When I first got it the ring battery was working great. It was lasting 4 to 5 days. Now the battery last the night and is able to track sleep but then I need to charge. Other than that I love it but is very annoying and very over priced for a day accessory. Read more

I have used this product for a significant amount of time and I feel that it's appropriate to review now. I will list my pros and cons of this product. Pros: Battery life Portable charging case Analytics of energy score Its durable, no chips or noticeable scratches Cheaper price point than oura ring Cons: The watch tracks typing as steps. (Don't buy if you work at a computer and don't also have a watch to pair with). If your finger swells, you cannot wear it on said finger you sized it for. The sensor does not stay in the same place overnight, which can effect data from my understanding. Cannot wear while lifting weights. I feel that the oura ring provides more statistics Always shows lower oxygen saturation than my watch overnight. I don't necessarily regret buying this but I wish I had just bought a watch that had a longer battery life as that was my whole reasoning for buying the ring in the first place. I hope someone finds my review helpful. Read more

Before getting a fitness ring, I tried to find detailed reviews from actual users and couldn't so, here's mine. For context, I'm a female, mid-50's, alternate HIIT and strength workouts 5 days a week and walk 2-3 miles everyday at about 3mph. I average 10k steps a day. I can't stand wearing a watch so was very excited about the rings. I ordered the ring sizing kits for both Oura and Galaxy and liked the looks of Galaxy much better. I chose this ring and wore it with my Fitbit watch, which I know is accurate, to test the rings accuracy. Pros: *I went with the Galaxy because it looks much more like an actual ring and I love wearing it *The set up was easy once I realized I had to download both the Galaxy Wearable and the Samsung Health apps *The sleep data is very close for the ring and the watch so I trust the rings data is accurate. *The oxygen level data is very close for both devices so I trust the ring *The heart rate data is the same for both devices so I trust the rings data is accurate *The ring auto tracks walking and running workouts *The app gives you a daily energy score based on sleep and heart rate factors *The ring is waterproof, although I take all my rings off before I shower so I don't get product all over them *The ring is easy to clean with some hand soap, water and a microfiber cloth *The Samsung Health app is pretty straightforward Cons: *The step count isn't accurate. Fitbit always logged about 2k more steps in a day for me -Walk to the bathroom at night logs in at 0 steps -Walk from bed to kitchen upon waking for 90 steps and barely logged any -Mow the lawn (electric push mower) and only logs about 1/3 of the steps -Wash the car and 0 steps while moving around the car -Walk 70 steps-logged 36, walk 20 steps-logged 17, walk 36 steps-logged 0 steps, etc *My noon walk is the exact same every day, yet different steps, mileage and time. Due to the gait differences from day to day, I understand the steps and time differences, but not the mileage *Doesn't auto-detect any other workouts, like HIIT, other than walking or running *Doesn't have HIIT as a workout option to manually log so have to use circuit training *The app sometimes takes a long time to sync with a 'this may take a while' message I had 3 phone calls with Samsung. Two were with the department that determines if the ring is working properly (they determined it is) and the third with the department that handles the Samsung Health app. The step problem hasn't changed, but I admit I didn't call back a fourth time when I was requested to do so because I'm just annoyed with the step count and don't have it in me right now. The app also has the ability to manually track water intake, blood pressure and glucose, food intake and weight. There's also medication reminders and tracking. These are all things that I don't use so aren't included in this review. I'll be keeping the ring because my main interests at my age are the sleep data, heart rate data and energy score. I'll forever be annoyed about the step count, but am hoping it's an app issue that Samsung eventually figures out. I've concluded that short periods of steps never register correctly. It's like the ring needs to wake up before it starts counting or the app just doesn't sync correctly. I thought about returning this ring to see if Oura is better, but I don't like the looks of that ring (it seems bulkier) and I don't want to be stuck paying for an app subscription as long as I have it. And, as stated, I hate wearing watches. There's very little information out there about the Oura that's detailed in its performance so I can't say which is better. I've read the Oura app is a little better so you get what you pay for. I've read that the rings are pretty much the same performance-wise, but again, there's no detailed information that I could find. People prefer the look of the Galaxy over Oura. So, it all comes down to what you want to track and what's important to you. If you don't have issues wearing a watch, I'd stick with that since it seems these rings have a little ways to go until they compare. If you do go with this ring, be sure that syncing with the Samsung Cloud is turned on. That made a difference in tracking. This review is based on that being turned on. Because there aren't any stats on the ring, I don't know if the miscalculated steps are a ring issue or an Samsung Health app issue. Read more

My Three Cents: I recently started using the Samsung Galaxy Ring, and it has exceeded my expectations in both functionality and style. The ring’s smart features, like health monitoring and seamless integration with my other Samsung devices, are incredibly convenient. I ordered a size 9, and while it fits well, I’d suggest opting for a size up if you prefer a slightly looser fit or have wider fingers. This extra space can make wearing the ring more comfortable throughout the day. Overall, it’s a sleek, high-tech accessory that blends well with any outfit while offering valuable health insights.

I wore the Oura Ring for a year and it was great. I switched because the Samsung Health app tracked more data points. After wearing the Galaxy Ring for a week now, there are great qualities and poor qualities. It looks and fits very nice. It's slimmer than the Oura Ring. The battery is great. I wore it for 5 1/2 days before charging it. I could charge it quickly while in my pocket. Because of the case, it doesn't need to be plugged into the wall. The app is decent too. It tracks a lot but it really needs some work. While you can track water, food and blood pressure, tracking workouts is weird. It won't track heart rate for anything other than running or walking. I need to wear my chest strap if I want to track most of my workouts. Or, buy their watch, and I would but I have tattoos that won't let the watch work. The sleep tracking is the worst. If you sit on the couch to read a book before bed, it thinks you're sleeping. Even if you're using your phone. Unlike most other sleep trackers, it won't let you edit your sleep record to adjust this error. This affects your energy score as well because they are tied together. It also insists that the optimal time for me to go to bed is between 11pm and 2am. Even though my sleep period us set to 9pm to 5am. This lowers my score a lot and it should be adjustable. Lastly, the blood o2 sensing is way off. It tells me that every night my o2 levels drop to about 80%. As I am not in the hospital dying, it's safe to say that the reading algorithms are a bit off. So much for AI. I really hope Samsung addresses these issues but I'm not holding my breath. (Even though my o2 levels suggest otherwise) Samsung and reddit forums have been crying about some of these issues for years. Overall, it's decent but needs a lot of work. Read more
