Smart rings offer a discreet alternative to traditional fitness bands or watches for monitoring daily routines. During this Black Friday period, Oura's ring lineup features price cuts. The standout offer involves the newest Oura Ring 4, now priced at $249.

This Ring 4 earned the top spot in our smart ring rankings for solid reasons. It provides all-day comfort, boasts an eye-catching design, and accommodates finger sizes ranging from 4 to 15.

On the performance side, the device monitors numerous wellness and activity indicators. Its companion application delivers alerts for recovery needs or workout prompts.
