Samsung Galaxy Ring launched July 2024 as Samsung's entry into the smart ring category — a titanium ring with a 7-day battery, heart rate, HRV, and skin temperature sensors. At $399.99 with no subscription required, it avoids the monthly fees of Oura Ring. The Energy Score feature synthesises sleep, activity, and heart rate into a daily readiness metric. Available in sizes 5–13 and three titanium finishes. Android-only.
Unlike Oura Ring which requires a $5.99/month membership for full features, the Galaxy Ring's complete feature set is included in the $399.99 purchase price with no recurring fees.
Galaxy Ring pairs with Samsung's Galaxy AI to generate a daily Energy Score combining sleep quality, activity, and heart rate data — plus personalised Wellness Tips in Samsung Health.
Up to 7 days between charges and rated for 100m water resistance — suitable for swimming, showering, and continuous overnight sleep tracking.
Android users — especially those in the Samsung ecosystem — who want a smart ring without a monthly subscription. Integrates tightly with Samsung Health and Galaxy AI for personalised wellness insights and cycle tracking. Not compatible with iPhone.
No — the Galaxy Ring has no subscription fee. You pay $399.99 once and get all features indefinitely through the free Samsung Health app. This is a key advantage over Oura Ring, which requires a $5.99/month membership for most app features.
Galaxy Ring ($399.99, no subscription, Android-only) vs Oura Ring 4 ($349+, $5.99/month membership, iOS + Android). Galaxy Ring wins on total cost over 2 years and has no ongoing fees. Oura has a more mature platform, tracks SpO2 and respiratory rate, and works with iPhone. Choose Galaxy Ring for Android users who want zero ongoing costs; choose Oura for iPhone users or those wanting deeper sensor data.
No — the Galaxy Ring requires the Samsung Health app, which is Android-only. iPhone users cannot use the Galaxy Ring and should consider the Oura Ring 4 instead.
Up to 7 days on a single charge. Smaller ring sizes (5–7) have smaller batteries and shorter battery life than larger sizes (9–13). The ring charges via a compact case included in the box.
Samsung has not officially announced a Galaxy Ring 2. Reports suggest it is in early development and unlikely before 2027. There is no reason to wait — the first-generation Galaxy Ring is a complete, well-supported product.
The Galaxy Ring is available in nine sizes from size 5 to size 13. Samsung ships a free sizing kit so you can find the right fit before your ring arrives.
