This is one of the coolest products I've ever purchased. I don't use smart watches for their smart functionality, but I do like their health tracking abilities. The Galaxy Ring is the perfect compromise, so I can use any watch I want while still tracking my health.
The battery life is phenomenal! It's super convenient to slip on a ring and forget about it for 5 days. Since it lasts so long, I can actually use it to track my sleep without worrying about charging it in the morning. The charging case charges it from around 20% to full nearly twice, which is great considering how long the ring itself lasts.
The ring's design is cool; it's lightweight, small, and relatively unobtrusive (again, considering its battery and abilities). The case is gorgeous too. Sizing was accurate to the kit.
The ring is accurate enough, but it could be better. It claims my blood oxygen drops below 85% at night, which can't be true unless I am dying in my sleep (I am not). The step tracking is also very sensitive, which causes anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand false steps. The heart rate sensor seems to work as it should, the stress tracking is pretty accurate, and the skin temperature sensor also seems accurate.
Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase, even with the inaccuracies in the tracking. If you use this with a Galaxy Watch, it'll probably report more accurate metrics. On its own, though, it's still great for a first-gen product.
Great Experience, I have the Samsung Watch Ultra and the Samsung Z Fold 5 they pair and well very well together. The information from these devices help me to understand where I was with my sleeping habits. Also, steps to improve my sleeping habits, and I honestly feel much better. I’m attempting to get more sleep and becoming more successful and feel much better.
I didn't realize that it's plastic. Gives me cause for concern considering my job as a fireman. I am happy with the overall functionality.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Response from Samsung USBy Social Commerce, December 2, 2024
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Galaxy Ring, John. The Galaxy Ring features a sturdy titanium casing that offers excellent protection and durability. Titanium is lightweight and resilient, making it an ideal material for a Samsung wearable device designed to endure daily wear. To protect the Ring's water resistance, please avoid using heating devices, such as hair dryers, to dry it. Additionally, refrain from exposing the Ring to sudden temperature changes, such as in saunas or steam rooms. Samsung offers a 12-month limited warranty for manufacturer defects. We also provide the option to add additional coverage with Samsung Care+ on eligible devices, which offers extended protection and additional support. This could compromise its water resistance. Once again, we appreciate your feedback. If you have any further questions or concerns, 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
