Samsung’s Galaxy Ring has only been on the market for a few months, but in that time it’s established itself as one of the best minimalist health-tracking wearables available. Naturally that means it will be among the hottest holiday sale items when Black Friday and Cyber Monday roll around. If you just can’t wait that long, jump on this $40 sale offer from Samsung and combine it with up to $100 in instant trade-in credit to get your own Galaxy Ring for as little as $260.
The Galaxy Ring’s incredible battery life, perfect pairing with Samsung’s Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Phone, and the amazing lightness and comfort of such a small device that can do so much have made it a favorite of reviewers and users alike.
Smaller Than the Oura
The Galaxy Ring is a mere 2.6mm thick and ranges in weight between 2.3 and 3.2 grams depending on the size. (It’s available in US ring sizes 5-13, and Samsung has a sizing guide in case you don’t know your ring size.) It’s thinner than the Oura Ring, and more than a gram lighter, making for greater comfort.
The titanium Galaxy Ring comes in 3 colors — gold, silver, and black — and unless you look at the inside of the ring to see its array of sensors, it looks very much like an ordinary attractive piece of jewelry. But those hidden sensors do an amazing job of tracking your sleep, heart rate, skin temperature, and other health metrics, and can automatically detect when you start a walk or a run.
Advanced Scoring
All of the information gathered by the Galaxy Ring throughout your day’s activities and your night’s sleep are synced to the Samsung Health app, where they’re displayed on an intuitive and easy-to-read health dashboard. Galaxy AI is used to create your personalized Energy Score, informing you of how ready (or not) you are to engage in a workout.
The Galaxy Ring can go up to 7 days without needing to be recharged, and when it does need more juice, the included clear USB-C charging case has a cover that snaps shut to prevent you from knocking the ring off its base and having to root around under your bed or wherever to locate the small device. Just 80 minutes on the charger and your Galaxy Ring is ready for another week of measuring your health.
Samsung has dropped $40 from the $400 price of the Galaxy Ring, and you can trade in your existing health-tracking ring or smartwatch of any brand and earn up to $100 of instant trade-in credit to take the price of this top-notch wearable down as low as $260.
