It's officially Black Friday deals and most of the best smart rings are discounted handsomely, including trendy options from Oura and Samsung.
With the majority of the TG fitness team sporting a smart ring of some sort, you can bet we feel strongly about which models you should buy. After all, the Oura Ring 3 helped Senior Writer Sam Hopes uncover a potential sleep apnea diagnosis, and Fitness Editor Jame McGuire's smart ring knew she was pregnant before she did.
If you're working with a smaller budget, the Amazfit Helio Ring is down to just $149 at Amazon, making our favorite budget ring even more affordable, especially since you don't need a subscription to use it.
The Oura Ring Gen-3 is down to as little as $249 at Amazon. There are discounts on all designs, so you aren't limited to just one style and can pick according to your personal taste. FYI, this model sat atop our list of the best smart rings until the Oura Ring 4 came out.
Of course, if these aren't quite right, there are always the best Black Friday smartwatch deals to check out.

Which smart ring deal should you choose?
The first question to ask yourself when shopping for a smart ring is whether or not you're comfortable paying a small monthly subscription fee for health data and insights. While some smart ring manufacturers skip the recurring costs, the best smart ring maker, Oura, has a monthly fee of $5.99.
The latest generation Oura Ring 4 isn't on sale this holiday season, but the Oura Ring 3, which offers most of the same tech and features, is marked down to $249. Given that the Oura Ring rarely goes on sale, this savings is worth taking advantage of if you're actively considering the device.
Another factor to consider when choosing a smart ring is the kind of smartphone you own. Most major smart rings will work with Android and iOS devices with one major exception, and that's the Samsung Galaxy Ring. Unfortunately, it's the nearest competitor to the Oura Ring 4 in terms of features and insights. It's also subscription-free. But, iPhone users will need to look elsewhere.
Next, how much are you willing to spend? The Amazfit Helio Ring is currently the most affordable smart ring we recommend, at just $149, while the Galaxy Ring is the priciest. Even with Black Friday discounts Samsung's device is $399 or more than twice the price of the Helio Ring. Between those two, you'll have several more niche options from Ultrahuman and RingConn.
