Save on the Oura ring 3 this Black Friday

As Steve mentioned earlier, the Samsung Galaxy ring has just received its first-ever price cut this Black Friday, but it’s not the only wearable with a discount. The Oura ring gen 3 has also been slashed in price, making it an excellent opportunity to grab a top-tier wellness tracker at a lower cost.

Both rings offer impressive features like heart rate and sleep tracking, but while the Samsung ring works best with Samsung products, the Oura ring gen 3 works just as well with both Android and iOS. Save £100 on the ring in this deal, highlighted by fitness editor Emilie in her article below:
