The Galaxy Ring keeps you within Samsung's orbit.
Samsung's Galaxy Ring is an accessory to your Galaxy Watch, offering discreet health tracking with a $399 price tag, but best used within Samsung's ecosystem.
Samsung’s Galaxy Ring, priced at $399.99, stands out for being an accessory that complements rather than replaces the Galaxy Watch. While it offers features like sleep, blood oxygen, skin temperature, and heart rate tracking, it is most effective when used with other Samsung devices.
The ring's design is discreet and comfortable, weighing only between 2.3 and 3 grams depending on the size. However, certain features, like making the ring’s LED lights flash using Samsung Find or accessing AI insights for the Energy Score, are available only on specific Samsung phones.
In terms of battery life, the ring lasts about six to seven days on its own and can extend an extra 30% when paired with a Galaxy Watch. However, for those not within the Samsung ecosystem, better value might be found in other smart rings like the Ultrahuman Ring Air. Ultimately, its appeal lies largely with Samsung’s loyal customer base.
