The Oura Ring 4 and Samsung Galaxy Ring offer powerful tracking functionality and a stylish look to boot, but which one is the better pick? We break it down.
We’re a society obsessed with numbers and data about our own bodies. Just look at the popularity of fitness trackers for proof. With the advent of smart rings, things have gotten even more impressive. The Oura Ring 4 and the Samsung Galaxy Ring are two of the main contenders in that field — but there are some stark differences between the two gadgets. If you’re having trouble deciding which of them, if either, is worth your investment, we’ve broken down their differences right here.
Both rings are durable, but they aren’t impervious to damage. Neither ring is good to wear while doing physical labor or lifting weights, as it’s easy to scratch the exterior of the ring — or to have it pressed against your finger by a barbell. While they may look sleek, it’s better to only wear them for tracking throughout the day. If you find yourself reaching for a dumbbell or a shovel, take it off.
The Oura Ring 4 brings a lot of strengths to the table. On the hardware side of things, it has double the pathways of the Oura Ring 3, allowing it to more accurately track information like heart rate. It also auto-detects whenever your heart rate rises and will record those periods as individual events, making it easy to track your activities throughout the day. It also has other interesting analytics like “Resilience” that will help you manage stress, as well as pregnancy tips for women.
The Galaxy Ring, on the other hand, only works with Android devices, and only works best with Samsung devices. As impressive as it may be, it has a much more limited scope.Oura Ring 4 vs. Samsung Galaxy Ring: companion apps and updates Both the Oura Ring and the Galaxy Ring sync with other applications to show your data.
