While it’s been superseded by the Oura Ring 4, the Oura Ring 3 still holds its own as a standout health tracker. In my review of the best smart rings, I highlighted how its “readiness score” simplifies your activity and recovery by letting you know when to push harder or take a rest day. It also delivers a “sleep score” based on weekly rest patterns. Recent updates have only improved its functionality, enhancing its exercise-tracking capabilities.

Falling the day after Thanksgiving in the US, Black Friday marks the start of the pre-Christmas shopping season. In fact, the first use of “Black Friday” in retail can be traced all the way back to the Fifties, when shops shifted from losses (in the red) to profits (in the black).

In the decades since, what started as a one-day sale has evolved into a four-day event (and, in some cases, a whole month of deals) that’s marked internationally and concludes on what is known as Cyber Monday.

This year, the mammoth sale will kick off on Friday 29 November. Lasting a full four days, the deals will end on Cyber Monday (2 December).
