The Black Friday deals are the perfect opportunity to buy your first smart ring. If you're thinking you want to wear an analog watch instead of a smartwatch, but hate to lose all that health guidance, smart rings are the perfect solution for you. While there are more of the best smart rings to choose from than there were even just a year or so ago, the Oura Ring is the original and perhaps the best-known.

Now that the Oura Ring 4 has been released, the price of the Oura Ring Generation 3 has dropped to its lowest-ever price in the US and UK. In the US? Best Buy has dropped the price of the Oura Ring Gen 3's Heritage and Horizon styles from $299 to $249. Meanwhile, if you're in the UK, you can get the same great discount: the Oura Ring Generation 3 is £249, down from £299, at Amazon UK.

Oura Ring Generation 3: was $299 now $249 at Best Buy

Save $50 on the up-front cost of either a Heritage or a Horizon (angular surface) design. The Oura Ring Generation 3 is a discreet, accurate tracker with loads of features, and at this price, it's perhaps better value than the Oura Ring 4. This discount saves you the lion's share of a year's subscription to the $5.99 a month Oura Membership, increasing the value of the overall package.

The same great discount for the Silver colour. Other colours and finishes such as Gold, Stealth Black and Rose Gold are available at a premium, but the discounts can be more significant: for example, the Rose Gold option is down from £449 to £349, a £100 saving.

Why get this deal?

For many years, Oura was the only game in town when it came to smart rings, and as a result, the Oura Ring Generation 3 tracker's accompanying app has undergone a redesign with some serious new smarts. Sleep, steps and heart rate are tracked, sure, but Oura goes places many other trackers don't.

Resilience is tracked: it's not just a stress score, but a score to represent the way your body handles stress over a period of time. Heart rate variability is recorded during sleep to detect for signs of irregularities, and the Ring's Timeline and Tag features are particularly useful: an easy way to add context to your metrics, you can scroll back through your heart rate and sleep graphs while adding tags like "hotel", "exercise", "alcohol" or "sickness". It's a one-tap digital wellness journal.

However, if you've got a Samsung or Android phone and you don't like the idea of paying a subscription to Oura in perpetuity, consider the Samsung Galaxy Ring, which contains almost as many features as Oura's model and is currently on offer at Amazon in the US, and Samsung's own online store in the UK:

Samsung Galaxy Ring
Samsung Galaxy Ring: was $399.99 now $319.99 at Amazon

Right now in the US, you can score $90 off the Samsung Galaxy Ring, taking it to a new lowest-ever price of just $319, and the first major discount since its release. Just watch out, not all sizes and colors are discounted the same.

There's a £50 saving on every size and color of the Galaxy Ring at Samsung in the UK. That's also the lowest-ever price, and while the discount isn't as generous as across the pond, it is available on the entire range.
