I own both rings. I did my own testing and found my Samsung ring to be on par with my Oura ring 4 after the latest update. If you are in the Samsung eco system the ring and watch talk to each other to give you a bigger picture of your overall health as the tight intergration gives you data over longer periods. [...] Something the other rings cannot give you in my experience using the Galaxy ring with the galaxy watch ultra. [...] In my estimation the Galaxy ring wins for that alone.
[...] Mine broke internally. Not a scratch, or dent on it. [...] And dont buy from Walmart they had it sitting on the shelf for a year and it had no factory waranty when I bought it. [...]
If you combine the Galaxy Ring with the Ultra watch or Watch 7 they work seamlessly together to monitor your health and workouts. [...] Also the ring worn together with the Ultra Watch will save you 30% of your battery life. If you have both the Galaxy Ring and the Galaxy Ultra Watch or Galaxy Watch you can take off your ring for those workouts you mentioned and the watch will continue recording your results seamlessly into the same Samsung Health app the ring records to.

[...] Für mich sieht das nicht nach einem generellen Hard oder Software Problem aus, sondern nach Störungen aufgrund Passgenauigkeit. [...] For me, this does not look like a general hardware or software problem, but rather malfunctions due to accuracy of fit. [...]
I’ve been using the Samsung ring since launch. It was replaced due to a faulty battery so it has the latest build and firmware. The sleep tracking has been consistent and detects naps, although the results are often very optimistic overall. Exercise is a mixed bag, with heart rate readings either on target or up to 40 BPM too high. [...]
Been using the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic since it was released. Today, the pathetic battery life finally got to me. Pre-ordered one of the new Pebble watches and until then, the Galaxy Fit3 and Galaxy Ring (both with much better better lives) will track my sleep and steps.
I'm normally a size 7, but with the Galaxy Ring, I went with the size 8 over the 9. [...]
[...] I had a galaxy ring, but it shit the bed just outside the warranty period. [...] My watch is great, but the battery is starting to go.
Thanks for update. I have experienced battery drain of less than 3hr use after a year (aka soon as warranty expired). [...] Are you still using the ring and if so, an update on this ring would be great. [...]
Haven't even had my ring a year yet and the battery needs to be charged apx. Every 3 day now instead of the original 7 day when I bought it. Hopefully if they make a ring 2 or 3 they'll be able to fix the battery issue.
After over 6 months, I can state that the sleep monitoring is horrible. They say "make sure it fits", "change fingers", etc. First it fits the existing finger and doesn't fit on on the fingers. Result: Very disappointed
The biggest problem I have with any of these smart rings is that the battery is not replaceable so after a year or so when the very small battery has reached a point of just not holding enough charge to make it useful, you have to just through it away and buy another, aside from this being quite expensive it's also more e-waste. Personally I'll stick to a smart watch coz at least you can change the battery and pass it on when you do decide to buy a new one.
Oura user of 3+ years here, I havent tried the Samsung ring, but the oura ring has been very accurate when it comes to detecting when I am sleeping. Havent bumped into the issue where it lagged a few hours behind. Kudos to Oura's algo
[...] Rapidly turned into a big fan of Privacy Display. No longer have to hide my phone when viewing private information Excited to go back to using my Galaxy Ring and Watch Ultra daily. [...]
My oura ring 4’s deep sleep is always double my Polar VS & Sleep2 Also Oura’s deep sleep trend is not the same as Polar’s I have problems with Deep Sleep, only get 40-45m/night (Polar). I dont know how to monitor my deep sleep with Oura
Unfortunately, oura ring is not accurate at all. Idk why it's one of the best in your data but for me it doesn't have a clue what's going, how i feel and so on
I just got this to pair with my smartwatch I feel like having both devices together will give me the best info about my health and body stats there working together now lol
[...] I find it comfortable. I got the black one. [...]
[...] I got the black version. [...]
[...] Im really happy at the fact they utilize the extra space with more battery life. [...] I paid $550 CDN plus warranty
There seems to be a problem with battery life. Mine suddenly just had a big drop in battery life. [...] Have read in reddit that it's not repairable so hopefully i can get a replacement
mine dident last 1 mounth even, got errors like: ring is too hot ( and is not ) and the ring is disconnecting from the phone ...gona send it back to samsung...
I have bought Samsung, oura ring, BKWAT smart ring, but my favorite is BKWAT smart ring🙂
I bought the BKWAT smart ring, which surprised me. It has extraordinary performance and exquisite appearance at one-third of the price. I wore it at night to test my sleep and it was great.
[...] I bought it really just to catch all my steps and sleep. [...]
[...] It helped convince me to but one of these rings. I'm a bit on the high functioning side and one of my quirks is i hate have stuff on my arms/wrists. My brain is constantly telling me hey there's a watch on your wrist, you know theres a watch there right? I've really needed to find something to start tracking my health and seeing as im already in the samsung environment i thought id check the ring out. i think this might be just be subtle enough that after a few days ill forget its even there.
Even the size 13 only fits on my ring finger. I have average hands fingers. They need to make five more sizes.
I have the Oura and I love it. I am grandfathered so I don’t have a monthly charge
I got a rubber case for the ring to help with phyiscal activities. It helps a ton.
Perfect for me. I might have to wear gloves for using weights while strength training, but other than that I mostly run, bike, Zumba. I wear a Fitbit Flex 2 for a health study, a Garmin for my other activities, but would love the ring to track my sleep, etc. I haven't been able to sleep in a watch.
I can barely wear it. I got the sizing kit and the largest won't fit my index ☝🏾. It barely fits my ring finger.
I wear rings while working out, weights, running, MMA and golf too. Never had an issue to be honest so this might be a good alternative to my whoop which gets in the way, especially in Jui Jitsu when people can use it to get a better grip 🤣
I have been using that pinch gesture alot actually. Its kinda neat!😀
Taking off the ring and it’s still showing data as if he had it on is SUPER SUPER bad. Almost a controversy I’d say. It’s almost like AI is just filling in the gaps or something. It’s literally made up data.
[...] That’s across Nokia, Samsung, pre-Lenovo Motorola, post-buyout Motorola, OnePlus, Apple, and even Audiovox. To be fair, though, my Galaxy Ring, Galaxy G3, and Galaxy G5 still all power up if charged. [...]
it's a samsung galaxy ring, which the reviews say is sort of accurate, but you need to take take the results with a big dose of salt. my watch keeps worrying me about my heart rate, so i got the ring to see how it is at night.
My apologies if I missed this, but is there a sleep comparison between the Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Watch 8? For me personally, seems like the Galaxy Ring would be a luxury purchase to only track sleep at night as I already have and use a Galaxy Watch 8 to track sleep.
[...] I used to wear my watch but stopped after like a few weeks cuz I didn't like it while sleeping.
[...] I remain intrigued but feel like the price is still too high for what it does (especially as I already have the watch). I think it would be more compelling to me at the 200-250 range.
With a month of data, was a decent enough chunk done with the galaxy watch ultra? I hear the watch and ring work together to get more accurate information. I wonder if it would end up being closer to something like a whoop strap or if there's really any meaningful change to the accuracy of the data.
In terms of fitness trackers that you can just wear 24/7 with decent battery life I feel like Fitbit has been there for years as some of their devices batteries last quite a few days per charge. Not as big of a fan of them anymore but they do have an impressive battery life
