I’ve always been curious about smart rings, and when Samsung finally launched the Galaxy Ring, I knew I had to check it out. Smaller than a watch, but packed with powerful health tracking? Here’s what I discovered — and whether it’s actually worth the hype in 2025.
Samsung has entered the smart ring game with a sleek device that tracks your health 24/7. But is the Galaxy Ring really worth it in 2025? Here’s what we found.
Smartwatches beware — there’s a new wearable in town. The Samsung Galaxy Ring, launched in mid-2025, is Samsung’s boldest step yet into the world of invisible health tech. Compact, stylish, and packed with features, this smart ring aims to monitor your health more discreetly than any smartwatch can. But does it live up to the hype?
💍 Design & Comfort
The Galaxy Ring is surprisingly lightweight and sleek. Made from titanium, it comes in several finishes and is designed for 24/7 wear — even while sleeping or showering. Unlike bulky wrist devices, this ring feels natural, almost like it isn’t there.
📊 Health Tracking Features
The ring continuously tracks:
- Heart rate & blood oxygen
- Sleep stages (REM, deep, light)
- Stress and skin temperature
- Daily activity & readiness score
All data syncs with the Samsung Health app, giving you a full breakdown of your wellness. It’s especially useful for people who dislike wearing watches while sleeping but still want accurate sleep insights.
🔋 Battery Life & Charging
The Galaxy Ring offers up to 7 days of battery life — better than most smartwatches. It charges wirelessly in a compact charging case (similar to earbuds), which is a nice bonus for portability.
📱 Integration with Samsung Devices
It works best when paired with a Samsung phone or Galaxy Watch, offering deep ecosystem integration, smart alerts, and automatic health syncing. However, it also works with Android phones more broadly, though iOS compatibility is limited (for now).
❗ Downsides
- No display or haptic feedback
- Limited standalone features (you still need the app)
- A bit pricey compared to competitors (around $299 at launch)
✅ Verdict:
The Samsung Galaxy Ring is not just a gadget — it’s a glimpse into the future of wearable tech. It offers real value for health-conscious users who want constant data without bulky devices. While not perfect, it’s a strong first-generation product that sets a new standard for passive health tracking.
⭐ Rating:
8.5 / 10 – Sleek, smart, and surprisingly powerful. Ideal for minimalists who want maximum health insights.
