In the last year, smart rings have gone from a niche gadget to something people are more open to, albeit slowly, and Samsung’s Galaxy Ring has probably had something to do with that.
While brands like Oura have been pushing this space forward for some time now, Samsung was the first major tech company and household name to enter the smart ring market and help push these nifty wearables mainstream.
The Galaxy Ring is therefore considered a strong first-generation product, praised for packing the sort of sleep, heart-rate and activity insights you’d expect from a smartwatch into a discreet titanium band that basically disappears once it’s on. And the best bit - especially if you’re weighing it against rivals - is that Samsung doesn’t hide the essentials behind a monthly fee.
What's more, right now, it’s 25% off at Amazon ahead of October’s Prime Day. So if you’ve been Ring-curious but the hefty RRP got in your way, now is your time to pounce.
A lightweight, titanium-coated smart ring that tracks sleep, heart rate and daily activity, then syncs cleanly with Galaxy phones for simple, useful insights. It’s water-resistant, designed for all-day wear, and unlike some competitors, its core features aren’t locked behind a subscription.
Why Choose the Galaxy Ring?
There's more than two main reasons why you might want to get your mitts on a Galaxy Ring. First off, the design - as with most smart rings - means there's no screen, no buzzing wrist, nothing else to gawp at when someone WhatsApps you - just a comfortable band that quietly logs the stuff that matters.
Second, is the fee-free model. One of the biggest gripes with certain smart rings is paying every month to unlock the insights you bought the hardware for in the first place. Samsung’s core metrics and guidance arrive without that paywall, so the sale price you see is much closer to the true cost of ownership. Over a year or two, that can add up.
When it comes to day-to-day wear, however, the Galaxy Ring works well by focusing on the essentials, be it sleep quality, heart rate trends, and activity - the kind of baseline health view most people actually use. What's more, it’s water-resistant so showers and sweaty sessions aren’t a worry and it's built from titanium, which keeps it light but sturdy.
Battery life is another perk, as the ring has been designed to get you through multiple days per charge, making it easier to track a full night's of sleep without the "rejuice before bed" dance you have to do with most smartwatches.
If you like the idea of proper health tracking without another screen in your life, and you’d rather avoid a rolling subscription, the Galaxy Ring at 25% off is a no-brainer, if you ask me!
Be warned, though, that prices can shift with size and colour, so if you see the discount live on your preferred option, it’s worth snapping up before the Prime Day rush. I doubt this discount is going to last long.
