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.

Today, you can get the 'Horizon' (larger and thicker) version of the ring for $249 instead of $349 or the slimmer Heritage version of the ring for $199 instead of $249. Those are respective savings of $100 and $50.

A colorful deal? Save $500 on the OnePlus Open today, but color matters
Rear shell of OnePlus Open in black.

If the first thing you think of when you think of a folding phone is the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold or the Samsung Galaxy Fold 6, it is time to broaden your horizons. Why? The OnePlus Open, considered to be one of the best folding phones, is a little older but still a worthy contender. And today, you can save $500 or more off of its usual $1,700 price.

However, where you should buy it depends on which color variation you want — Emerald Dusk (green) or Voyager Black. For the green variation, you can get the phone for $1,200 at either Amazon or Best Buy, saving you $500. The black version, however, is selling for $1,092 at Amazon. Despite not being labelled as a deal, the black version is $108 cheaper on Amazon than Best Buy and $608 cheaper than Best Buy's regular price. And, surprisingly, the colors do matter a tad.

Error?! Why the Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 8 Pro kids tablets are on sale for the same price today
Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition

If used properly, a tablet can be a portal to education or entertainment for your child, just like the Gameboy COLOR was for you back in the day. But, nonetheless, picking out a tablet for your kids isn't easy. And right now a quirky deal that makes both the Amazon Fire HD 8 and Amazon Fire HD 8 Pro just $85 makes the decision even more confusing, right? Not necessarily.

Both of these tablets, which originally cost $140 each, are discounted by $55 today, and its pretty clear which one is best for your child. If you have a younger child, the regular version makes more sense and if you have an older child the "Pro" version makes more sense. The naming convention is awful, but that's how it is.
