Samsung Galaxy Ring (9, Titanium Black)

When ordering the ring, I'd say it's a must to get the sizing kit, as the sizes aren't necessarily the same as you would normally use for a conventional ring. I also liked that I could try it out on a few digits to see which felt most comfortable before committing to a specific finger. I found wearing as the images might suggest on your index finger, it ended up getting in the way when I was using my devices, or even my mouse at work, so ended up settling on my middle finger which was a different size to my index, only slightly but the sizing kit helped me make that decision. When the Galaxy Ring arrived it is impressive how small it is, when you think about the tech that is inside it.

I found wearing as the images might suggest on your index finger, it ended up getting in the way when I was using my devices, or even my mouse at work, so ended up settling on my middle finger which was a different size to my index, only slightly but the sizing kit helped me make that decision. When the Galaxy Ring arrived it is impressive how small it is, when you think about the tech that is inside it. And the little carry/charging case it comes with is a great product to use on the go with the ability to hold a charge in the case meaning you don't have to be plugged in to get some juice out of it. It feels great too, really well finished and feel comfortable to wear day in day out. The battery life on it seems to be a winner against your conventional health tracking watch/wearables. Its been going strong for nearly a week now with a charge, although I guess without a screen or any notifications draining its battery it shouldn't be too stressed on the battery front. But charging is simple, just slip it on the dock and away it goes. Plug in the case too and it will charge the case and the ring at the same time. The Galaxy Ring is a great little device to track your health stats if you are not into wearing a fitness watch as a standard. Its small and discreet so not as intrusive as a fitness watch might be, but if you wear a few other rings it might be a little bit on the larger size if you are wearing smaller bands, so might be more noticeable on your person. Overall, I'm impressed and look forward to seeing if they introduce the gesture functionality for some of the other Galaxy devices.

Samsung's entry into the smart ring market has been long awaited and I was thrilled to finally get to try it out.The sizing process for the Galaxy Smart Ring was handled well - a small box with plastic replica rings from sizes 5-13. I tried on a few sizes and on different fingers before settling for the one that fit comfortably both day and night. I did the sizing before ordering my ring, but you can also get a sizing kit as part of your order and they will ship the ring with your chosen size.Unboxing is always fun, and I love the case that the Galaxy Ring comes in. This doubles as a charging cradle and on the go charger for the ring, due to its built in battery. It's still early days with regard to testing battery life, but it is rated for up to 7 days on a full ... MoreSamsung's entry into the smart ring market has been long awaited and I was thrilled to finally get to try it out.The sizing process for the Galaxy Smart Ring was handled well - a small box with plastic replica rings from sizes 5-13.

This doubles as a charging cradle and on the go charger for the ring, due to its built in battery. It's still early days with regard to testing battery life, but it is rated for up to 7 days on a full charge. I'm one day since a full charge showing 87% remaining, so that's within the expected range. The ring is comfortable to wear (helped by choosing the right size before ordering!) and looks quite nice - not too thick or conspicuous, which is what I wanted.The main features are of course the health information that is tracked by the ring - primarily activity, heart rate and sleep. Sleep tracking seems to be quite accurate, although I'll need to track it over a longer period to get some practical insights. Heart rate tracking is displayed in graphs with Min/Max per hour as well as a rolling daily resting average. This is all tied together through an "Energy Score" which takes in all of the tracked metrics and gives suggestions based on this (e.g. "Don't overdo it!" which I received the day after a long run). This also highlights areas that require attention (sleep, recent activity etc).The gesture features (tap index finger and thumb together to take photo or cancel an alarm) are only supported on certain Samsung phones with One UI 6.1.1+, and are fun but not something I've used very often.So far I'm really impressed by the ring and am looking forward to getting some more insights into my current sleep and activity habits. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who likes to track these sorts of things, but perhaps doesn't want to wear a smart watch all of the time.

Where to start... First I'm going to complain about the looks and finish of this ring. For the hefty price tag of $400 this ring looks super cheap it has no shine to it whatsoever like metal doesn't feel like metal looks more like cheap plastic it measures about a quarter of an inch thick which for a ring is pretty thin especially for a male. I would of liked to have Samsung offer a narrow as well as a wider band option. Vs only one size fits all optin.For the price of the ring I'm disappointed in the look and quality of its finish I've seen the silver, gold and I have the black and they all look like cheap plastic to my eyes. On to what it was designed to do. The ring does track sleep snoring heartbeat walking and activities just fine as it supposed to. I'm ... MoreWhere to start...

I'm surprised by how small the ring is that it's built in battery last as long as it does. It's a shame Samsung can't make their watches which are 20 times the size of the ring, last longer than the normal day day and a half on a single charge at 100%.The ring takes over most the responsibilities of activity and sleep tracking when you're wearing your Galaxy watch I myself have the Galaxy watch six classic, and I noticed the battery goes by just as fast when wearing the ring as when I didn't have it so that makes no difference. I do like the look of the watch case which also charges the ring. The case can be charged wirelessly or you can charge it with a USBC cable. So far I've charged the case only once when I received it and I've charged the ring three times with battery still to spare in the case. In my personal opinion of ring feels rushed to market to me, I think Samsung should have spent a little more time developing it especially the looks because it just looks like something you can pick up at Target for $10.I personally can't recommend the ring for its looks but most people won't be buying it for its looks although I would think that would be heavily taking in to consideration, when you're forking over $400 for a so-called smart ring that looks so cheap. If it were me designing the ring I would have made it another 1/8 of an inch wider and tried to shave a 32nd second off the thickness. Which would still have plenty of battery for a week's worth of use, on a single charge.
