offer smart rings, and has pretty much dominated the space for over a decade now. Despite other brands showing up with their own competitors, many have fallen short.

Of course, you'll be able to save a little more with the other guys, but we think that Oura provides one of the more complete experiences. The only drawback is that you need to sign up for their subscription plan in order to gain access to the complete experience.

It can still work without a subscription, but we wouldn't recommend it. The rings offer health and fitness tracking, along with tracking sleep and stress levels. The watches can last up to a week on a single charge, which is better than most smartwatches out there.

And since the ring doesn't have a screen, you need to track all the data it collects through the Oura app for Android or iOS. Overall, we think it's a good time to buy. You can save big ahead of Black Friday.
