Sleep trackers are a great way to learn how well you're sleeping and what you can do it improve, but they can be pricey. So we're excited to see the Amazfit Helio Smart Ring for $145 at Amazon, knocking $52 off the original price.

Some of the best sleep trackers can indeed come with a steep price tag — our favorite, the Oura Ring, starts at $349. However, the current deal on the Amazfit Helio makes now a great time to snag a sleep tracker for less.

What can this smart ring do?

Just like the its more expensive competitor, the Oura Ring, this smart ring can do a lot. From tracking sleep to monitoring your heart rate, you can expect much of the same features.

But since I'm all about snooze, let's talk about the sleep monitoring. The Amazfit Helio Smart ring tracks the duration of your sleep as well as the different stages, such as light, deep and REM sleep — so you know just what's happening as you kip.

It also monitors your heart rate and oxygen levels, and can even monitor daytime naps, for a full picture of sleep quality.

All of this can be see on the ZEN app that needs to be downloaded separately. You don't need to pay for a subscription, which is nice bonus.
