If Samsung can convince insurance companies to cover the cost of this for"Medical" reasons , it will fly off the shelf. ( or course you are going to be tracked by EVERYONE!) LOL😜
Your acting like yourube and Facebook don't do the same thing lmao no one actually cares or is "watching" when you go to the grocery store for your weekly box of wine 😂😂😂
A good idea, but a bad idea too. If someone steals your ring, there's no way to lock or unlock it. So people can start paying for stuff with your stolen ring. :(
@@NatalieRath Maybe you would need to unlock it via your phone. Much like a smartwatch, I imagine it will be able to detect when it was removed from a finger. Then perhaps it could auto-lock
Exactly. That's why I am not buying this first iteration. Certainly there would be some bugs. And very limited features. I would probably get version 3. I mean, you never know, but my personal rule is that you never buy any new product before its third iteration.
this is so useful, I can now track daily activity, heart rate, sleep without wearing my smartwatch also I can now wear my other mechanical watches while tracking my activity with the ring
@@jessyreyes You have your phone on a tripod. So you can use your watch as the viewfinder. Now suddenly you don't have to leave the camera view to zoom in.
No NFC feature means we're definitely still in early development. I'd wait for the 2nd gen or 3rd gen version of it and see how much improvements they put into it soon.
Personally, waking up from my alarms is really challenging, so a little vibrating alarm on the ring would wake me up easier for work, school, etc. Would be a good feature.
For me I'd never use, but yes more features the better!! It'll come, first generation, next couple years should have some good upgrades, then it'll be like the folds where it kinda is incremental
@@tRiXMaddy I bought the ring on a pre-order and also have the oura, if the app doesn't work well with the ring I will return the Samsung ring and wait for a better one. I really was hoping it would have blood pressure and EKG
there was a movie i saw as a kid from the mid 2000 from chinese / hong kong cinema where in the future people were using rings in replacement of phones. you’d wear two rings one on a pinky and the other on thumb and you’d make a call one for microphone and the other for speaker. brought it up in conversation earlier this month surprisingly. this tech is getting pretty close
Defo needs NFC payment feature, maybe vibrations for silent notifications and a whole bunch of gestures that work with certain Apps, Air mouse would be cool? All while still keeping it minimal in size.
I'm really looking forward to the ring. I've been waiting for months. The biggest benefit to the ring over the watch to me is I Only where my watch when I'm Going Out and a tracker 24/7. Especially monitoring my sleep very uncomfortable wearing a watch to bed.
I agree. I usually don't want to wear my watch when going to bed and the fact that you have to charge it every other day. With this, I can wear it while i sleep and it can track it for me instead of a bulky watch.
Well, I just pre-ordered it. 400 is a bit much, but. Not having a monthly subscription makes it a little better. Schedule delivery July 24th a day before. My birthday can't wait.
@camtocam46 I pre-ordered mine a few hours ago and total was 440. My first option was the black one but they sold out so I just bought the gold one which i like too
Could you please check the ring in a swimming pool? Will Samsung Health record swimming as the watch do? And I think that the ring is very good for someone like me, who wants to wear legacy watches and does not want to lose Samsung Health features.
To be fair it's not that expensive compared to quality metal jewelry especially when this can actually do more than just be a visual accessory but personally I'd prefer the watch
I am really hoping for the pinch controls that they add music controls to it too like double pinch to pause and play your music and maybe like a triple pinch to skip a song i think that would be really cool and would be a little faster than using your watch to pause a song for a quick conversation
You mention lifting. Do you lift with a ring? I agree about having the UWB feature included. A no brainer for a key type feature. It'll hopefully be on the Galaxy Ring 2.
I'm getting the ring to go asking with the watch 7. I think with having both will do a good thing with keeping your health on track. Can't wait to get the ring and get rid of the oura ring. Don't want to do the subscription with the oura.
As a watch guy I like the idea of having something to keep tracking my fitness and stats while wearing one of my nice analog watches, and I'll pop a smart watch on for gym workouts. Unfortunately it won't work with my Pixel 8 pro. 😶 Garmin SO need to make a ring!
Its kind of cool if you still want to wear a classic watch like a citizen or rolex. But i have a better idea . A band that goes around youe wrist that does everything the ring does plus vibrate for notifications and phone calls and it would fly off the shelf again for people that want to aear traditional watches while still being connected and tracking health
I'm struggling to see how this ring is any better than my cheap Q Ring Ro6. It cost me $16 instead of $399. The tracking software is free and its within 1 or 2 numbers when messuring compared to my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic.
The main appeal for these rings is supposed to be minimalism. I hate wearing either my apple watch or my samsung one when I have a collection of watches I wantto show off when I go out. Also, my gf hates when I go to sleep with the watch to track my sleep since even though its slim, it still gets in the way
IF I got this, it would be because I need to quit wearing my watch at work. I'm an auto tech. I've been wearing a broken galaxy watch 4 for months. But maybe the ring would allow me to wear it without worrying about the screen? Definitely while sleeping since I can't stand wearing my watch at night, and the battery dies overnight even when in sleep mode(assume I wake it up when I move)
Looks like the only one available is the gold one. Whenever I tried to pre-order a silver or black, I did not get either of the sizing options, only with the gold. Since this is a pre-order, I am not sure why? I was able to pre-order the Watch Ultra though but also want a silver Galaxy Ring.
@@ralfiejr34 hopefully they will get back in stock to take advantage of the discount. Again if it's a pre-order why don't they just go ahead and let you order it and basically wait until they're back in stock?
Would be nice when wearing a Samsung watch pinch 2 for unlockingthe watch to pay, instead of pin code on watch! Paying from the ring is unrealistic, it doesn't have room for NFC chip.
RingConn offers $229 a bit more than half price $399. Their case recharges 18-20 times verses Samsung at 1 1/2 times! RingConn syncs with Google Fit as well. Love Samsung, but this just isn't competitive. The leader of Google was in attendance regarding AI. I wonder why Samsung in their partnership with Google wouldn't offer a direct link to Google Fit. It's important to me because I have to go through Fit to send results out to third parties. This would require a third party app to work between Samsung and Fit. As far as accuracy is concerned, I have seen comments of comparisons to chest straps and other devices to compare results. I didn't see that in the presentation this morning from Samsung.
These rings actually cost less than 50 usd but sells for 3x + (150 usd +) So if you also want to start your own white label smart ring business with own app let me know. My company provides white label apps for these rings.
I mean, I can see that this ring is mainly focused on people who want to track their health related data without needing to wear their smartwatch all the time.
I would love to wear a smart ring instead of a smart watch. I would rather spend the Smart watch money on a non-smart watch which I can keep in my collection forever. Smart watches go useless once the OS update cycle ends. I also hope they won't keep launching a new ring version every year.
Nah, I will pass. I have the RingConn and it already has all these features for a lot cheaper. It's also very accurate when I compare it against my Oura Ring.

It fly off the shelves immediately and are just now getting a restock after being sold out for 3 weeks.
Your phone is a GPS tracker, and everyone, including myself, uses it daily, even hourly
Would've been nice to be able to pay with the ring as well ;)
You know what, that's a pretty good idea~
A good idea, but a bad idea too. If someone steals your ring, there's no way to lock or unlock it. So people can start paying for stuff with your stolen ring. :(
@NatalieRath you can unpaired it with your device so no need to worry if someone steals it
@NatalieRath can have it only work near your device. Would be better than having a card on you. Cards don't even need pin codes now a day to use
@@NatalieRath Maybe you would need to unlock it via your phone. Much like a smartwatch, I imagine it will be able to detect when it was removed from a finger. Then perhaps it could auto-lock
No NFC.
They left that out as it will be the headline feature for the ring 2 next year.
💯
Yeahh sadly, guess i gotta wait abit longer
It's the only reason I'm waiting. The charging case's design isn't to my taste, so having it free-standing on a charging pad would be better for me
Exactly. That's why I am not buying this first iteration. Certainly there would be some bugs. And very limited features. I would probably get version 3. I mean, you never know, but my personal rule is that you never buy any new product before its third iteration.
maybe thieves can get money from ur ring from a NFC device, what they have by the stores. Watches u need to go to the app to activate it
Someone better propose to me with this
Best wedding ring ever but maybe not with tracking lolol
this is so useful, I can now track daily activity, heart rate, sleep without wearing my smartwatch also I can now wear my other mechanical watches while tracking my activity with the ring
Only if you don't like accurate data. This thing is horrible and reads heart rate even when not wearing it.
I really hope we get the ability to change media with the pinch feature
Double pinch to snap a photo is really cool.
Kinda pointless. U have to have ur phone pointing at the subject right? So double pinch or pish the button? Lol
@@jessyreyes You have your phone on a tripod. So you can use your watch as the viewfinder. Now suddenly you don't have to leave the camera view to zoom in.
@Peterstarzynskitech all galaxy's already have the wave and take picture feature. Lol not enough differences from oura to really justify it :/
@@jessyreyes no subscription is another advantage over Oura
No NFC feature means we're definitely still in early development. I'd wait for the 2nd gen or 3rd gen version of it and see how much improvements they put into it soon.
Unfortunately, they need enough early adopters to justify continued development

Where's the video on the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 7?!! I can't find it on your channel! Are you sure you uploaded it?
Personally, waking up from my alarms is really challenging, so a little vibrating alarm on the ring would wake me up easier for work, school, etc. Would be a good feature.
You can set it to give you electrocuting 😂
Honestly that's why I'm glad my watch vibrates when my alarms go off 😅
@@TMW_ShadowStarr And I hate wearing any watch. I didnt even wear a watch during the 90s 😂
Nice review Mike
Bro forgot to switch to his burner account 😂😂😂😂😂
One ring to find them all, and in the darkness bind them
If they add two things: payment and vibration notification on call/sms - I would change my iphone to Samsung with this ring instantly.
Next model will have NFC

Look at any other device. They don't get cheaper 😂
@@phokeene9123 my Fitbit band was $50 I'll stick with it until rings come down in cost
Lol. Yes old models tends to get cheaper but you can get one used only

Lol yep same here 😂

can you have it buzz for notifications? I like being able to get messages from my watch without looking at my phone but I miss wearing a normal watch
Now these tech companies wants to put a ring on our fingers. I don’t think I’m that committed 😅😅
No nfc sucks. Being able to pay with a ring would be so convenient
Samsung is working on a pair of briefs that will track your farts
I see them making an "Ultra" version, with a tiny screen on it
You mention lifting. Do you lift with a ring? I agree about having the UWB feature included. A no brainer for a key type feature. It'll hopefully be on the Galaxy Ring 2.
I thought the same... I think there´s a risk of damage the ring, lifting using it
I damaged my wedding ring lifting. Bench pressing 125kg will do
Feeling like Thanos with that ring 😎
No mention of 6.1.1, not being out, is preventing slab models from using hand gestures.
I want the ring for sleep tracking the most. I find the watch too unconfortable when sleeping.
I need the ring so I can play/pause video/music 😊
I'm getting the ring to go asking with the watch 7. I think with having both will do a good thing with keeping your health on track. Can't wait to get the ring and get rid of the oura ring. Don't want to do the subscription with the oura.
Does it matter which finger I am wearing it on?
I work in food manufacturing, so no jewellery is allowed apart from plain wedding ring.

Garmin SO need to make a ring!
I use dex alot, if this can act like a mouse while in dex I might be interested in it.
Will it track sleep if you sleep during the day. Most smart watches I've tried won't and I work overnights.
So like, is there a reason to get a galaxy ring AND a galaxy watch, or is it more of a one or the other thing?
the galaxy watch makes your ring last 30% longer because it has to monitor less stuff. Otherwise maybe a little more accurate?
Waiting the full review bro
Why use your watch for pictures... forward facing camera on the samsung you can raise your hand and it does a 5 second count down.
Does it have GPS to track a run?
Thanks for the review. I'm assuming that there's no subscription requirements as other rings have?
I'm interested
The titanium black ring shows scratches so the titanium silver will be most durable in my opinion
you look like barry kripke from the big bang theory
Does it check blood pressure
Probably not. It is actually kinda difficult to measure. Even smartwatches can't give you an accurate value (my doctor's speech)

This is not a review LOL. But good video I agree

Can you do total calories like active and passive like the Apple Watch ⌚️
Whats a good contacless payment ring in the USA ?
They should change it to Fit Ring since it only tracks health, bpm, fitness, and some other stuffs but cant control presentations
Worth noting that BOTH a Samsung phone, and Samsung Health are mandatory if you want to use the ring.

$400 is a hard pass when a smartwatch does much more.
It's a titanium ring....
Less is more for the people this ring targets.
You can get it for $300 if you do a little work to get the price down

Don't worry the apple one will be along soon for 800 notes lol
You have to have Samsung for this to work they said this in unpacked
Don't worry apple will come in 2 years with their ring and revolutionize the way we wear rings only for $2000 😂
I apologize for the dumb question, but you think this would work on iOS?
Titanium? I'd prefer it was a weaker metal for emergency reasons.
Can we use it with iOS ?
My wife said, if that ring vibrates stonger she might buy me 2. I dont know why as I dont like wearing a ring.
i cant decide black or silver
Price is the deal braker. Huawei gt costs less than this and does a lot more

Not meant for you lil bro
that goes for the ring, and also for this video, the guy just said "you can pinch twice for a pic" 50 times
Not meant for everyone. It's not a necessity, it's not a phone. So it does solve a problem for the people who are looking for specific solution.
It solves the problem of having to wear a smartwatch that's bulkier and needs to be charged every 1.5 days
Wireless power transfer????
Guess who design this
You did?
Can i use the samsung ring with iphone ?
No, Android 11 and up only. No Huawei support either (Need google play services)
So...can you double pinch?
Ya
if the ring was a controler for the watch as well so it was a one hand operation would be a great future idea.
As long as no one has done a real life test and compare with the Oura Ring, any fake review like this doesnt matter.
I wonder whether it can be used for a Tesla's phone-unlock feature the way apple watches can... 🤔
it will be able to detect the moment your heart stops after the pedal of your Tesla sticks to the floor and sends you into a violent accident!

No Go for the price.
Good content, next time maybe clean your nails first or use a hand model.
