The Samsung Galaxy Ring has been long-anticipated. Samsung is the first major tech company (as in, the really big players) to invest heavily in creating one of the best smart rings, a category previously dominated by start-ups like Oura, Ringconn, and Ultrahuman, and all eyes are on it.
It’s a new form factor for the Korean tech giant and has some benefits and drawbacks. Is a ring better than a watch? Here’s everything you need to know.
It’s obvious right away that the Smartwatches and the Smart rings are made for different things and different audiences. Like most smartwatches has all the bells and whistles.
However, the Smart Ring is a couple of things in one. It’s an inconspicuous piece of jewelry that stuffs some tech under the surface. At under 3 grams, the Samsung Galaxy Ring is designed for 24/7 health monitoring.
Given the size and shape differences, the Galaxy Ring is the better fitness-tracking option if you want something that doesn’t get in the way. The downside is that you must measure your finger, which means no adjustability.
Samsung offers “sizing kits” to help you find the perfect fit. One thing that probably should be noted is that if you gain or lose weight, the ring might not fit properly.
