'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?

ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form .

Prime Day is returning once again. Amazon's signature summer sales event takes place from June 23 through June 26 this year. While several retailers will capitalize on the deals event to inflate prices and make more money, some retailers will actually discount their merchandise. Prime Day is a good chance to take advantage of those purchase-worthy deals floating around on the internet. But you'll need some help finding those, won't you?

I write, test, and review tech products year-round. Lucky for you, I am closely familiar with the products I review -- and I track their prices and discounts 24/7. So when I include something in this roundup, I have either tested it myself or can vouch that it's legit. If you're shopping for a new smartwatch, smart ring, or health tracker this Prime Day, keep this page in mind. We'll be regularly updating it with good deals ahead of and throughout the Prime Day event, which spans four days this year.

Oura's colorful lineup of Gen 4 smart rings -- my tested pick for the best smart ring you can buy right now -- sees a $100 discount, cutting down the price substantially ahead of Prime Day. The Oura Ring 4 Ceramic is not that different from the original Ring 4 lineup, but it's made with zirconia ceramic and comes in cloud (white), midnight (navy), tide (light turquoise), and petal (light pink). The colors are beautiful.
