First Thoughts: Small, Stylish and Secure

The Samsung Galaxy Ring is available in three colours: black, silver, and gold.

When it comes to life-enhancing electronic accessories, we often speak of convenience, functionality, and ease but let me be honest, the Samsung Galaxy Ring goes a step further. From the moment I wore it, it felt like more than just a wellness device – it was an experience.

Thoughtfully designed with sleek titanium the ring is both durable and elegant. It is incredibly lightweight yet still exuding a refined feel. Available in three colourways: black, silver, and gold, it’s a subtle statement piece that blends into any outfit. And with sizes ranging from 5 to 14, the fit feels bespoke and secure on your finger.

In short, whether you are headed to the gym or 9-to-5 corporate job, the Samsung Galaxy Ring doesn’t just work on its own – it works with you.

Testing It Out on the Field

As someone who thrives on movement and endorphins, the Samsung Galaxy Ring easily ticked all the boxes for my fitness lifestyle. From step count to running pace and distance, everything I needed was accurately tracked – without the bulk of a smartwatch. One standout feature? The impressive battery life. With up to seven days of charge, I never once worried about it dying mid-run or during a long day out.

Built for real life, the Ring is 10 ATM water resistant, which means it stays on through everything, be it morning showers, sweaty spin sessions, or a beachside weekend escape. Beneath its minimalist exterior lie three advanced sensors that track heart rate, skin temperature, and movement directly from your finger. It’s a wellness tech that blends form and function, perfectly suited for every person on the go.

As a self-proclaimed night owl, I’ve often found myself tossing and turning into the early hours of the morning, only to wake up groggy and under-rested. That’s why the Sleep Tracker quickly became one of my favourite features of the Samsung Galaxy Ring. More than just a basic log of hours, it offers in-depth analysis of your sleep stages, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and even nighttime movement.

Paired with personalised Sleep Coaching, the Ring doesn’t just tell you how long you slept, it shows you how you slept, and more importantly, how to improve. Whether you’re trying to reclaim your eight hours or simply wake up feeling more refreshed, the Galaxy Ring helps you set meaningful, data-backed sleep goals and gradually build better habits—turning quality sleep into an achievable luxury.

Extra Features: A New Way to Snap Selfies — Be Your Own Cameraman

Have you ever had trouble taking your own #OOTDs? Well, one of the device’s playful features is its double-pinch gesture control. It acts as a remote camera shutter for Samsung phones acting as a a subtle, discreet way to capture that perfect selfie or outfit shot without needing to tap your screen. But what if this is just the beginning? The idea of using intuitive gestures to control your tech opens up an exciting future. Imagine scrolling through playlists, silencing calls, or launching health checks all with a flick of a finger. With Samsung’s legacy of innovation, we wouldn’t be surprised if the Galaxy Ring evolves into something even more interactive and intuitive with time.

At the heart of the Galaxy Ring lies Samsung Health, the powerhouse platform that connects all the dots in your wellness journey. Galaxy AI delivers deeply personalised insights. From your Energy Score (a clever breakdown of physical and mental readiness), to tailored Wellness Tips designed to motivate, guide, and empower.

Add in automatic workout detection and a serene Mindfulness Tracker, and you’ve got a device that doesn’t just inform but transforms.

Last Thoughts: A Definite Life Enhancer

I’ll admit – I was skeptical. As someone who occasionally needs nudging when it comes to wellness, I didn’t expect a piece of titanium wrapped around my finger to shift the way I live. But it did. The Galaxy Ring’s sleek design hides a wealth of data-driven intelligence that left me feeling not just informed, but empowered. Suddenly, every choice felt more intentional because I had the insights to back it up and was able to plan for my next goal.
