The Galaxy Ring, priced at $399 at Samsung, pairs AI-powered health tracking with features that prioritize convenience.

Pre-ordering your Galaxy Ring is simple. You can choose from three different titanium color options, silver, gold and black, and then select your ring size between 5 and 13. If you don't know your size, Samsung recommends ordering its free sizing kit. You'll also be given the option to add Samsung Care+ at $39 for 2 years of coverage. Last but not least, you'll choose your payment option: one time payment, Samsung financing, or 4 installments.
The Samsung Galaxy Ring will monitor your heart rate, predict your cycle and detect exercise when you're moving. According to our review, it's worth noting that unlike a smartwatch where you can review your health data directly on your wrist, the Galaxy Ring relies heavily on access to Samsung Health on your smartphone. Once you pay the price, there are no additional fees to use the Galaxy Ring or any of the Samsung Health features.
Although there are currently no deals on the device and it is priced a bit high, the fact that Samsung Health remains free of charge is a big selling point next to the competition (Oura Ring requires a $5.99/month membership fee in order to access all features).
Overall, we are looking forward to using the device and taking advantage of all its innovative features. If you're in the same boat, we recommend pre-ordering the Samsung Galaxy Ring today.
