Samsung Unveils Galaxy Ring – A New Frontier in Wearable Health Tech
Samsung’s Galaxy Ring, first teased at the Galaxy S24 Unpacked event last month, is now officially announced, providing more insights into the features of the highly anticipated wearable.

Designed to cater to a wide range of users, the Galaxy Ring will be available in US ring sizes 5 – 13, with corresponding markings from S to XL on the inside of the ring. Sporting a concave shape that elegantly tapers in the middle, it presents a unique aesthetic compared to the convex look of competitors like the Oura Ring. The Galaxy Ring will be released in three distinct colors – ceramic black, platinum silver, and gold.
What sets the Galaxy Ring apart is its advanced health tracking capabilities. It monitors essential metrics such as heart rate, breathing rate, sleep patterns, and night movement. Notably, the Galaxy Ring can even detect early signs of sleep apnea, offering users valuable insights into their overall well-being.
Samsung positions the Galaxy Ring as an ideal companion to the Galaxy Watch, providing an integrated 24/7 health and activity tracking experience. The wearable calculates a Vitality score based on a combination of daily activity, sleep quality, resting heart rate, and heart rate variability. Users can set personalized well-being goals and receive progress updates through Booster Cards, accessible via the Samsung Health app.
At launch, the Samsung Galaxy Ring will be exclusively compatible with Samsung Galaxy smartphones, with plans to expand its compatibility to more Android devices in the future. As Samsung delves into the realm of smart rings, the Galaxy Ring promises to redefine the wearable health tech landscape, offering users a stylish and functional accessory with cutting-edge health monitoring capabilities. Stay tuned for further details on pricing and availability, slated to be unveiled later this year.
Pokdepinion: Arguably the most anticipated wearable gadget in recent years, I’m quite keen to see how well this performs. It’s less intrusive than a watch and I would much rather use this for sleep tracking than a watch or a wristband as it looks like it will easier to sleep in comparison.
