With the Galaxy Ring, you can monitor your health values for up to seven days at a time. The app provides you with detailed overviews and tips to improve your well-being.
There are various gadgets for monitoring health values. Probably the smallest and most inconspicuous is a smart ring that you put on your finger. We now have the Galaxy Ring from Samsung in our shop. It measures 7 × 2.6 millimetres and weighs 2.3 grams. The Galaxy Ring is available in sizes five to 15 and in the colours black, silver and gold.
Determine the correct size with the test set
For the Galaxy Ring to function properly, the right fit is crucial. According to Samsung, the ring size of the Galaxy Ring may differ from regular rings. That is why we also offer the official Samsung test set, which you can use to determine the optimum fit. The set contains all ring sizes.
Samsung recommends wearing the desired size on your finger for at least 24 hours. If the test ring then fits, you can order the Galaxy Ring in the corresponding size.
Fitness and health tracking
Three sensors are housed in the casing of the Galaxy Ring. The infrared temperature sensor monitors your skin temperature. The ring automatically registers your movements and activities with the acceleration sensor. Your heart rate can be tracked with the pulse sensor. Synchronisation with the Samsung Health app via Bluetooth gives you an overview of the data collected on your smartphone.
The app uses AI to analyse the values. Samsung states that the health and fitness report "gets smarter the more you wear it". This means that the app gets to know you and your values better and better and understands which individual values contribute to your well-being. The app gives you tips, informs you of any abnormalities and sends you an alert if you are not moving enough.
The app can also track your sleep. It uses your night-time skin temperature, your heart rate, your heart rate variability and tracked movements during sleep. For example, an overview shows you your sleep phases and whether and when you snored.
As a woman, you can use the Galaxy Ring to monitor your menstrual cycle. The app uses the temperature sensor to do this. For example, it predicts ovulation and your next period.
Other features
The Galaxy Ring has no display and no vibration motor. However, you can use it to a limited extent to control your Samsung Galaxy smartphone. According to Samsung, you should be able to take a photo and switch off the alarm by tapping your index finger and thumb together twice.
If you take the ring off, the location where the ring was last connected to your Samsung phone will be displayed in "Samsung Find" using "Find my Ring".
According to the manufacturer, the ring's battery should last up to seven days. The small tracker is made of titanium and is water-resistant up to ten ATM, so you can wear it at all times during the battery life without fear of damage. The battery is charged using the charging case supplied.
