purchased this one as a refurb, there was a battery issue. however, when i got one with a normal battery life (about 4-5 days a charge) it was great. feels super light and sturdy. also looks more like a regular ring than many of the others. i hated to always have my watch to track health stuff but even without my phone near it does a good job of steps and activity. oh, also, only take 1 hour to charge and case holds about 2.5 charges.

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 Guide
The 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!

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. 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.

My goal when buying this ring was to be able to keep track of things that I enjoy knowing (like HR, activity, sleep time), but to not have to always be wearing a big ugly watch to do so, and this ring fits that goal well.
I like this ring quite a bit - it's fairly comfortable, charges pretty quickly (especially when the case stays plugged in, although I know the case holds a charge as well), relatively inconspicuous (vs a watch). It is kind of ugly, though, and thick enough to be irritating while doing some tasks... and sometimes washing hands.
I would recommend this to a friend

I enjoy the ring so far. Battery is outstanding. I'm a samsung user so it works well with my phone. I have a watch as well and all the health information they provide is excellent. Really hope samsung doesn't start charging for monthly use like the other smart ring makers. Ring design is good. It's thinner than other smart rings I looked at. Only small complaint is sizing. Next size up would be to big

I like the Ring better than a smart watch. I prefer wearing a traditional watch and I'm only interested in the health data. I decided to try the Ring and I have been happy. I initially bought it to wear on my ring finger on my right hand. However, I found it uncomfortable there do to it being a bit larger than like a wedding band. I moved it to my index finger on my left hand and it feels great there. The index finger is also suggested finger to use according to Samsung. There are two features I really like better than a smart watch. One, you only need to charge the Ring about once every week. Second, because I can leave it on for days at a time, I get great sleep data. This has really helped me understand some sleep issues I was having and how to get a better sleep.

The Galaxy Ring packs impressive health tracking into a sleek, lightweight design. Sleep, heart rate, and activity data are accurate and easy to access through the app. Battery life is solid, and you barely notice you're wearing it. A stylish, smart upgrade for anyone serious about wellness.

Where to start... First I'm going to complain about the looks and finish of this ring. For the hefty price tag of $400 this ring looks super cheap it has no shine to it whatsoever like metal doesn't feel like metal looks more like cheap plastic it measures about a quarter of an inch thick which for a ring is pretty thin especially for a male. I would of liked to have Samsung offer a narrow as well as a wider band option. Vs only one size fits all optin.
For the price of the ring I'm disappointed in the look and quality of its finish I've seen the silver, gold and I have the black and they all look like cheap plastic to my eyes. On to what it was designed to do. The ring does track sleep snoring heartbeat walking and activities just fine as it supposed to. 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.

Well worth it for me. Being that $399 was beyond my budget; I bought an open box ring for $219 in excellent condition. With tax: $235. I bought it during the Memorial Day sale and received a $100 gift card. That is, I essentially paid $135.
The point being, the ring is absolutely a bargain at $135.
I also own the Galaxy Watch Ultra. Together they flawlessly monitor my heath stats, including: Oxygen, skin temp, heart rate, sleep patterns, and more. The ring is durable and comfortable. It charges fast and stays charged for nearly a week.
If your budget allows $399 may not be unreasonable (for you). If you are on a tight budget, Best Buy has the best deals bar none.

The ring is very lightweight and easy to wear, the finishes have sustained quite a few bumps and have not shown any scratches or sign of wear which is excellent considering it it's a exercise device.
It has an incredible battery life of at least 5 days, and it charges very quickly. I typically put it in its charging case during my 20 minutes getting ready in the morning and that is enough to never have to worry about it dying on me.
A lot of really great features when paired with the Samsung device, highly recommended if you are looking for sleep tracking with no disruptions from a watch it is much more comfortable.

I've been really impressed with the Samsung Ring. Right off the bat, its stylish design stands out – it blends seamlessly as a piece of jewelry rather than looking like a typical bulky tracker. It's also incredibly lightweight; honestly, I forget I'm even wearing it most of the time. Beyond the aesthetics, it's a powerful tool for tracking my health. I get valuable insights into my sleep quality, can monitor my heart rate trends throughout the day, and accurately keep tabs on my steps. It's a fantastic combination of fashion and function for anyone wanting to monitor key health metrics discreetly.

I like the Samsung Ring. I need to remember to check and confirm that is it positioned on my finger properly for the best readings and results. It is extremely lightweight. It does seem to scratch fairly easily. I wish it could do more than just read your biometrics. The hold of a full charge is absolutely amazing. I only charge it once a week and it has never been below 20% remaining. The case is an excellent feature. It will charge the ring as well with not needing to plug it in to an outlet. The case also charges on a wireless phone charger. Another great feature. I would recommend this device. Having a Samsung watch helps the reading of the ring, just a note for users.

I bought this so I can wear while sleeping, way way better than wearing a watch while sleeping, so relaxing and tracks my sleep perfectly. And the battery life is awesome, charging only once in 6 days.

Okay, here's a shorter version of the consumer-style Samsung Galaxy Ring review:
Quick Take on My Galaxy Ring
Got the Samsung Galaxy Ring and barely take it off. It's incredibly light – seriously forget it's there sometimes, even sleeping. Looks good too (got the silver). Just make sure you use their sizing kit first; their sizes are different.
Tracking for sleep and activity seems accurate. The standout feature is the "Energy Score" which helps gauge my daily readiness – pretty handy.

Samsung ring feels really light and doesn't feel cumbersome during daily activities. The diagnostics are very helpful for understanding sleep patterns and personal health. Ring lasts multiple days before needing to be charged. All in all I am very satisified with this product.

My husband loves his ring. The battery lasts a long time, it charges quickly, and it feels like a normal ring. He especially likes the sleep quality tracking and how easy it is to review the reports. Highly recommend for people who dont always want to wear a smart watch but want to track steps and other health data.

I am very happy with my purchase. It seems pretty accurate to me, and works well with my GW5. I planned to wear it on my non-dominant index, but ended up finding it more comfortable on my dominant ring finger, but this works well since they are similar sizes and allows me to change it based on finger size changes. I am not sure how the data would look on its own, but it works well with the watch. I got almost 7 days each of the first few charges, now it is closer to 6 days. I have had it about a month.

Works really well and easy to use the app to see the health stats it tracks. It is nice and light-weight, feels much less bulky than the Oura ring I had before. It stays charged for quite a while and when it has to be charged it charges really fast.
