I live the sleep feature! Happy that I can go without my watch o ce in a while and still get step count. The design is comfortable, wearing on my index finger.
The ring looks nice and it is discreet. You wouldn't know its a smart ring unless you inspection it closer. I mainly got it for use as a step counter that syncs with my phone. It works very well with the galaxy watch and increase the watch battery to the point where I get 3-4 days charge without power save on. It's a good first start to my entry into smart rings.
Still too early to tell. One negative thus far is the black finish is already wearing off on the underside of the ring, which is disappointing. I have had the ring since the launch.
After wearing this ring almost nonstop for the past few weeks, I can honestly say that I absolutely love it. And this is coming from someone who previously owned another brand's smart ring that, admittedly, had a few more features but seemed clunky and outdated compated to the Samsung ring.
A few of my favorite features are: 1. It's so lightweight that I almost forget I'm wearing it and can sometimes not tell the difference if it's on my finger or not. 2. the design is seamless. It looks beautiful (not clunky at all) and could easily be mistaken for a normal gold band (though I am worried about scratches). 3. I love the integration with Samsung Health. I get sooo tired of having to download more apps so this was a huge bonus for me (though it would be nice to have an accompanying widget).
I am absolutely in love with my samsung ring and all of the information that it gives me. It's super light weight and pairs with my phone and watch. It seems very sturdy and hasn't scratched at all so far. I'm really glad I waited for your ring instead of the auroa. 10/10
Update: After more than a week now and switching the ting to my none dominant hand. The accelerometer issue with count all of my hand movements for work per day as steps has resolved. Ibwish id been alerted when i was using the sizing kit that not only is the index finger optimal, but non dominant hand is the best choice. Oh well,I'm not spicy about it at all.
I only have it listed as a 4 (4.5 isn't an option) star because I still wish it took constant spo2 readings throughout the day the same as bpm readings. And there are a few other Health app functions I'd like to see modifed. But that really is more about the app, AI, and how they interface with the ring. (Samsung im open to sharing app interface ideas, you have my e-mail). Otherwise, I'm completely over joyed with having jumped on pre ordering the ring the first moment it loaded in my Samsung app.
(Original post): I love having a ring as a health and activity monitor that's great. Blood oxygen is the bomb... when you sleep, however you can't get it to measure when you're awake or on demand. I was hoping to be able to track it throughout the day too but it's only on the watch. But hey, the accelerometer works... too well. It way over counts, every tiny movement I make with my hands counts as steps. I do a lot of typing, weaving, knitting and I get credit for steps with every stitch, thousands a day when I've spent most of it on my butt. Which makes it useless to me for tracking my health or fitness with such horrible step inaccuracies. I'm so disappointed 😞
