The Oura Ring is at its lowest price ever for Cyber Monday — get over $100 off
If a smartwatch is too bulky or complicated, this 'set-it-and-forget-it' health tracker might be just the ticket. It's one of the best Cyber Monday deals yet.
Nothing's ever going to take away the convenience that comes with a smartwatch, but do you ever just wish they weren't so bulky? Also, for some folks, learning the screen and button functions is also a bit intimidating. So, if you're looking for a tracker that's still sleek, but much more understated, you can opt for something like the Oura Ring. During Amazon's Cyber Monday sale, you can score the in-vogue fitness tracker for as low as $235. And if you're into gold, that version is down to $335, over $100 off its original price.
Seeing as this is the most popular fitness tracker ring on the market today, we're pretty giddy over this deal. While the Apple Watch is the most recognizable piece of wearable tech out there, the Oura Ring is gaining a huge following. Shoppers love that it performs most of the same tasks and has a shorter learning curve.
If you've been thinking about adding one to your wishlist, now's the time to pounce. It's made of durable titanium and is up to $114 off for Cyber Monday — just one of many sweet Cyber Monday tech deals.
Health tracker? What health tracker? The water-resistant Oura comes in seven colors ranging from silver (shown) to black to rose gold.
Why is this a good deal? ??
Aside from being completely unassuming (I mean, who would even know this thing is a piece of tech?), this smart ring is the most affordable it's ever been — and that's all thanks to this Cyber Monday deal. The silver version is $64 off, down from $299 to an all-time low of $249 — this is more affordable than it was on Black Friday. If you're willing to spend a bit more, the gold version is down from $449 to an all-time low of $335.
Why do I need this? ??
If you love the idea of smartwatches but not how clunky they can be, the Oura Ring is well worth a look. It keeps track of your sleep, activity, stress levels, heart rate and more with the Oura membership. When you get a new Oura ring, your first month is free, and then it's $6 a month from then on.
The ring is compatible with both iOS and Android phones and integrates with over 40 apps like Apple Heath, Google Health Connect, Flo, Strava and more. And if you have some FSA or HSA funds left to spend, the Oura Ring, its accessories and even the shipping costs are all covered.
You also don't have to worry about it rusting or deteriorating over time — Oura Rings are made of titanium, so they're built to last, and they're actually lighter than the average wedding ring. On top of that, they're water-resistant and nonallergenic. Be sure to choose the correct size for your finger (there's a convenient sizing kit) since Oura Ring sizes are different from standard ring sizes.
What reviewers say ??
More than 1,600 Amazon shoppers have given the Oura Ring five stars, with some saying it's so comfortable that they've left behind their smartwatches for good.
Pros ??
"Finding the Oura has been a wonderful game-changer," one five-star reviewer wrote. "I can wear this for days and only take it off when I'm having a shower to charge. I find that I'm responding more to the data feedback from the ring than from my watch and don't see myself going back to a smartwatch."
Shoppers also appreciate its impressive battery performance: "The 5-7 days of battery life means I don't have to constantly charge it," another fan wrote. "It's a set-it-and-forget-it kind of device, which I love."
"The color is amazing and definitely gives it an elegant look," a shopper added. "It's 1,000% a step up from wearing an Apple Watch with a nice outfit. My favorite part is how it tracks your sleep and stress... It also tracks my workouts, and for some reason, even knew I was playing pickleball one day! Also, it holds a charge like no other!"
Cons ??
One shopper warns that the color may be a little off: "So far, the Oura Ring is awesome and does everything that is advertised," the reviewer said. "However, the rose gold color is more gold than rose."
A final shopper added that it's "bulky on my hand, but not unattractive." Still, they noted this: "Most of the time, I forget it is on my hand."
