if the ring was a controler for the watch as well so it was a one hand operation would be a great future idea.

What is the benefit to getting a smart ring in addition too or instead of a smart watch It sounds like a solution looking for a problem to me Change my mind 🤷🏻♂️
@TheErsatzCrab
Ай бұрын
There's really no benefit if you already have a smartwatch. Personally, I prefer to wear non-smart (mechanical or quartz) watches, so a smart ring is appealing to me so I can still have health and fitness tracking without needing a watch.
@headerahelix
Ай бұрын
Benefit: two readings will always be better than one. And redundancy: if you're charging one, you'll have the other available in all likelihood. It's also very easy for the watches to lose skin contact during exercise and sleep, which is an issue the ring solves.

I'd be interested to see how well (or not) it functions with other Android devices. I'm a Pixel user, and am interested in the idea of a smart ring, but I'm not willing to jump to Samsung phone/watch just for this.

From what I heard, it would work on any android phone once you install Samsung Health.
Loved seeing the review! I see that Ultrahuman Ring which has been on the market for a year is a better subscription free alternative given it is compatible with IOS and Android and is priced lower. Can you do a comparison of these with the Galaxy Ring?

No subscription is the real game changer here.

If they can bring the price down it's going to be a game changer for wedding rings, with high tech features and more than 10x cheaper. Who tf wants to spend thousands on a ring that does nothing except to give to their partner, than investing a small fortune on a high tech ring that will do so much more
I'm interested by the AI features. How do they work? Do they work?
fyi the ring itself is not samsung originated product. There is a company called skylabs in South Korea.
Apple will create this in 5 years. Samsung has been leading the way with technology for years now.
What kind of crazy person wears 8 rings at once. I can't take this video seriously.
Finally NO SUBSCRIPTION!!!
Any payment features on the ring, otherwise not worth it for me. Watch and phone can do but ring will be next game changer as far as ability to make payments.
I want this I don't want to wear another display on my wrist but I want health tracking 😭 This ring seems to be the solution but it's toooo expensive
My €20 Mi Band 8 can do more and costs less than 1/20 of the price. It even has a display. The battery even lasts 14 days. More than €100 for the ring is extortionate.
At that price range and being such a niche product, I’m surprised this exists. Maybe it’ll drop in price in the months following like Samsung phones normally do but $400 is quite the ask
@TheErsatzCrab

That's fair. If you own it more than 16 months, though, it'll even out to the same price of the Oura since they have a $6/month subscription.

@@TheErsatzCrab It will be interesting to see if these rings catch on in popularity. When smartwatches first came out, they were very much a solution in search of a problem but the health features have given them great value. So a wearable piece of tech that’s sole purpose is health monitoring makes lots of sense. I do see a friction point being that it has less heath tracking features than a smartwatch (this is partly why I believe the Apple Watches became more popular than Fitbits).

@@jd_carefree I’m aware, but The esthetics is very minimalist, and Samsung is no artisan jeweler. Then again, Apple was able to outsell all the watch brands and it isn’t uncommon for people to wear multiple rings… That being said, for those who don’t already have a smartwatches (the target audience in my opinion) is it’s featureset enough? Anyone with an Oura Ring care to share their experience?

they're charging more for it than if it was made of solid gold ($232.50 for the 3 gram ring)
After some disappointing longevity expectations from expensive and tiny battery powered gadgets (regular Airpods! Airpods Pro, less than 2 years! TWO YEARS!!) i hope manufacturers are more upfront about the useful life of these future inhabitants of landfills and sources of microplastics.
So basically a ring that does absolutely nothing but costs MORE than a watch activity tracker.
Can the Ring track blood pressure? The Samsung live chat said that it could but I've not seen this function mentioned on any of the reviews.
