Fitness trackers come in all shapes and sizes, but did you know that they can also come in the form of rings? If you’re interested, you can get the Oura Ring 3, a smart ring that can monitor different kinds of health metrics, with a $50 discount from Best Buy. Instead of its original price of $299, you’ll only have to pay $249, but you need to act fast because we’re not sure when the offer will end. Add the wearable device to your cart and proceed with the checkout process immediately if you don’t want to miss the savings.

Why you should buy the Oura Ring 3

Despite the arrival of the Oura Ring 4, the Oura Ring 3 remains a worthwhile purchase as one of the best fitness trackers that you can buy. According to our Oura Ring 4 versus Oura Ring 3 comparison, the Oura Ring 4 is thinner and lighter, and offers a slightly improved battery, but it shares the same fitness tracking features with the Oura Ring 3, and both are compatible with iOS and Android smartphones. They also both require an Oura membership that costs $6 per month to unlock deeper insights and exclusive features, so the lower price of the Oura Ring 3 compared to the Oura Ring 4 is even more appealing.

So what exactly can the Oura Ring 3 do for you? A lot, actually. Using its built-in sensors, it can measure your heart rate, blood oxygen levels, skin temperature, and movement. The Oura Ring 3 connects to the Oura app on your smartphone using Bluetooth, and it syncs with Apple Health and Google Fit for a comprehensive snapshot of your health metrics. The app is very helpful, providing your Sleep Score, a Readiness Score, and an Activity Score, among other important information that you need to know.

As an alternative to smartwatch deals, the Oura Ring 3 is an excellent fitness tracker, and it’s an even better investment right now because you can get it at $50 off from Best Buy. You’ll only have to pay $249 instead of $299 for this smart ring, so you may want to think about giving it as a gift to a loved one for the holidays or even just to yourself. You’re going to have to hurry though, as we’re not sure how much time is remaining on this discount for the Oura Ring 3.

One of my favorite smart rings is a must-buy thanks to Cyber Week

If you are like me and want the advantages of a smartwatch but dislike notifications on your wrist, a smart ring might be the perfect device for you. However, owning a smart ring can cost a lot, especially when smart rings like the Oura Ring come with a recurring subscription.

The RingConn Smart Ring is different. I love the Gen 1 version for three reasons: long battery life, a comfortable design, and a portable charging case. It was a good deal with a $259 retail price, but it faced tough competition from more established companies.

These Cyber Week stocking stuffers are now on sale

Christmas is upon us, and although there's a lot of heartfelt sentiment around the biggest holiday of the year, it also means something more material: gifting (!). If you're using Cyber Week deals to start getting gifts, that's great — but most buys are usually too large to fit in a stocking (just try to fit one of these Cyber Week Alienware deals in a sock!), and the prices can be way off.

How much should you spend on stocking stuffers? What is "allowed"? We rounded up a list of the best gifts to buy on Cyber Week for your stocking-stuffing needs — all of which are tiny treasures that will undoubtedly be well-received and, in some cases, will generate a fun laugh.

The 11-inch iPad Pro M2 sold out, but you can get the iPad Pro M4 for the same price
iPad Pro with M2 inside.

If you've been looking forward to the arrival of this year's Cyber Monday Apple deals. it's time to get excited. There are some excellent deals. Best Buy was offering the Wi-Fi + Cellular model of the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M2 for only $1,099, following a $1,000 discount that nearly halved the tablet's original price of $2,099. But since there's always high demand for savings on Apple's iPad from Cyber Monday deals, that offer is sold out. Don't panic, though. Best Buy also has the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro with M4 Chip for the same price -- $1,099. It's only a savings of $100, down from $1,199, but that's still a fantastic price. We highly recommend shopping this deal before it sells out too.

 
Why you should buy the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M4 instead
The Apple iPad Pro M2 wasn't the latest version of the powerful tablet -- that distinction goes to the Apple iPad Pro M4, yet both have rightfully taken their place in our list of the best iPads as the best premium option. Since the first deal on the M2 model sold out, you're getting the best of the best right now for the same price, anyway.
