Fitness Enthusiasts Can Score the Ultrahuman Ring Air for $290 or Less, a Record Low
Many of us would like to stay on top of our health, and one way to keep track of your fitness, sleep and other important metrics is a wearable fitness tracker. But not all of us want a bulky smartwatch. That's where smart rings come in. Right now QVC has slashed the cost of the Ultrahuman Ring Air to just $290. That's a solid $59 savings on its list price and beats the price we saw during Prime Day this year. What's more -- if you're new to QVC, you can use coupon code HELLO30 for an additional $30 off, slashing the price to just $260. This smart ring is one of our favorite options for tracking sleep, stress, your heart rate and even caffeine intake. It's also water-resistant, compatible with both iOS and Android and, perhaps best of all, you do not need to pay for an additional subscription to use the Ultrahuman ring. The battery should last up to five days between charges, too. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. CNET expert Vanessa Hand Orellana wrote in her review that "the Ultrahuman Ring Air is a solid first smart ring for most people. It's not flawless, especially when it comes to workout tracking, but it's a great wellness companion that can help you improve or adopt healthier habits. The lack of a subscription alone makes it one of the most accessible smart rings out there." Plus, this deal is available in all five colors, so you can grab the one that best suits your style. Note that QVC will first ship a sizing kit, then you'll need to select the right size for you and your ring will ship separately after your confirmation. Why this deal matters It's rare to find deals on smart rings, and this particular offer knocks up to $90 off the original price. If you've been considering investing in a sleek wearable to help you on your wellness journey that isn't as heavy and chunky as a smartwatch, this is an exceptional deal. But be quick -- an offer this good won't last long.

Oura Ring vs Ultrahuman review: Best Picks tests the top smart rings for sleep, recovery and fitness tracking
From 'caffeine windows' to 'social jet lag' and 'sleep scores', I road-tested both smart rings to see which one really gets under your skin. As someone who regularly falls asleep with a wellness podcast playing and has a vitamin D deficiency despite living in Sydney, I like to think I'm self-aware when it comes to health. But there's nothing like two rings competing on your finger to really call you out on your daily habits. Over the past two months, I've been testing the Ultrahuman Ring and the Oura Ring side-by-side. I've worn them both during sleep, on walks, while cleaning my apartment, and even during a red-eye flight to see how they track recovery and rest. Each promises to give you a deeper understanding of your health, sleep, recovery, and movement, but they do it in very different ways. Here's my honest, first-hand experience comparing the two. Price and subscription: one ring to rule them all? Let's talk money first, because there's a noticeable difference. The Oura Ring Gen 4 comes in at $569 in Australia for standard finishes, or a whopping $799 if you want the gold. That's before the monthly $9.99 subscription fee, which is required to unlock the full experience, including detailed readiness, sleep and activity data. Without it, the ring is basically a stylish sleep tracker. On the other hand, the Ultrahuman Ring retails for $599 and it available to shop on Amazon Australia regardless of the colour you choose and comes with lifetime access to your data. No subscription, no locked features, and definitely no paywall guilt if you forget to cancel your free trial. That alone makes it a solid choice if you're subscription-fatigued (aren't we all?). Design and wearability Both rings are sleek and comfortable, but I do slightly prefer the look of the Oura Ring. It feels a little more polished, almost like a designer accessory, while the Ultrahuman has a more tech-forward aesthetic. Not unattractive by any means, just different. They're roughly the same weight and thickness, and I got used to wearing both fairly quickly. Battery life is comparable, with around five to six days between charges for each ring. Sleep tracking: Oura takes the lead (for now). I have to give the edge to the Oura Ring here. Its sleep tracking feels a touch more dialled in, and the way it breaks down your sleep stages and gives you a nightly 'readiness' score is incredibly helpful. It knows when I've had a rough night or a random nap, and it's scarily accurate at detecting when I'm asleep or just lying in bed on my phone pretending to wind down. The Ultrahuman Ring is not far behind, and to its credit, it has something Oura doesn't: the 'Social Jet Lag' feature. This clever metric compares your weekday and weekend sleep patterns to determine your circadian misalignment. Mine, oddly enough, is set to Adelaide — despite me living in Sydney — because my sleep timing maps closer to two hours west. It's an eye-opener that made me more conscious of staying up too late on 'free' nights and the impact that has on my energy levels midweek. Ultrahuman also offers a 'Caffeine Permissible Window,' which I love. Based on your sleep and wake patterns, it recommends the best time to have caffeine for optimal performance without messing up your sleep later. For someone who often mistakes coffee for breakfast, this has genuinely changed my routine. Activity and movement tracking The Oura Ring deserves credit for how intuitive it is at detecting activity. I'll vacuum the house or run around doing errands, and it logs that movement, including calorie burn, without me needing to tag it. It knows when I'm on a walk versus casually standing. This passive tracking feels effortless and motivating. Ultrahuman leans more into performance and metabolic health. It has a 'movement index' that gives you a more nuanced look at the quality and distribution of your daily activity. It's not just steps; it considers how intense your movement is across the day. If you've ever hit your step count but still felt sluggish, this might explain why. Both rings prompt you to move when you've been idle too long, and both track heart rate variability and recovery, but the emphasis differs. Oura feels a bit more lifestyle-y. Ultrahuman is for those who want a slightly more performance-driven lens. Health insights and extras One of the standout features of Ultrahuman is its 'Ultra Age' and 'Brain Age' metrics. According to the ring, I'm three years younger than my actual age — thank you very much — and that little ego boost alone might be worth the price. It's a fun, science-backed way to look at how your lifestyle choices are stacking up over time. The Oura app lets you snap photos of your meals and track your nutrition manually. While it doesn't offer full-blown macro counting or meal analysis, I found it useful to keep tabs on my general eating patterns. It made me think twice about my portion sizes and timing of meals, especially when reviewing my sleep scores the next day. Ultrahuman, meanwhile, includes a vitamin D tracker — though you need to manually log how long you've been in the sun. As someone who's clinically low in D, I'd love for it to include a built-in sensor to measure sun exposure. Still, it's a nudge I didn't know I needed. The winner (so far) After two months of Ultrahuman and just under one month of Oura, I'm not ready to crown a winner, mostly because I like different things about each. If I had to make a decision based on what's impacted my habits the most, Ultrahuman probably has the edge. It's made me think more intentionally about when I drink caffeine, how consistent my sleep is, and how my circadian rhythm affects my energy and mood. But Oura still wins on sleep tracking accuracy, passive activity detection, and meal logging. I also like the design of the Oura Ring more, and the daily summaries feel a little more digestible and beginner-friendly. Both rings have changed the way I look at my health. I'm going to bed earlier, moving more during the day, and actually thinking about recovery, not just steps and calories. Ultimately, it comes down to what kind of feedback you respond to. Ultrahuman pushes you to optimise. Oura encourages balance. If you want a data-rich, no-subscription experience with a few fun extras (hello, Brain Age), the Ultrahuman Ring is a solid pick.

Smart Ring Maker's Blood Test Service Tracks 100+ Health Stats
Ultrahuman Blood Vision Ultrahuman has launched its blood test-based health tracking service for people in the U.S., following an India launch more than a year ago. It's called Blood Vision, and includes two blood tests, spread out over time in order to capture the trajectory of your biomarkers, rather than just a snapshot. The real selling point of the service, though, is what Ultrahuman calls UltraTrace. All the stats from your bloodwork report end up in Ultrahuman's app, and are then linked to metrics collected by one of Ultrahuman's smart rings. The concept is not too hard to grasp. By linking your biomarkers to stats that relate to your daily behaviours, the whole blood testing process can come across more useful, more actionable. 'Tracking lifestyle biomarkers between two tests allows us establish the relationship between the biomarkers and lifestyle changes. Most people lose track of what to change between two tests, Blood Vision bridges this gap,' says Ultrahuman CEO Mohit Kumar. Like an ever-increasing number of health and fitness platforms, Ultrahuman also uses AI-generated summaries to translate some of these insights into more digestible nuggets of info. 'By combining these markers with Ultrahuman Ring data—tracking sleep, HRV, and movement—athletes gain real-time insights into how lifestyle choices impact their performance,' reads Ultrahuman's blog on Blood Vision. What is Ultrahuman Blood Vision? Absolutely loads of biomarkers are included in the blood test info. They include data points related to kidney and liver function, Thyroid profile, Stress & Ageing Markers and no fewer than 15 stats that relate to heart health. You can check out the lot before you sign up for Blood Vision. More than 100 biomarkers are in the initial test — the exact number varies by gender a little. And the second test features fewer of them, in the ballpark of 60. The price might sting as much as the blood test jab for some, though. Annual prices for the program start at $499, although blood tests booked alone are not cheap to start with. Those in New York will also have to pay significantly more, $799. Blood Vision's required blood tests can either be done at home, then sending the vial off to a phlebotomist for analysis. Or the test can be done at a Quest or Bioreference location. Perhaps surprising, at-home tests come at a slight subscription premium. Ultrahuman suggests the second blood test is performed 3-6 months after the first. And, judging by how Ultrahuman describes this as an annual plan, the idea is you may decide to carry on for multiple years. Ultrahuman is best known for its smart rings, the latest of which is the Ring Air, which costs $349.
