Samsung Netherlands announces that the Galaxy Ring, the company's first smart ring, is immediately available in the Netherlands and Belgium. Previously, there was no intention to release the ring here but the company is now backtracking on that.
The Samsung Galaxy Ring is a ring that you wear on your finger, preferably an index finger. The ring contains various sensors to monitor your health 24/7 but is not as obstructive as a smartwatch.
The Galaxy Ring is available in Titanium Black, Titanium Silver and Titanium Gold and has a suggested retail price of 449 euros. Despite its small size, the ring can measure your heart rate, oxygen saturation, sleep quality and stress level. Unlike the Oura Ring, for example, no subscription is required to use all functions.
Galaxy Ring Sizing Kit
The Samsung Galaxy Ring syncs data with the Samsung Health app that you can download for your Android smartphone. As such, the jewelry does not work with an Apple iPhone. Interested parties can order a kit online so you can find the right size.
You will then receive 9 samples of which Samsung recommends wearing the best size for 24 hours. If you like this one then you will then know your size. Ordering your current ring size unseen is not recommended because of the sensors inside. These may cause you to find that another size fits better.
