Ulasan Samsung Galaxy Ring: tetap berada di orbit Samsung

Samsung’s Galaxy Ring may not be considered revolutionary in the world of smart rings, as discreet health tracking has been offered by various smart rings since 2015. Smartwatches are able to track even more than smart rings in most cases. However, the $399.99 Galaxy Ring is still generating excitement as it is a refreshing addition to the smart ring market in the last five years.

The Oura Ring has been the dominant player in the smart ring space, worn by celebrities and gaining attention during the pandemic. Samsung’s entry into the smart ring market with the Galaxy Ring gives legitimacy to this niche wearable, potentially paving the way for Apple and Google to follow suit.

The Galaxy Ring boasts excellent hardware, a long battery life, a slim and lightweight design, and doesn’t require a subscription. However, it is only compatible with Android devices and works best when used with Samsung products. The accuracy of the device is also a mixed bag.

In terms of design, the Galaxy Ring is slim, comfortable, and discreet. It blends seamlessly with any wardrobe and occasion, making it versatile and low-profile. The ring is thinner and more comfortable than other smart rings, with a concave shape that prevents it from protruding into neighboring fingers.

Samsung offers a sizing kit for the Galaxy Ring, which is crucial for ensuring a comfortable fit. The ring itself is lightweight and comes with a charging case that is more secure and portable than other charging docks.

The Galaxy Ring primarily functions as a health tracker, monitoring sleep, blood oxygen levels, skin temperature, heart rate metrics, and activities. It provides daily sleep scores, access to sleep coaching, and an Energy Score to gauge recovery levels. However, advanced health tracking features like FDA-cleared sleep apnea detection and irregular heart rhythm notifications are exclusive to Galaxy Watches.

While the Galaxy Ring performs decently as a sleep tracker, its blood oxygen readings may be inaccurate, especially for side sleepers. Activity tracking is also hit or miss, with discrepancies in step counts and heart rate data during workouts. Autorecording workouts may result in inaccuracies, making manual tracking a more reliable option.

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Ring is a sleek and comfortable smart ring with impressive hardware. While it may not completely revolutionize the smart ring category, it serves as a convenient accessory for health and fitness tracking alongside other gadgets.
