I was hesitant at the beginning about getting the Galaxy Ring because of how little features it had, such as limited exercise tracking and the obvious lack of a display. I had just upgraded to the Watch7 from the Watch6 (which, as a side note, has been a welcoming upgrade), so I didn't want to purchase such an expensive first-generation device with comparatively fewer features.However, I really needed something smaller with still just as much daily life tracking, so I ended up buying it. I went with the size 6 (I'm tiny!), and I have to say, I should have got this way earlier!The Ring feels surprisingly comfortable. No more aggravating watch faces getting caught on my pillow during sleep and irritating my skin.

I can freely wash my hands with the Ring on, and it dries very quickly (just be mindful of underneath the Ring). It has been over a month now, and I can vouch that the Ring lasts impressively long. I have reached over a week of battery life with the size 6, with over 15K steps every day, so the Ring is constantly doing work. I do not wear my Watch together with the Ring, and I switch to it only when I work out, as metal weights will surely scratch the Ring (despite how durable it is).This has been a game changer in keeping track of my health metrics! The only thing I cannot do that I use regularly is the body composition, as that requires the Watch's buttons to measure, but that hasn't been much of a cumbersome additional routine to my life (despite what little details it actually provides for my benefit, but that's not the point).I am excited to see what more Samsung has prepared for a hopefully next iteration of the Galaxy Ring!

I ended up with the Titanium Black color, and it’s really beautiful. The fit and finish of the ring is impeccable, and would suitably match almost anyone’s style.The watch comes with a classy, clear charging case that allows you to charge the ring a second time before itself needing a recharge. This case also acts as a way to protect your ring when you’re not wearing it.Features and SoftwareThe Galaxy Ring has 3 sensors:An optical bio-signal sensor that tracks your heart healthA skin temperature sensor that tracks your skin temperature while you sleepAn accelerometer that tracks your walking and running automaticallyThese sensors all work together to provide you with health data that rivals most smartwatches on the market. Sure, you’re not going to get ECG capability with the watch, but most of the features you want from a fitness tracker are all there without the bulk of one.To configure the Galaxy Ring and it’s features, you’ll have to download the Galaxy Wearables app on your phone. In this case, I was using a Samsung Flip 4 and the configuration went well. The ring paired with the app easily and updated itself without any issue.From there you’ll want to set up gestures, although these will not work if you have gestures enabled on another wearable, like a Samsung Watch. The gestures will allow you to do certain functions, like take a picture, by just pinching your fingers. This is a super cool feature and I like it a lot.Of course, all your health data will sync up to your Samsung Health app and will be organized just like before, so that’s a huge plus. You can also wear both a watch and a ring, as they’ll work in unison with one another without any issues.Performance/Battery LifeThe Galaxy Ring's performance so far has been excellent. The heart rate monitor seems accurate, the pedometer is reliable, and the sleep tracker provides enough insights into my sleep patterns that wearing a watch while I sleep doesn’t seem necessary any longer.Battery life has been good, with about 5–6 days before needing a charge. Charging the ring is as easy as placing it back in the docking case, which can charge the unit and let you go up to 14 days without needing a power outlet. This is great for vacations or trips where you might not be near an outlet all the time.Overall ImpressionThe Samsung Galaxy Ring is an incredible piece of tech for those already in the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem and are looking for a watch alternative to take care of health tracking. It’s also hard to recommend with so many cheaper smartwatches that are capable of doing a lot more.If you’re tired of wearing a watch and would rather opt for a more discrete and minimalist ring to monitor your health; then this is one of the best products out there, but only if you already own a Samsung phone.

Where to start... First I'm going to complain about the looks and finish of this ring.

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.

I base my observations on the Galaxy Ring after using it continuously for the past several days. I wear the ring on my ring finger, since even the size 13 ring was too small for my index or middle fingers. Also, I have to use my dominant hand, as I already have a wedding ring on my left hand.This little device does many things well:- Step counting is generally accurate, but hand motion can register “false steps”. (I wonder if this is one of the reasons for Samsung recommending wearing the Ring on the non-dominant hand.)- Heart rate is recorded very reliably.- It will start recording data on my running as soon as I start, and will cease when I have finished.- Recording of sleep cycles appears to be amazingly accurate.- The battery does last 6-7 days. ... MoreI base my observations on the Galaxy Ring after using it continuously for the past several days.

Recharging is very easy with the elegant charging case.There are other things that are not done so well:- Oxygen saturation during sleep may not be particularly reliable. My readings are frequently low at night, but I know by other medical testing that I do not have any sleep disorder.- Granted there is no GPS with this device, but the Samsung Health app does calculate a distance for my running (which is far longer than the actual distance).- All performance data must be viewed in the Samsung Health app, as there obviously is no way to display data on the Ring itself.The Samsung Galaxy Ring is a bit more obtrusive than a standard wedding ring, and although I have gotten used to it, it reminds me that it is there often (again, this might be different if I were to wear it on my left ring finger). I do admit that it is easier to wear than a watch, however.I am happy with the data I get from my exercise sessions regarding steps, cadences, and heart rate. I will probably not wear it continuously, however, because of the way it feels on my hand. I might also use it from time to time at night, to check on the consistency of my sleep. I could readily recommend this device to a friend who understands these limitations and wants a compact fitness monitor.
TLDR:Samsung has introduced a formidable competitor in the smart ring space; one of the great distinguishing features is that there is no subscription required to utilize all the sensor features of the ring. Using an Android phone app (no compatibility with iphones) the user has a multitude of wellness tracker that measures activity, sleep and other health measurements. The app records many useful data points for the user. The app offers up routines, stories and other health related information. Battery charge is touted as lasting a full week to 9 days; it is fully waterproof for use while swimming, hot tubbing and rainy bike riding.Available in silver, black or gold titanium metal and in sizes from 5 -13.

Using an Android phone app (no compatibility with iphones) the user has a multitude of wellness tracker that measures activity, sleep and other health measurements. The app records many useful data points for the user. The app offers up routines, stories and other health related information. Battery charge is touted as lasting a full week to 9 days; it is fully waterproof for use while swimming, hot tubbing and rainy bike riding.Available in silver, black or gold titanium metal and in sizes from 5 -13. Samsung has a ring sizing device that is used first before ordering the actual ring.Samsung’s sizing kit allows the buyer to select the correct size for their intended finger. It is advantageous to use the sizing kit first to avoid having a ring that is too large and prone to being lost or having to return a too small ring which wont fit either the index, middle or ring fingers.I got the titanium black metal version in size 11. It is available in ring sizes five through 13 and weighs about 3 grams. Notably the larger sizes have slightly bigger batteries which might give longer charge life. Samsung supplies a transparent, glowing clear plastic block charging case for recharging the ring when away from an AC outlet, similar to those used for tiny wireless earphones. The charging block uses a supplied USB-C cable that plugs into any USB-C 5 volt charger. The ring charges first and then the block.Titanium is a durable metal and should be resistant to most scratches for regular use.Samsung Health App:A Sleep Score is part of the health app, which grades the quality of nighttime sleep times on factors such as length, restfulness, physical and mental recovery and your sleep cycles.Energy Score is another reported factor. It tries to analyze your prior day activity mixed with sleep indicators to suggest how active a user could expect to be for the current day.It includes a Step Counter which keeps track of all walking and total minutes of walking and approximate calories burned.It includes a Running time tracker.A Workout History will summarize the latest sessions.It shows heart Beats Per Minute as well as the BPM range.It also shows calories burned since we input our age, sex and weight.It has a finding function in that by tapping a app control, the red and green lights (the sensors) inside the ring flash alternately at brightest levels. This is obviouslymore useful if lost indoors than if it is lost outside in the sunshine.When setting up the health app the user needs to tag their 3 favorite exercise activities. I chose Lap Swimming, Weight Machines, and Indoor Biking since I am a regular gym member where those 3 activities are always available. (I would have liked to also include Hiking, Treadmill and Elliptical trainer but only 3 can be chosen. Maybe later updates will allow that)I feel this competitor to Oura is very formidable and will povid eusers a great health advantage if the readings are followed and the user adjusts their sleep, their activity and thor caloric intake to obtain better results there fore improving their health in the process.I expect that as the app is improved, more function could be added using the same sensors in the ring.The app also has a Fitness section which has many videos demonstrating exercise. If a user takes them to heart and participates one can see improvements in personal health.The app also has a Together section where, using your phone number, it allows you to contact other friends to invite them to fitness challenges.
The Samsung Galaxy Ring is a great addition to the Samsung lineup. It has an attractive design, cool health tracking features, and long battery life. As someone who has used several competitor smart rings over the years, I am really excited to see Samsung enter the smart ring space.• Packaging – The ring comes in an appropriately sized box which is easy to open and without excessive packaging. Included is the ring, charging cradle, charging cord, and quick start guide.• Design – The ring comes in 3 different colors: titanium silver, titanium gold, and titanium black.

It has an attractive design, cool health tracking features, and long battery life. As someone who has used several competitor smart rings over the years, I am really excited to see Samsung enter the smart ring space.• Packaging – The ring comes in an appropriately sized box which is easy to open and without excessive packaging. Included is the ring, charging cradle, charging cord, and quick start guide.• Design – The ring comes in 3 different colors: titanium silver, titanium gold, and titanium black. I received the titanium black and it looks fantastic with a matte finish. My only concern is how well the finish will hold up with long-term usage during weightlifting and outdoor activities like hiking/rock climbing. It is only 2.6 mm thick and is quite lightweight, weighing only 2.3 grams. This is very close to the thickness of my wedding band and surprisingly “much” lighter which is pretty amazing given the several sensors and battery that are built into the ring. In the next iteration, I would like to see some online only Samsung exclusive colors like they do with their phones as well as the option to have it engraved.• Charger and battery life – The charging cradle is significantly ahead of the competition. It has a modern premium design with a LED light that lets you know how far along the ring is in its charging cycle. One of my favorite things about the charging cradle is that it can be completely closed over the ring during charging and does not need to be connected to an outlet. This allows for convenient on the go charging where I can put the ring in the charger and throw it in my backpack without having to worry about losing it. It takes about 80 minutes to fully charge the ring with the ring battery reportedly lasting up to 7 days. My ring came fully charged and lasted about 6 days before needing to be put in the charging cradle; although, it still had remaining battery left and likely would have made it close to another day before completely running out of battery. Despite the charging cradle being 361 mAh, it only has enough battery to fully charge the ring one time bringing the total usage time up to 14 days before needing to plug the cradle into an outlet. Overall, for Samsung’s first attempt at a smart ring I am impressed with its battery life.• Fit – Request a ring sizing kit (currently free on the Samsung store website) or be fitted in select stores (my local Best Buy had a full sizing kit available on display). Samsung recommends wearing the device on the index finger for optimal sensor performance and accuracy, but I opted for my ring finger as I found it to be more comfortable. The sizing kit sample ring size matched the size of my wedding band, so I felt confident going ahead and ordering the ring immediately instead of wearing it for the recommended 24 hours. Samsung does specifically state that their sizing differs from regular ring sizes, but I didn’t find that to be the case. When I put on the actual ring, it fits perfectly and is comfortable. It is snug enough to stay on but not too tight that I can’t get it off. It is important to note that the ring has a mark on it for which side should face the palm of your hand for the most accurate sensor readings.• App/Data – The ring easily paired with my Samsung Z Fold 6 and showed up in the Samsung Health/Wearable apps. It tracks various health data and provides daily insights such as energy score, sleep score, and heart rate. This information can be found in the health app. For example, my most recent sleep time average was reported as excellent. If I want additional information regarding this insight I can click on the arrow and it will take me to a new page within the app with more in-depth information. I have had a few erroneous readings like a heart rate of 210 in the middle of the night but overall the data has been consistent with other fitness devices I use.• Subscription – THERE IS NO MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION WHICH IS A HUGE SELLING POINT! While this ring may be slightly more expensive than several of its competitors, there is no ongoing monthly fee to be able to see/access your own data. I would never consider purchasing a ring that required me to pay to access my own data so A+ to Samsung for not locking features behind a paywall.I think Samsung did a great job designing its first smart ring. I have enjoyed using it and find the health information/insights it provides to be beneficial in my fitness and overall health goals. Recommend!
Samsung’s Galaxy Ring is truly a technological marvel!

The device fits in first and foremost as an unassuming and fashionable piece of jewelry to most but its potential health benefits based on the data it provides are tremendous and enlightening in my opinion.• As packaged:• Galaxy Ring• Galaxy Ring Charge Case• USB-C Cable• Quick Start GuideThe Galaxy Ring is available in three distinctive colors depending on your preference: Titanium Silver, Titanium Gold and Titanium Black. Yes, they are all made of Titanium for added durability. The ring design has a slight depression/groove on the outside. There is a raised mark at the “bottom” of the ring to help the user ensure the right orientation for optimal sensor performance. Samsung recommends this mark aligning with the palm of your hand to basically get the sensors to align with the underside of your finger. The interior of the ring appears to have some durable and clear material where the sensors are located, making them visible. The ring is only about 2.6mm thick and 7mm wide. It is available in nine sizes from US 5 to US 13. Please note these sizes do vary from traditional ring sizes and as such the Galaxy Ring Sizing Kit is highly recommended before ordering your ring. With the different ring sizes comes different weights (2.3g – 3.2g.) Per Samsung, ring sizes 5 through 11 last up to 6 days on a single charge while 12 through 13 go up an extra day to 7 days on a single charge. My Titanium Black ring is a size 12 and did last about a week on a single charge with typical use.The Galaxy Ring case is also capable of delivering about 1.6 charges should you be on the go without access to a charger. It is fast charging and I have observed a charge from about 38% to 82% in about 30 minutes. With my setup, I should in theory be able to go for about two and half weeks with a fully charged ring and a case. The case has a USB-C port and ships with a USB-C cable. As an added benefit, it is also capable of wireless charging so should your smartphone be capable of wireless power share, you may have more options to charge your Galaxy Ring on the go. The charging case is clear and shows the Galaxy Ring. When opened with the Galaxy Ring inside, a circular white LED will indicate the charge case and the Galaxy Ring battery levels in that order. Without a ring inside, the charge case will only display its battery level. The Galaxy Ring is also capable of providing a status on its own albeit the user can only be informed if the battery level is below 15% (flashing red) or above 15% (flashing green) upon removal from the finger. You may also use the Galaxy Wearable app to check your Galaxy Ring’s battery level.Even close to the upper weight threshold, my Galaxy Ring is very light. This is very beneficial, in my opinion, to folks like me who typically abstain from jewelry. It is very easy to forget you have it on during the day and especially at night for its sleep tracking abilities. Crammed in the Galaxy Ring are three main sensors: photoplethysmograph (PPG), accelerometer and skin temperature. The Galaxy Ring is able to provide heart rate, blood oxygen levels, measure steps and track skin temperature changes with these sensors. When wearing both a Samsung smartwatch and the Galaxy Ring, the ring will track only heart rate and sleep data. While wearing a Samsung smartwatch, on demand heart rate measurements are also deferred to the smartwatch.The Galaxy Wearable app automatically detects a Galaxy Ring inside the charge case once it is open to initially connect. The button in the charge case can also be pressed to force the ring and case into pairing. Once connected, the menu for the Galaxy Ring is pretty intuitive. There are three main options for your energy score, sleep and heart rate data. In summary, the energy score is a numerical prediction of your outlook for the day based on an assessment of sleeping patterns, previous day activity and sleeping heart rate data. It changes based on variations in the aforementioned factors. The sleep menu provides sleep data such as total sleep time, breakdown of the various sleep stages, blood oxygen, skin temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate and snoring should you have snore detection enabled. The presence of an accelerometer allows steps to be tracked even without your watch or smartphone on you. Period prediction is another available feature. There is a Find my Ring feature to help locate a misplaced ring. The lights can be triggered to blink and its location on a map can also be seen, assuming you are within range. There are options to receive an alert should the ring be left and assign safe places that may not trigger these. The Galaxy Ring communicates via Bluetooth 5.4.The Galaxy Ring’s finish appears durable. I have yet to see any blemishes. I wear mine on my index finger primarily based on Samsung’s recommendation and have become aware of daily activities where the ring comes into contact with things. There are occasional clanks but it is holding up very well. The Galaxy Ring has an IP68 rating for water resistance meaning it can be submerged to a depth of about 1.5 meters (just under 5 feet) for about 30 minutes. Knowing this, I still catch myself trying to protect my ring from water and typically remove for showers but this is a personal preference.This first iteration of the Galaxy Ring is a very magnificent feat. Knowing Samsung’s history, the best is yet to come! It appears promising with regards to hardware and the potential for additional software updates to make it even smarter. It does not rewrite the script and seamlessly integrates into Samsung’s ecosystem in their effort to easily provide vital data. I totally recommend!
First things first…FITMENT. The Galaxy Ring is concave in design and the edges to me feel flat. There might be a slight bevel to it, but that may just be because of it being a polymer material. My wedding band is a Comfort Fit, so that and a Domed Fit are more my style. So I would have preferred one of those designs over the Concave Flat. I’m sure trying to fit the tech inside a very small space is quite tricky so the decrease in the side volume of a dome would make the ring thicker overall?Actually wearing it doesn’t cause discomfort, sizing will be key here. In the documentation I received with the sizing kit, no where did it say it must be worn on the pointer finger, but the illustrations in the guide showed it being worn on the pointer finger.Ultimately I ... MoreFirst things first…FITMENT.

In the documentation I received with the sizing kit, no where did it say it must be worn on the pointer finger, but the illustrations in the guide showed it being worn on the pointer finger.Ultimately I chose to wear it on my left hand in place of my wedding band, as that hasn’t fit in the last 10 years anyway (something no one tells you when you marry at a young age!). Also, the ring size kit only goes up to 13. My pointer fingers on either hand could fit the 13, but a 13.5 would be nicer, however, even in that scenario it feels foreign to have a ring on that finger; at least now that I am no longer a teenager!Both ring fingers for me sized at a 10. The left hand the 10 requires only a minimal shift/rock to slide it off the finger, on the right hand however a 10.5 would have been better as it sticks more. The 11 was just a bit too big for the left hand and the right hand it did fit a bit better than the 10, but then my fingers felt like they were being crushed together (this is where the comfort/dome fit would be better).It only took a couple days to adjust to the band design. It’s summer now, so it will be interesting to see how it fairs in the cooler months when it isn’t so humid.Samsung could have a lot of fun in the advertising and marketing department for this device being used in place of a traditional wedding ring!Does it actually do what it is designed to do? YES!I have worn a Galaxy Smartwatch for quite a few years. I went back to wearing a watch just for the time, but I really wanted the ability to interact with messages and not being accessing my phone all the time. I really like that about a Smartwatch. The step counter and activity logger has been as accurate as my Galaxy Watch 4. There is always a margin of error in these devices. I have been impressed with the sleep tracking. I never wear my watch to bed as it is too bulky and causes my wrist to swell. The ring doesn’t have that effect on my finger and tracks my sleeping hours quite well. If I have laid in bed watching tv, it doesn’t start to count that on the sleep timer, so there is a bit of untruth. And the same if I read in bed in the morning before actually getting up and moving around.Battery LifeAfter 5 full days of use it used 65% battery, so 35% remaining. I didn’t have auto-detect for workouts (running/walking) turned on and I didn’t have Blood Oxygen levels while sleeping turned on. Samsung states the 11 and under sizes get 6 days battery life and the 12/13 get 7 days. With all features turned on I would say that should be pretty accurate. Having the ones I had turned off shows you can squeeze out a few more days of use, so an increase of around 50% of estimated battery life. Charging is supposed to take 80 minutes from 0-100, so I can only assume those to be true as I have not needed to charge it this first week of use, besides unboxing and starting at 100%.I think this device is definitely going to be niche as a watch can do more and because of ring size limitations, but if you are not a watch person and really want to be able to track your activity better there it can definitely provide that.
The Samsung Galaxy ring is a great addition to my health monitoring toolset. I took up an interest in the Galaxy Ring because I do not like wearing my Galaxy Watch 4 while I sleep and it is too difficult anyway because it does not stay charged long enough. My impressions of the Galaxy Ring are pretty good. The battery life seems to last about a week which makes it ideal to wear while sleeping. Speaking of the sleep tracking feature it is very comprehensive. So much so in fact there is a lot of learning and reading involved to truly get a good understanding of all the factors that affect your sleep. The Galaxy Ring records your sleep time and evaluates your Physical recovery by monitoring your sleep cycles like deep sleep and Restfulness factor which tracks how much ... MoreThe Samsung Galaxy ring is a great addition to my health monitoring toolset.

My impressions of the Galaxy Ring are pretty good. The battery life seems to last about a week which makes it ideal to wear while sleeping. Speaking of the sleep tracking feature it is very comprehensive. So much so in fact there is a lot of learning and reading involved to truly get a good understanding of all the factors that affect your sleep. The Galaxy Ring records your sleep time and evaluates your Physical recovery by monitoring your sleep cycles like deep sleep and Restfulness factor which tracks how much of the time you are actually sleeping during the night. Charts with a line graph are included with Awake, Rem Light and Deep to indicate how your night was. Sleep score factors also include Mental recovery and your sleep cycles as well which all factor into the total analysis. Sleep time is also a factor and too much sleep is also not good apparently. There is also a very comprehensive sleep stage chart with a color-coded graph and below that a chart indicating the time you spent in each cycle broken down into percentages for each one. The Galaxy Ring also keeps track of your Blood Oxygen during sleep which is very important and can indicate whether or not you may need to contact a physician and possibly get a sleep study to check for sleep apnea. It also tracks snoring which can also be a symptom of sleep apnea. Two additional items that are tracked while sleeping are Skin temperature and Heart rate. The skin temperature feature can be used by females to to help them time their menstrual cycle. The Heart rate and Respiratory rate are also important factors in getting an overall picture of your health and can indicate issues that may be present. The Galaxy Ring has far more features regarding sleep tracking than my watch and once I get a good understanding of how it all works together to give me a good picture of my situation I believe it will be a very useful tool. TBed/wake time consistency and sleep timing. Your energy score also includes your daily activity level from the previous day. Your Galaxy ring will also measure your heart rate via your phone on demand and at regular intervals throughout the day. However, it only derives the results from this if you are not wearing a Galaxy watch which actually means your watch is not actively connected to your phone. If you are someone that does not like wearing a watch or someone who likes wearing traditional watches but still wants to track your health the Galaxy Ring is a great option and I am very impressed by this first-generation product. You can tell that Samsung put a lot of time and effort into this product it shows by how much detail is given in the tracking parameters. The battery life is very good and the ring is definitely more comfortable to wear than a watch which makes it easy to keep on all of the time. Oh and it is completely waterproof of course because I guess it has to be right. If you are a person interested in an unobtrusive way to monitor a wide array of your health parameters the Galaxy Ring is definitely.
I enjoy having the luxury of wearing automatic timepieces from time to time. Now they just sit in a case somewhere in my closet because I continue to think the value of smart watches and the info they provide, outweigh the standard automatic. I rely on smartwatches for how they are able to tell me what's going on in my own body. Fortunately, I now have a reason to wear those other watches, for now the Samsung Galaxy Ring does it all in a much smaller, and longer lasting package.The Galaxy Ring is far better at concealing its smart features than a watch. It looks like a piece of jewelry and is virtually indistinguishable from a standard ring, especially if you opt for the silver or gold finish.

Fortunately, I now have a reason to wear those other watches, for now the Samsung Galaxy Ring does it all in a much smaller, and longer lasting package.The Galaxy Ring is far better at concealing its smart features than a watch. It looks like a piece of jewelry and is virtually indistinguishable from a standard ring, especially if you opt for the silver or gold finish. Once ordered, I received a sizing kit that came in a Galaxy Ring style case. The sizing rings looked so identical, I thought they'd sent me actual Rings to try on and presumably return the rest, great option to have if you want to feel the way they wear.The Galaxy ring came shortly after and looked like the same plastic rings from the sizing kit, though it's in fact made of titanium which is a lightweight indestructible metal. The battery is located on the back half and the 3 sensors on the front with a line centered on the outside of the ring to let you know whether you have the sensors in the right place on your finger, with the sensors toward the inside of your hand. I managed to get a full week of use before it reached 10% and needed a recharge in the case, which itself holds enough energy for 2 recharges. The case is beautiful in and of itself. It looks like clear faceted crystal, with a ring light on the interior where the ring lies showing power level of the case. The button on the center can either recall the power level or turn on Bluetooth pairing mode.The ring takes a little getting used to if you plan on wearing it on a finger that never held a ring on it. After a couple of days wearing it on my right ring finger, I switched it to the left sitting atop my wedding ring, where it felt much better.I was truly surprised at the level of depth and richness of information the ring is able to capture from 3 tiny sensors, it literally put the watch to shame. I was actually a little worried about how much of that info would be accessible to me not having a Samsung phone. My Moto was allowed full access to all features in the Samsung health app. The app shows an energy score and sleep score with information it gathers from measuring your sleep time consistency, bed/wake time consistency, heart rate and heart rate value. You get a detailed chart of each variable, including skin temp and respiratory rate during sleep. You can grant access to your phone's microphone so it can alert you of when you snore. I don't sleep with my phone at my bedside, so I didn't try that feature. The sleep score details length, quality based on the body's ability of physical and mental recovery, including your overall restfulness. All data is accompanied with line graph displays highlighting the part of focus. The health app is considerably more useful than any other smartwatch app I've tried in the past, including how to help you lose weight, inputting food values, water intake, medication times etc. It even offers workout routines you commit to and carry out during the course of the week.I love the idea of having everything I need unassumingly perched on my finger. Well, almost everything I need; would be nice if there was a way to get notifications on it without looking at my phone. Then it would truly be a smartwatch replacement. If you're planning on getting a smartwatch or other ring to be health conscious, then I would highly suggest the Galaxy Ring if you have an Android phone.
