I really liked the Samsung Ring. I did have to return it though because I have really bad Rheumatoid arthritis and my hands/fingers swell so I could not put it on after I got it. I did not want to get a size that was much larger because the swelling does go away sometime then I would not be able to wear it at all. If this condition was not so bad I definitely would have kept it and continued to use it.
I am probably going to return this. Not because it is a bad product, but because I didn't think through my use case before purchase. It has a week long battery life, great. I can't tell the time with it, boo. I think I what I need is a second watch to switch to, not a ring that can only do half of what the watch can, at twice the cost (albeit that's new ring vs used/refurbished watch).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have had my ring for a couple weeks now and love it. It's so comfortable, has great tracking and isn't bombarding me with a bunch of notifications like my past tracking devices. Battery life is about 7 days and love that Samsung isn't nickle and diming me (like the competition) for tracking in their app. Love it! Highly recommend!
The ring itself is a bit more plastic-like than I expected. For the price point I thought the material would be metal. But the rings function and comfortability meet my expectations.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Ring with us, Molly! We’re glad to hear you’re interested in its features, and we understand your concerns about the materials. We're also excited to hear that the ring's function and comfort meet your expectations. The Galaxy Ring is designed using lightweight yet durable materials, including titanium, to ensure comfort while maintaining strength. While it may feel light, these materials are chosen for their durability and resistance to wear, balancing functionality with comfort. The Galaxy Ring has a robust titanium casing which provides superior levels of protection and durability. Titanium is known for its lightweight and resilient properties, making it an ideal choice for a Samsung wearable device that needs to withstand daily wear and tear. It’s tough enough to handle the everyday, including up to 100m water resistance, and its corrosion-resistant properties ensure that it remains pristine over time, even with frequent exposure to elements like water and sweat. If you have any further concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Samsung Support. -Kelvin smsng.us/Samsung-Support smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger smsng.us/X-Messages smsng.us/Samsung-Community smsng.us/Warranty-Info smsng.us/Samsung-Care-Plus
I love it. At first I got like a reaction but it went away. It monitors my health and my sleep really well. Highly recommended. Very resistant to water, soap, etc. I wear it 24/7. Only charge it once a week for an hour. Great buy.
I love it! I use it for mostly sleep tracking and a few other health features. The battery life is great. I wish it could do just a bit more, like notification alerts, but I understand why it doesn't.
The ring itself is great. Very lightweight but still feel durable. I've been wearing to a month and it shows no signs of wear and I wear it while washing my hands and applying hand sanitizer. I do take it off to shower. I just place it in the charging box while I'm showering. This system works well and I've only had to charge it once outside this for about an hour.
The app leaves a little to be desired. The ring does not know when you fall asleep-- it knows when you get in bed. I bought it mainly to track my sleep but I read in bed every night for about an hour before falling asleep. The ring will think I'm sleeping that whole time and I often wake up to alerts that I slept too long or went to bed too early even though I was up reading.
It also doesn't continuously track heartrate, only every 10 mins. So if you are doing some high intensity short workout, it can sometimes completely miss that.
I was also interested in it for the cycle tracking. I've only had it for about a month, but so far I'm not impressed. It says it uses your temperature to predict ovulation, but it definitely is just counting days. The temperature data is all over the place and I can't see any pattern to it to indicate different phases. Maybe this will level out over a few months, but so far this feature doesn't offer anything I could easily track myself.
I know this sounded a bit negative, but I am happy with the ring and hopeful that Samsung will make updates to the app software in the future!
