WITH the launch of the Galaxy Ring back in July, Samsung has become the first tech titan to enter the rapidly growing smart ring space.
At Sun Shopping, we’re a big fan of smart rings; they’re not as bulky or in-your-face as a smartwatch, and they’re better for sleep tracking, too .I've been testing an Oura Ring for a couple of months, so I tried the Samsung Galaxy Ring at the same time, which is probably the Galaxy Ring's closest competitor, for a couple of months now, and I was extremely interested to see how Samsung’s smart ring compared.
I even went against Samsung’s advice for a few days and wore it on my dominant hand, and there are still little-to-no signs of wear., which include things like not wearing metal rings on nearby fingers or handling heavy objects, but I was still expecting a couple of nicks here and there. I’m pleased to say I was wrong on that.
Oura takes a grown-up, scientific approach to tracking your sleep, which while insightful, can also be a bit impenetrable. I did occasionally see big differences between my sleep scores on the Oura app and the Samsung Health app, although my average score was similar . However, it’s worth noting that like most smart ring manufacturers Samsung recommends you take off the ring for weight training, so if you’re looking for something you can use for that I’d recommend looking at our
Samsung doesn’t offer this yet, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a similar feature rolled out within a year or two. After all, Oura has a few years on Samsung when it comes to updates.The Samsung Galaxy Ring comes with a handy wireless charging cradle, which is great for when you're on the goFirstly, it has a longer battery life than my Oura Ring, which can go for six days on a full charge, as well as the Ultrahuman Ring, which lasts between four and six days.
I have no issue with the Oura’s black, circular charging port, but it’s objectively not as good as being able to charge your ring on the go. It’s a great feature, especially if you’re a regular traveller.
