The Samsung Galaxy Ring is a solid first swing, but not a homerun
Good for Galaxy users, not so much for everyone else.

I’ve been testing wearables and consumer health tech for years, and the Samsung Galaxy Ring has unexpectedly become one of the most intriguing devices I’ve tested in a very long time.
On one hand, a smart ring from a company as large and well-resourced as Samsung has the potential to elevate the entire landscape. The company’s mixed portfolio also opens the door to unique multi-device integration across its phones, smartwatches, tablets, true wireless earbuds, and much more. On the other hand, my first-hand experience of the Galaxy Ring’s underbaked features and so-so accuracy emphasize that this is very much a first-generation device — and that’s without acknowledging that some of the ring’s most useful features only apply to the Samsung-exclusive user pool.
