If Samsung can convince insurance companies to cover the cost of this for"Medical" reasons , it will fly off the shelf. ( or course you are going to be tracked by EVERYONE!) LOL😜

Where's the video on the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 7?!! I can't find it on your channel! Are you sure you uploaded it?
Could you please check the ring in a swimming pool? Will Samsung Health record swimming as the watch do? And I think that the ring is very good for someone like me, who wants to wear legacy watches and does not want to lose Samsung Health features.
I dont need one but i really want one
Defo needs NFC payment feature, maybe vibrations for silent notifications and a whole bunch of gestures that work with certain Apps, Air mouse would be cool? All while still keeping it minimal in size.
Personally, waking up from my alarms is really challenging, so a little vibrating alarm on the ring would wake me up easier for work, school, etc. Would be a good feature.

I am really hoping for the pinch controls that they add music controls to it too like double pinch to pause and play your music and maybe like a triple pinch to skip a song i think that would be really cool and would be a little faster than using your watch to pause a song for a quick conversation
You mention lifting. Do you lift with a ring? I agree about having the UWB feature included. A no brainer for a key type feature. It'll hopefully be on the Galaxy Ring 2.

the galaxy watch makes your ring last 30% longer because it has to monitor less stuff. Otherwise maybe a little more accurate?

Its kind of cool if you still want to wear a classic watch like a citizen or rolex. But i have a better idea . A band that goes around youe wrist that does everything the ring does plus vibrate for notifications and phone calls and it would fly off the shelf again for people that want to aear traditional watches while still being connected and tracking health
The titanium black ring shows scratches so the titanium silver will be most durable in my opinion
i cant decide black or silver
Wireless power transfer????
this body monitoring technology can and will be use against you What are the top 5 scenario's
IF I got this, it would be because I need to quit wearing my watch at work. I'm an auto tech. I've been wearing a broken galaxy watch 4 for months. But maybe the ring would allow me to wear it without worrying about the screen? Definitely while sleeping since I can't stand wearing my watch at night, and the battery dies overnight even when in sleep mode(assume I wake it up when I move)
Is it true that you need a Samsung phone to use this ring?
Worth noting that BOTH a Samsung phone, and Samsung Health are mandatory if you want to use the ring.
They should change it to Fit Ring since it only tracks health, bpm, fitness, and some other stuffs but cant control presentations
FPS gamers are about to start snapping so many pictures

Would be nice when wearing a Samsung watch pinch 2 for unlockingthe watch to pay, instead of pin code on watch! Paying from the ring is unrealistic, it doesn't have room for NFC chip.
Will it be comparable with Apple heath?
My wife said, if that ring vibrates stonger she might buy me 2. I dont know why as I dont like wearing a ring.
Titanium? I'd prefer it was a weaker metal for emergency reasons.

the main reason for me… I can wear a mechanical watch and ring :)
RingConn offers $229 a bit more than half price $399. Their case recharges 18-20 times verses Samsung at 1 1/2 times! RingConn syncs with Google Fit as well. Love Samsung, but this just isn't competitive. The leader of Google was in attendance regarding AI. I wonder why Samsung in their partnership with Google wouldn't offer a direct link to Google Fit. It's important to me because I have to go through Fit to send results out to third parties. This would require a third party app to work between Samsung and Fit. As far as accuracy is concerned, I have seen comments of comparisons to chest straps and other devices to compare results. I didn't see that in the presentation this morning from Samsung.

The main appeal for these rings is supposed to be minimalism. I hate wearing either my apple watch or my samsung one when I have a collection of watches I wantto show off when I go out. Also, my gf hates when I go to sleep with the watch to track my sleep since even though its slim, it still gets in the way
if the ring was a controler for the watch as well so it was a one hand operation would be a great future idea.

I would love to wear a smart ring instead of a smart watch. I would rather spend the Smart watch money on a non-smart watch which I can keep in my collection forever. Smart watches go useless once the OS update cycle ends. I also hope they won't keep launching a new ring version every year.
As long as no one has done a real life test and compare with the Oura Ring, any fake review like this doesnt matter.
These rings actually cost less than 50 usd but sells for 3x + (150 usd +) So if you also want to start your own white label smart ring business with own app let me know. My company provides white label apps for these rings.
Good content, next time maybe clean your nails first or use a hand model.
Nah, I will pass. I have the RingConn and it already has all these features for a lot cheaper. It's also very accurate when I compare it against my Oura Ring.
No ability to trade in a phone or watch for credit :(
