The article reports that while the Oura Ring is not offering significant discounts during Amazon's October Prime Day event, another smart ring called the RingConn en 2 Air is on sale for $149. Users praise the RingConn for its no-fee app, sleek design, and comfort compared to the Oura Ring, which requires a monthly subscription fee of $6. The article suggests that despite the introduction of the lighter and smaller Oura Ring 5 (starting at $399), the RingConn might be a more cost-effective and comfortable choice for health and wellness tracking.
