I tested an Oura ring – it revolutionised my stress management and it’s on sale for Black Friday

FITNESS rings are the latest wearable health tracker and they’ve already gained an ardent following among those who want the benefits they bring, but don’t want the bulk of a smartwatch.

In our Oura ring review, we gave it the thumbs up for its functionality and style – and from today there’s up to $100 off in the Oura Black Friday sale.

It’s worth noting that while the pricing is in US dollars, Oura does deliver to the UK and the discount is applicable in the British Pound equivalent.

The biggest discount is on the rose gold version, but there’s $79 dollars off the gold, $50 off stealth and brushed titanium, and $30 off the silver and black finishes, so if you’ve been tempted but have been holding back then what are you waiting for?

There’s also a monthly subscription fee of $5.99 so you can access all functionality of the ring and app, however, you can view your three daily Oura scores and basic profile without this.

Our reviewer tested the Horizon in the gold finish (to coordinate with her jewellery) and found it to be ‘a great option if you want a fitness tracker you can wear without thinking about it’.

For smartwatch wearers, the Oura also offers a more comfortable and unobtrusive tracker for sleep without a sweaty wrist. The ring measures the time spent in deep sleep, light sleep and REM, as well as how long you lie awake.

‘Going to sleep with a watch each night was never quite something we could get used to, so taking the watch off and using the Oura ring to track sleep was a dream,’ explained our reviewer.

Sensors track your heart rate and heart rate variability, your activity and your temperature as well as your sleep habits and give you three scores each day – readiness, sleep and activity.

‘We are big fans of keeping it simple and love OURA’s uncomplicated approach to scoring,’ she added. ‘It gives you a sleep and readiness score, and with one look at the app in the morning, you’ll be able to see what your body needs for the day.’

In comparison to some other fitness trackers the Oura has a pretty impressive battery life – it lasts around six days on a single charge. You can even wear the ring while showering or swimming so how’s that for practicality and convenience.
