Samsung Galaxy Ring vs Oura Ring: First impressions

The next thing Samsung will make is a Samsung Smart Necklace.

I never heard of a smart ring 💍 who said "we we made a smart watch now we need to make a smart ring" why.!!!?? Is there something I don't understand who needs this?

This must be Smegal's precious

You don't have the specs yet you say it's an oura killer ! Click bait 🪤 wishful thinking

The main questions is – is there going to be a subscription like the one Oura forces on their customers

Cool... but what does it actually do?

Hope they make a matte finish.

Can it vibrate in order to notify you about a message or a phone call?

Will it explode and amputate my fingers 😅?

If they don't add a bs subscription service, and lock info behind the subscription, it'll kill the competition.

Xiaomi waiting to add a display on it and BBK's subsidiaries waiting to add 400MP camera😂

Looking forward to this Samsung Galaxy Ring!

What happens when you have sweaty hands.

If Samsung decided to add subcription fee, it will be DOA.

I have no idea what these...or OURA are used for.

I would get it. Depends on the price though.

Looking forward to the Samsung necklace and earrings next.

RingConn is cheaper and no subscription. 😇

Headline : Galaxy Ring found inside a woman's....

Samsung pay ?

I'm so excited for this one 😄

I am an iPhones user, I was super excited to buy this ring when it comes out, but if it only works with Android devices, then I will buy the Oura ring instead..

Oura Ring: Is there nothing Samsung won't shamelessly ripoff. 🤭🤦‍♂

Depends if you can do weightlifting with it 🤔 or how much it costs

I heard that the battery lasts approximately 7 to 9 days from the news.

A lot would depend on Samsung decision to keep Samsung health free of subscriptions, vs Aura, who can keep their dang ring and their subscription. But it looks promising.

Bruh this video was useless. Zero information about the Samsung ring and simply spouting off oura ring stats. The content farming is unreal

You actually can't use Samsung's watch with other android devices.
Yes, you will get notifications and hart rate and steps counter will be synchronised to your mobile devices, but most of other things are available only on Samsung phones.

I don't expect anything different with this ring

Wearing the watch is a bit uncomfortable… the ring solves the puzzle. This is the ultimate 24hrs monitoring device… I like it.

This might be a great substitute for a smartwatch.

I'm very upset that this ring size is only for micro penises. As someone with an above average penis, i need a much larger size to fit on my shaft.
Do better samsung.

I like the idea of the rings, however what I really want is the EU to require all fitness devices to open up their info, and be cross compatible. I want my data, to move it to my choice of app, and to retain it permanently. I want to be able to have my watch/tracker and a ring, and the phone, and my scales and have all that data with me forever to build up a better picture of my health over time and progress. I'm currently using a Fitbit, and some third party smart scales. I don't have any confidence I can keep my data in a format I can move it around and that's not helpful at all. I neither want to be locked in, nor losing data if I transfer ecosystems.

I know, media-wise, the Galaxy watch does way more than my Apple Watch, but as far as health-related stuff, I think the two ecosystems are pretty evenly matched, though IMO the Samsung Health system isn't quite as robust. Firstly because I'm an Apple guy in that ecosystem, but I also know Samsung Health doesn't have medication tracking, which I use throughout the day on the Apple side. I'm not sure what other discrepancies exist on either platform.

That said, I don't see a place for a ring in my daily use. I'm not sure if Apple will follow suit after a couple years, though that has been their M.O.. They're gonna wait and see what works and what doesn't, and then smash the market like they did with the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad, mostly. But, I don't see Apple cutting into Watch sales. I think rings is something, like custom launchers, Apple is just going to let the Android world have for itself, noting, as said, that the Oura product works with their Health app. Maybe even promoting it.

I don't really see any Samsung product "killing" anything it competes with. The Galaxy S24 Ultra looks to be one of the best Android phones of all-time, if not the best, but sales don't reflect that. Apple has the top 7 spots for phones sold here in the US. Like Samsung, they lead not with the premium models, but the cheaper ones, which are good enough for most. But, even iPhone's Pro and Pro Max models dominate even the cheap "free with contract" Android phones, like the base Galaxy S23 and S24 models. I like that Samsung is trying to compete in the premium market, but I'm not sure how viable that will be for them.

I prefer this over wearing a watch at night considering I want to charge my watch at night

What about the ip rating is it waterproof

I don't need one that has health sensors, I just need one th with NFC for payments, opening my car & home locks without the need to carry a phone or wear a watch. I have zero need to constantly monitor my heart rate & vital signs until the last few hours omy life, at which time ill book into a hospital & they can do it with professional equipment.

I got Samsung watch 3 in basically does the same thing.

Of course tech giants like Samsung with multiple income sources can offer health related products to consumers without subscription unlike Oura. Consumers are obviously killing small companies.

Good review, thank you for Sharing

Imagine asking a friend for a charger. "Oh you need to charge your phone? No, I need to charge my ring"

I can't wait until it shocks you every time you look at a pretty woman.

Does the Samsung ring allow you to turn on airplane mode / disable connectivity like Oura?

not interesting. useless

Big Samsung fan here. My choice would be to wait for the Samsung ring for sure.

Apple coming out with a ring too so watch out 😂

Why do people give a sh!T what thry doing in they sleep how narcissistic can we get

I have had an oura ring for 2 years now but the minute samsung drops this ring.. it's a no brainer. I need the black one.

Just get a Garmin Fenix to rule them all.

Cmatrix?

I have an Oura, but the monthly Charge for the Abo keeps me from waering it for 3 months. Ready for Samsung!

I wouldn't mind a Matt Black version and I'm hearing a few companies aren't following Oura with a subscription service... which makes them more cost effective, Samsung aren't usually focused on monthly subs, so fingers crossed.
