Act fast if you want to pick up an Oura ring on a steep discount—some of them are available today for just $199. I’m seeing this deal on gen 3 rings in the Heritage shape, and silver or black colors, in all sizes.

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is on now, a mini version of Prime Day that has inspired competing sales at Target and Walmart. Plenty of fitness trackers and smartwatches are among the discounted items. Here are my picks for the best deals, including watches from Apple, Garmin, Fitbit, and Samsung.

How to get back to the home screen of your Garmin watch, quickly pull up a flashlight, use Garmin Share, set a sunset alert, find your phone, and more.

Garmin's Forerunner 265 is a full-featured running watch with physical buttons, recovery metrics, a bright, colorful screen, and even built-in training plans.

I’ve used a lot of fitness wearables, but none have been a constant presence in my life for as long as the Oura ring. I woke up to my first night of collected data on November 3, 2020, and I’ve worn an Oura ring nearly every night since. Here's what I've learned from over 1,500 days worth of data, including my thoughts on the hardware, the app, and on whether it's all been worth it.

The government recently shut down the program that would mail four free COVID tests to anyone who requested them, but a lesser-known program for community groups is still running. If you have a plan to distribute tests for free, you can request them by the hundreds.

Whoop, the screenless watchband-like wearable, has just added a VO2max feature to its app. Now, just like Garmin, Apple Watch, and others, it can put a number on your cardio fitness and tell you how it changes over time.

The newest version of the iconic smart ring is great at tracking sleep, recovery, and monthly cycles. Its exercise tracking still isn't very useful, though, and you'll want to take it off for strength workouts.

For the big Fitbit vs Apple Watch showdown, I’m taking on the “best for most people” from each brand, and putting both through their paces. To be clear, these aren’t two directly competing products—they’re drastically different in appearance, price, and features. But many people get into fitness tracking through one of these products, and “Fitbit or Apple Watch?” is a perennially-asked question.
