Description:
Can't choose between the Samsung Galaxy Ring and the Oura Ring 4? I'm a smart ring expert: here's which one I'd buy today.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Choosing a fitness ecosystem to invest in is a bit like picking a football team to support or a Hogwarts house. You might be a Garmin disciple, an Apple Watch aficionado, or a Samsung stan. So if you're looking to get a smart ring in the Black Friday deals , you might find it tough to pick out of the two best smart rings on our list the Oura Ring 4 and the Samsung Galaxy Ring.

It's tough to pick which deal is the best: in the US, the Samsung Galaxy Ring is available for $279.99 (down from $399.99 ) at Amazon in its Black, Gold, and Silver colors, while the Oura Ring 4 in Gold is discounted from $499 to $349 at Amazon US . In both cases, you can save 30%.

Meanwhile, in the UK, the Samsung Galaxy Ring is available for 299.99 (down from 399.99 ) at Amazon again, a still-impressive 25% discount. The same thing: the Oura Ring 4 in Gold and Rose Gold has been reduced from 499 to
just 349 at Amazon , while other colors like silver are reduced from 349 to 249 at Amazon .

Fortunately, I'm here to help. I've reviewed and worn both smart rings, and I've written our best smart rings guide, so I'm well-placed to help you choose. As well as highlighting the best deals on both products, I'll be comparing the pros and cons of the two. Let's dive in. Smart ring Black

Save 30% on the Oura Ring 4 in its Gold finish. It's a classic wedding band-style color for the ring, but there's nothing old-fashioned about the rest of the ring: inside, it's cutting-edge with redesigned heart rate, skin temperature, and motion detector sensors.

The same great smart ring with comprehensive metrics, just in a matte black Stealth or jewellery-style Brushed Silver color. The Oura Ring price goes up and down depending on the style of the outer ring, with Ceramic being the
most expensive, followed by Gold and Rose Gold, Brushed Silver and Stealth, then Black and Silver.

A similar 29% ($100) saving on the Oura Ring 4 in Black. It's the same basic ring inside as the Gold version (well, it's anything but basic, but you
know), but the finish is different. The Ring also packs automatic workout detection, an AI-powered chatbot with access to all your health information, women's cycle tracking, and even a Symptom Radar feature that predicts when you're getting sick.

Save 30% ($120) on the Samsung Galaxy Ring in all colors. Unlike Oura, which has different price tiers for colors and requires an extra monthly fee, the Galaxy Ring is a subscription-free fitness tracker that's discreet, comfortable to wear at night, offers detailed metrics, and automatically records movement.

The same great deal on the US site is available in the UK: save 30% on the Oura Ring 4 in its Titanium Gold finish, equating to 150.

Again, even though the currencies are different, the discounts remain the
same as the US: a Black or Silver Oura Ring 4 costs 100 less over the Black Friday period.

The Brushed Silver and Stealth smart rings offer a tier beyond what Samsung does with its Galaxy Rings: an improvement on its Black and Silver colors to make them look better.

At the time of writing, Titanium Silver is sold out in the UK on Amazon, leaving just Black and Titanium Gold left. However, the same discount is available on Samsung's website .

To start with, if you already own a Samsung phone, you should probably get
the Samsung Galaxy Ring. It uses the Samsung Health app, so it ties into your existing ecosystem nicely, and you're able to do some neat tricks like use your Samsung Galaxy Ring as a remote shutter operator for your Samsung
phone's camera.

If you don't have a Samsung phone, you can still get the Galaxy Ring's health and wellness features by downloading the Samsung Health app, so it still
makes sense to buy for Android and iOS users.

Both rings offer outstanding sleep and wellness tracking features, along with features such as automatic workout tracking. The Oura Ring has more choices
of finish, but the Samsung Galaxy Ring has a neat concave design to minimize scratching, which is helpful for longevity.

The Oura Ring 4 offers a more comprehensive suite of wellness tools, some of which you might not use, but it has the downside of requiring an extra
monthly subscription of $5.99 / 4.99, in perpetuity.

Getting a discount on the Oura Ring 4 effectively means getting a year or
so's worth of this subscription free. However, with a similar discount on the Samsung Galaxy Ring, I'd say if you're conscious of budget, get the Samsung. If money's no object, go for the Oura. Out of the two, I'd lean towards the Samsung due to the long-term value prospect of being able to use it without a subscription.
