The Oura Ring Gen 3 is 20 percent off for Prime Day

So long as you don’t have new product FOMO, this is an excellent opportunity for bargain hunters. Retailers and companies love discounts on older models right after launching a new one! This is the Horizon model as well, which is normally more expensive than the base Gen 3 due to its fully round shape. Given that Oura comes with a $6 monthly subscription to unlock all the features, getting a discount on hardware can help take some of the sting out. That said, Gen 3 inventory won’t last forever.

Even if you have FOMO, you won’t be missing out on much. I’ve used the Gen 3 for the past three years and tested a bunch of the competition — this is still the clear winner in my book. Compared to the new model, it’s only missing out on flatter sensors, a larger dock, and a slightly more comfortable form factor. The newer Oura Ring 4 does have an updated algorithm that’s supposed to be more accurate, but functionally, you’re still going to get the same metrics with the Gen 3.

That said, if you absolutely can’t stand the idea of a monthly subscription, my second favorite smart ring is also on sale. The Ultrahuman Ring Air is also 13 percent off for Prime Day at $305 and is a great choice if you’re focused on training metrics.
