Like most fitness<\/span> tracking rings, Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Ring<\/a> has been positioned as a minimalist health wearable for people who don\u2019t want the pings and buzzes of a wrist-worn smartwatch<\/a> or fitness tracker<\/a>. But that\u2019s only part of its appeal. Its real appeal is that it\u2019s a supplemental wearable if you already<\/em> have a Galaxy Watch and a Galaxy phone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When I received my tester, I immediately charged it and added it to Samsung\u2019s Health app, where it joined my Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra<\/a>. You can elect to send battery-intensive tasks to either the watch or the ring to save battery life on one or the other. I delegated heart-rate monitoring to the watch, and after two days, the ring\u2019s battery life was still at 97 percent.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t think of any other devices that work together that seamlessly for such an immediate, quantifiable improvement. I did compare the Ring\u2019s measurements to an Apple Watch Ultra<\/a>, which I will discuss later, but after a few days, I switched back to the Galaxy Watch<\/a>. This is what the ring was made for, so this is the most appropriate testing scenario.<\/p>\n

Box It Out<\/h2>\n

Even from the first unboxing, the Galaxy Ring compared favorably to the Oura Ring<\/a>. It arrives in an awesome clear charging case with a USB-C connector that snaps shut with a cover. I love this cover. You would not believe how often I manage to knock the Oura Ring off its charger when it\u2019s sitting on my desk. You can also check the battery level by putting the ring on the charger. An LED around the perimeter shows the ring\u2019s battery level, unlike the Oura, whose light just shows if the battery is full or not.<\/p>\n
