The Oura Ring 4 'can signify you’re getting a cold' – and it's cheaper than ever

The wearable has been reduced by £150 at major retailers - (Oura)

Following the unveiling of the slimmer, sleeker Oura ring 5, its predecessor, the Oura ring 4 is now cheaper than ever. The high-tech, health-tracking jewellery piece has been discounted by £150 – if you’ve been weighing up whether to invest, now’s the time.

Though beloved by A-listers across the globe, the Oura is far from just a fad. Offered in a myriad of styles to suit your personal aesthetic, the remarkably high-tech ring delivers accurate, personalised health data, insights, and daily guidance.

The Oura ring 4’s smart features include meal and glucose tracking capability – designed to give users a better understanding of how diets impact overall health – alongside sleep, activity and stress tracking.

Oura also now offers users insights on cardiovascular age, relative to chronological age, to promote health choices that encourage longevity. Where fitness trackers have previously focused on male-centric metrics, the Oura 4 features women’s health insights in the form of cycle tracking, providing health and training tips depending on where in your menstrual cycle you’re at.

Perhaps best known for its sleep tracking capabilities, the Oura 4 is prized for delivering in-depth data about your sleep stages and how well you slept. It’s even smart enough to detect a change in your body temperature, which might signify that you’re getting a cold. Now that’s hi-tech health.

Oura Ring 4: Was £349, now £199, Amazon.co.uk

Of all the wearable tech I’ve tried this year, the Oura Ring is the one I’ve found most useful—and the only one I’ve continued to wear. It tracks my immune function, resilience to stress, and, most importantly, reminds me when it’s time to prioritise sleep.

One particularly useful feature is Cycle Insights, which uses temperature deviations to accurately track, predict, and visualise my monthly cycle. Even better, it syncs seamlessly with apps like Natural Cycles. Oura Ring members can transfer their overnight temperature trend data into the Natural Cycles app each morning, where it’s analysed by the app’s algorithm to calculate daily fertility status.

Now, you can get the ring at its lowest ever price – the black colourway costs less than £200.
