This ring is comfortable and accurate but is held back by the requirement to pair with a Galaxy AI-enabled phone for full functionality
There are too many screens vying for our attention these days. If it is not your phone, it is your smartwatch or a tablet, vibrating with notifications to let us know exactly what we are missing out on.
The ring will pick up a few metrics. First there is heart rate, which it tracks through the sensors on the inside of the ring’s band. It also tracks skin temperature while you sleep, warning you of potential changes that could mean an impact on your health. The version reviewed here was the matt black titanium finish, but you can get it in gold or silver too. It is thinner than some of the rings I’ve tested, and feels much more comfortable to wear. There were times I forgot I was wearing it, although the black finish makes it stand out.
This ring will work with Android devices, including non-Samsung ones, but it is designed to slot into the Samsung ecosystem, and more specifically, the newer devices. So if you want to get the most out of it, you will need at least a Galaxy smartphone that supports its new Galaxy AI. That is because the wellness tips rely on Galaxy AI to offer up some insights. The more you wear it, the more you get out of it.
Samsung’s ring is aimed at a more generic, everyday health audience. And it has at least one great point in its favour – it doesn’t need any other subscriptions to gain health insights, just that Galaxy smartphone.
