Seems like the ring isn't ready for market yet. But these days companies like to release things that aren't ready and just fix it with a software update later so who knows anymore
I'm so glad you addressed the issues faced by weightlifters potentially interested in the ring. I was interested in the ring, but I don't want to spend money on a fitness tracker that I can't wear when I'm actually exercising.
Yeah rings not that great when weight lifting, if you are lifting with any lifting wraps or lifting straps the watch also becomes useless, Samsung should invest more in integrating more chest straps into their eco system, or just provide better support for ones already on the market like polar or garmin chest straps.
I think a fitness strap would be enough. Not a watch but just a thin strap that has minimalist functionality. There are a few options around and way more practical than a ring
Get a Fitbit Charge, does the same thing, but more accurately, has a smart alarm that vibrates based on your sleep cycle, has payment functionality and you can disable all notifications if they’re bothersome.
Unless you're doing something like circuit training like some sort of Orange Theory-esque routine where it's basically half a cardio workout and not just strength training, none of the fitness trackers really offer much towards lifting. Garmin has the ability to make routines and track sets and rest periods, though it's honestly a bit annoying imo, but ultimately all the watches are really built with cardio tracking in mind and they end up basically just treating lifting by the metrics of what cardio impact did it have on you. Like a 30 min light jog is weighed as a heavier impact with more required recovery time or "body battery" effect than an intense lifting day with heavy squats and lunges that easily makes me feel more depleted than the 30 min jog. In all fairness, I don't really expect much more than that, a watch/ring/whatever can only tell so much about what you're doing. It's a bit silly when you find people complaining that their watch couldn't tell they were doing step back lunges vs squats. I don't really know what they could do to better measure your muscle fatigue and your exertion during lifting without things connected all over you.
So it doubles the steps, doesn't count the stairs, tracks your sleep when u are not in bed and doesn't track sleep when u are sleeping?! Am I getting this wrong, or does it just not work at all and is complete trash?
Speaking of tracking when the device shouldn’t be tracking: as soon as my sleep schedule kicks off my apple watch starts recording sleep but I’m not sleeping at that time. In fact, it knows from my high heart rate that this aint a sleeping heart rate, it still counts it as sleep and sometimes, deep sleep. Not sure how trust the actual sleep data (when i was indeed sleeping), there’s just no way to know how much deep sleep i got. This is from a high end apple watch series 9

That's even dumber, why would the app show the step count from ring and the phone as a total and not a separate figure? Why even purchase the ring at that point if you cant see the readings from it specifically?
So it's not as simple as that. When you have a watch/ring connected, Samsung health uses the step count from that device. If your watch/ring isn't counting steps (let's say it's at your desk) and you're moving around with your phone in your pocket, the steps from your phone are counted. Anytime both devices detect steps, watch/ring is always the one that adds to your step total, not phone

He sure did not gloss over it. He presents comprehensive reviews covering all points. He's not just going to shut the review down because of a major flaw.

Solid review, appreciate you highlighting the issues. Only correction I would suggest is the phone compatibility (pretty massive, in my opinion, how many people won't order this because they believe they can't use it with their phones?) - many people are going to assume you're correct but the ring is compatible with other Android devices (as long as they're on v11 or higher). Some features (Galaxy AI, Health Score, and ring taps) are only for Samsung devices but I will be able to use this with my OnePlus.
I was thinking of buying this, watched the review and as I don't have a Samsung phone, quickly disregarded it and was looking at alternatives. I then thought it was strange that I hadn't noticed this myself when initially researching!
Yes but the normal price PLUS the monthly discription is too expensive for what it can do. So for the simple things the Galaxy Ring is more attractive for its price
@@christianfischer495 I agree with you, it is expensive. All you pay for really is the monthly subscription for the app. With what Marques needs with golf and ultimate, I could see how it would make sense and be interesting for him to review.

Same. I don't do any elaborate sports stuff, though. The cool thing about oura is that it shames you into being more healthy.

The Samsung Ring Is Supposed To Be Used With A Samsung Watch If You Want Accurate Fitness Scores, A Apple Watch And Samsung Ring Don't Work Together But A Samsung Watch Does Work With The Samsung Ring
If you combine the Galaxy Ring with the Ultra watch or Watch 7 they work seamlessly together to monitor your health and workouts. Not the Apple watch. Also the ring worn together with the Ultra Watch will save you 30% of your battery life. If you have both the Galaxy Ring and the Galaxy Ultra Watch or Galaxy Watch you can take off your ring for those workouts you mentioned and the watch will continue recording your results seamlessly into the same Samsung Health app the ring records to. The same applies for the sleep data. You can take off the watch when you go to bed and the ring will monitor your sleep metrics. I personally hate wearing a watch to bed so this combination is what I am most excited about. It's obvious they are pushing the Samsung eco system which for me is fine. You can also use the ring with Android phones (Android 11 and newer). You will just not get the energy score and using gestures you would get with a Galaxy phone. I hope this helps those who are trying to decide whether or not to purchase one.
9:55 instead of having a tiny speaker in the ring, they could instead use the speakers in the phone. The phone could turn into a metal detector for the ring, so it would start beeping faster as it gets closer to the ring.
The ring is meh.. there’s absolutely no point if it’s not accurate.. a week long battery life is only good if it’s actually useful lol.. no screen, no notifications, non accurate info.. should’ve been approved first.. they don’t need the public for funding and beta testing but that’s what they’re gonna do 😂
I agree, i get that some people may like this more if they want more simplicity. But it’s kinda expensive compared to a smart watch which has a lot more features
@@AndreVictorGoncalvesand if apple does make it, which they will, it wouldn't be inaccurate. Check the outstanding accuracy of Apple Watch for example. Samsung simply rushed it to be the first. That's an undeniable fact.
@@AndreVictorGoncalves i give credit where is due, if Apples were more accurate, had notifications then yea but in this state no, I’m Not biased when it comes to this..
In terms of fitness trackers that you can just wear 24/7 with decent battery life I feel like Fitbit has been there for years as some of their devices batteries last quite a few days per charge. Not as big of a fan of them anymore but they do have an impressive battery life
From what I've seen Huawei fitness watches also have great battery life (multiple days) and are very accurate. I have an Amazfit with 7 days of battery with always-on enabled but it's not accurate enough.
I bought a charge 2 2nd hand and used that for 3 years, currently wearing my inspire 3 for 2years now no problems. The only time I take it off is when I shower to charge it. Perhaps you just got unlucky with yours? (Or perhaps I just got lucky?)@@crashed6510
@@TheFPSPower check out quantified scientist. Most of these bands have rubbish accuracy, especially for sleep. Unfortunately the apple watches seem to be best.
If I had to be honest, that intro is the BEST they put this year. Also the ring idea is not for me cause I'm not a ring guy I prefer a smartwatch tho I make it more simple
love the intro treatmenttt !!! kudos to the team behinddddd it all !!! cheersss !! :) Just a thought, would be great to share behind the scene how the intros are made ! hahahah
I'm a watch guy... I don't like to wear smart watch even when exercising or playing sports.. I want an alternative and ring is the best that comes to mind but I don't know how long I've to wait before it becomes good enough for a student to invest in
Although Apple may not release a ring, the way you were pointing with your finger made me think it could be a great "cursor guide" for the Apple Vision Pro & similar cheaper devices. I think the ring will make AR/VR gestures more accurate & have less latency. I also was hoping for a direct comparison with Oura.
An important aspect that you didn't mention: When paired with a watch, the watch and ring talk to each other directly to get an even more accurate reading. I believe that a Ring + watch combo would give you the most accurate readings of any smart wearable.
I think this 8sleep ad was the first time I started paying more attention during the ad read. Honestly good insight, I get uncomfortably sweaty at night
One major advantage of the ring is that, if you are a watch enthusiast, you can wear your watch collection and still have a tracker on! But I am happy with my Oura, I don't feel like Samsung really gave me any reason to switch.
Taking off the ring and it’s still showing data as if he had it on is SUPER SUPER bad. Almost a controversy I’d say. It’s almost like AI is just filling in the gaps or something. It’s literally made up data.
So the motion for photos isn't very common in the US but almost every other country I travel too will use the hand motion on their android phone to take selfies. Most recently during my LATAM exploration trip almost all people were doing it instead of selfie sticks. Just goes to show how quickly things change once you leave the US.
9:03 you can actually pair it with *any* Android Phone, which they also say on their website. The only requirement is Android 11 and above to work. This may be one of the biggest issue for potential buyers, so please correct this 🙏 Great review otherwise tho ❤
I dont think its samsungs responsibility, I'm sure there would be issues when pairing this with an iPhone or Pixel and it would require them to develop an app for the Google Play Store for other Androids. As opposed to you just pairing it with your Samsung and it automatically working. They have taken the Apple approach to this, unfortunately.
Someone really needs to go in depth on how accurate these fitness trackers actually are. For all we know they could just be spitting out random data that isn't even correct... Like seriously, the margin between the apple watch and the ring regarding health data is extremely concerning... not just for the galaxy ring but for all fitness trackers period. I just want someone to expose that non of these "trackers" actually track anything.
Probably been said. But you need to try the ring on in different temps and times of day to decide what works for you. Hands are different sizes depending on how hydrated you are or what your vascular system is doing 😊
Perfect for me. I might have to wear gloves for using weights while strength training, but other than that I mostly run, bike, Zumba. I wear a Fitbit Flex 2 for a health study, a Garmin for my other activities, but would love the ring to track my sleep, etc. I haven't been able to sleep in a watch.
$10 000 says he's gonna absolutely love the "IRing" or the Apple Ring should they decide to release it... To those new, American tech reviewers get paid to make the public doubt android tech in favour of the Apple, their "American" tech company... Pay attention 💔
My biggest worry is that Samsung will secretly create a Master Ring to rule all the other rings, thus, being in control of all lesser ring bearers.
Man that would be a great plot for like a fantasy movie.

Yeah rings not that great when weight lifting, if you are lifting with any lifting wraps or lifting straps the watch also becomes useless, Samsung should invest more in integrating more chest straps into their eco system, or just provide better support for ones already on the market like polar or garmin chest straps.
Yeah it wasn't something I had thought about. Kinda defeats the purpose lol
I think a fitness strap would be enough. Not a watch but just a thin strap that has minimalist functionality. There are a few options around and way more practical than a ring
Get a Fitbit Charge, does the same thing, but more accurately, has a smart alarm that vibrates based on your sleep cycle, has payment functionality and you can disable all notifications if they’re bothersome.
Unless you're doing something like circuit training like some sort of Orange Theory-esque routine where it's basically half a cardio workout and not just strength training, none of the fitness trackers really offer much towards lifting. Garmin has the ability to make routines and track sets and rest periods, though it's honestly a bit annoying imo, but ultimately all the watches are really built with cardio tracking in mind and they end up basically just treating lifting by the metrics of what cardio impact did it have on you. Like a 30 min light jog is weighed as a heavier impact with more required recovery time or "body battery" effect than an intense lifting day with heavy squats and lunges that easily makes me feel more depleted than the 30 min jog.

The Samsung Ring Is Supposed To Be Used With A Samsung Watch If You Want Accurate Fitness Scores, A Apple Watch And Samsung Ring Don't Work Together But A Samsung Watch Does Work With The Samsung Ring
@@ricianobommel4298 why have the ring and the watch if both are doing the same thing? tracking the same data etc...
@@cosmicreaverkassadin1143 Yeah, marriage is pretty cringe.
Marques always coming through with the good insights.
6:23 Brrrrroooooo !!!! All the Ad making companies make a note on this 😂😂
Insane intro! Visuals and music!
When you said at 8:12 that you’d like the idea of a screenless, no vibrating, fitness tracker. I think you’d like the whoop! Worth looking at
Replying so this gets seen. Looks pretty cool from looking briefly at Google Image's result
@@Joe_tait Love the WHOOP 4.0!
Except for the $30/month subscription - ummm, no
came here to say exactly this
@@ds6224 £20 in uk, idk what it is in USD. But if you’d pay for Spotify, Netflix, disney plus, etc, I don’t see why you wouldn’t pay for whoop
If you combine the Galaxy Ring with the Ultra watch or Watch 7 they work seamlessly together to monitor your health and workouts. Not the Apple watch. Also the ring worn together with the Ultra Watch will save you 30% of your battery life. If you have both the Galaxy Ring and the Galaxy Ultra Watch or Galaxy Watch you can take off your ring for those workouts you mentioned and the watch will continue recording your results seamlessly into the same Samsung Health app the ring records to. The same applies for the sleep data. You can take off the watch when you go to bed and the ring will monitor your sleep metrics. I personally hate wearing a watch to bed so this combination is what I am most excited about. It's obvious they are pushing the Samsung eco system which for me is fine. You can also use the ring with Android phones (Android 11 and newer). You will just not get the energy score and using gestures you would get with a Galaxy phone. I hope this helps those who are trying to decide whether or not to purchase one.
That's a ton of money to spend on wearables
@@griffin8062 No question. But, on the pre order you can the $649 watch for $260 and the $399 ring for $330.
why would i need to spend 1000$ in a ring and a watch
@BattaCham You don't. It is always your choice. BTW, with the pre-order, it cost $560 for both. Not $1000.
@@sbrodchet21 400 si the watch and 400 is the ring so 800
That might be the best review I’ve ever seen on RUclips. No fluff, just an honest fair review. Well done sir.
Got damn spit on it before u ride it
9:55 instead of having a tiny speaker in the ring, they could instead use the speakers in the phone. The phone could turn into a metal detector for the ring, so it would start beeping faster as it gets closer to the ring.
The ring is meh.. there’s absolutely no point if it’s not accurate.. a week long battery life is only good if it’s actually useful lol.. no screen, no notifications, non accurate info.. should’ve been approved first.. they don’t need the public for funding and beta testing but that’s what they’re gonna do 😂
You would be screaming innovation if Apple made one
@@AndreVictorGoncalvesdoes it change the fact that this one isn’t good?
I agree, i get that some people may like this more if they want more simplicity. But it’s kinda expensive compared to a smart watch which has a lot more features
@@AndreVictorGoncalvesand if apple does make it, which they will, it wouldn't be inaccurate. Check the outstanding accuracy of Apple Watch for example.
Samsung simply rushed it to be the first. That's an undeniable fact.
@@AndreVictorGoncalves i give credit where is due, if Apples were more accurate, had notifications then yea but in this state no, I’m
Not biased when it comes to this..
In terms of fitness trackers that you can just wear 24/7 with decent battery life I feel like Fitbit has been there for years as some of their devices batteries last quite a few days per charge. Not as big of a fan of them anymore but they do have an impressive battery life
Yeah I'd love my fitbits if they lasted me more than a year and a half
@@crashed6510 lmao, precisely
From what I've seen Huawei fitness watches also have great battery life (multiple days) and are very accurate. I have an Amazfit with 7 days of battery with always-on enabled but it's not accurate enough.
I bought a charge 2 2nd hand and used that for 3 years, currently wearing my inspire 3 for 2years now no problems. The only time I take it off is when I shower to charge it. Perhaps you just got unlucky with yours? (Or perhaps I just got lucky?)@@crashed6510
@@TheFPSPower check out quantified scientist. Most of these bands have rubbish accuracy, especially for sleep. Unfortunately the apple watches seem to be best.
If I had to be honest, that intro is the BEST they put this year. Also the ring idea is not for me cause I'm not a ring guy I prefer a smartwatch tho I make it more simple
I heard that samsung is releasing their new Smart Plant Pot and Smart Cheese Grater in a few weeks as well.
I feel like I really take advantage of how high quality these videos are. literally incredible editing!
I love your content man, keep up the good work!
love the intro treatmenttt !!! kudos to the team behinddddd it all !!! cheersss !! :) Just a thought, would be great to share behind the scene how the intros are made ! hahahah
They already do it on the studio channel
What i really want from a "smart ring" is to get notification buzzes and have a speaker and microphone so i can respond to calls
I'm a watch guy... I don't like to wear smart watch even when exercising or playing sports.. I want an alternative and ring is the best that comes to mind but I don't know how long I've to wait before it becomes good enough for a student to invest in
1:00 : That's what she said
lol
Although Apple may not release a ring, the way you were pointing with your finger made me think it could be a great "cursor guide" for the Apple Vision Pro & similar cheaper devices. I think the ring will make AR/VR gestures more accurate & have less latency.
I also was hoping for a direct comparison with Oura.
An important aspect that you didn't mention: When paired with a watch, the watch and ring talk to each other directly to get an even more accurate reading. I believe that a Ring + watch combo would give you the most accurate readings of any smart wearable.
I really appreciate when the in video ad matches the topic of the review
Loooove the intro. Great work, team
Thanks for your perspective on this one!
0:27 haven't even started watching the video but I can't stop watching that intro
I love your honesty man ❤❤
Any chance I can play the song “Dupe - Kontrolla” thru that ? 😮😮
You had fun with that intro, love it!
Once Apple launches a smart ring he will be like ohh my its magical..... MKBHD has become just an iSheep
No Apple will actually test it properly or won’t even release such a product that doesn’t work properly
Too bad you can’t use this without a Samsung phone, it had so much potential
Womp womp
Wow Samsung becoming just like Apple so stupid
Thought it was for androids only but Samsung hokes only💀
They think they’re Apple lol
No they don't. @RichieLanderos
Lol why would you even consider buying it if you're not samsung? This is such a tired take.
I love your videos, especially your tech reviews! You make things so easy and yet reasonable to understand! KEEP IT UP!
I think this 8sleep ad was the first time I started paying more attention during the ad read. Honestly good insight, I get uncomfortably sweaty at night
for REAL, first time ever I'm actaully interested in an ad and might buy something from it, I'll definitely look into it
Try eating no meat at night after 5pm. Helped me a lot. Heard this tip from andrew hubermans podcast
One major advantage of the ring is that, if you are a watch enthusiast, you can wear your watch collection and still have a tracker on! But I am happy with my Oura, I don't feel like Samsung really gave me any reason to switch.
😂 6:54 needing a smart mattress is just wild…our ancestors must be disappointed how we fell off as humanity
Taking off the ring and it’s still showing data as if he had it on is SUPER SUPER bad. Almost a controversy I’d say. It’s almost like AI is just filling in the gaps or something. It’s literally made up data.
Love the video great as always keep it up 👍
So the motion for photos isn't very common in the US but almost every other country I travel too will use the hand motion on their android phone to take selfies. Most recently during my LATAM exploration trip almost all people were doing it instead of selfie sticks. Just goes to show how quickly things change once you leave the US.
Loving the creativity in the intro!
9:03 you can actually pair it with *any* Android Phone, which they also say on their website. The only requirement is Android 11 and above to work.
This may be one of the biggest issue for potential buyers, so please correct this 🙏
Great review otherwise tho ❤
Samsung really needs to fix that compatibility issue. Most people don't have Galaxy phones!
Samsung would prefer most people do.
Hi I know u
I dont think its samsungs responsibility, I'm sure there would be issues when pairing this with an iPhone or Pixel and it would require them to develop an app for the Google Play Store for other Androids. As opposed to you just pairing it with your Samsung and it automatically working. They have taken the Apple approach to this, unfortunately.
The biggest "minimalist" tech im waiting for is VR/AR glasses that weigh as much as normal glasses
"it never vibrates, it never makes any noise, there's no speaker in it" 8:00 lol no speaker in a ring
Would be easy to implement. AirPod cases have speakers.
Disappointing that there’s no speaker. I can understand no haptic motors, maybe it would be too thick, but a speaker can’t have been that hard
my precious!!!
I scrolled through a hundred comments looking for this
Someone really needs to go in depth on how accurate these fitness trackers actually are. For all we know they could just be spitting out random data that isn't even correct... Like seriously, the margin between the apple watch and the ring regarding health data is extremely concerning... not just for the galaxy ring but for all fitness trackers period. I just want someone to expose that non of these "trackers" actually track anything.
5:59 How many retakes did it take you to get that push-ups shot perfect?
💀
nice. i like how you improved how you slide in the ad. glad you listen to the viewers. one of the reasons why i like to watch you video !
Good luck selling this ecosystem restricted product in EU😂
Apple watch not compatible with anything other then apple..
Why?
So, when we start raising a problem of Samsung closed ecosystem in the same way we've talked about Apple?
Now you are officially married to Samsung, huge congratulations!!
Girls will be like I will divorce samsung and ask for half of their wealth....
What if a ghost with heart wore that ring at 3 pm! Marques you should check your house through ghostbusters 😂
I love the honest review
Probably been said. But you need to try the ring on in different temps and times of day to decide what works for you. Hands are different sizes depending on how hydrated you are or what your vascular system is doing 😊
Wow your intro is awesome Marquez! Love it!
after the mrbeast video💀
Appreciate the honesty in the review
Running, Cycling, Kayaking, Hiking...just a few ways the ring would be awesome! This dude doesn't do enough testing in his reviews.
Yeah and if Apple made the exact same I'm guessing your title would be: I LOVE IT!
10:45 lmaooooo
I love your intros man
Perfect for me. I might have to wear gloves for using weights while strength training, but other than that I mostly run, bike, Zumba. I wear a Fitbit Flex 2 for a health study, a Garmin for my other activities, but would love the ring to track my sleep, etc. I haven't been able to sleep in a watch.
$10 000 says he's gonna absolutely love the "IRing" or the Apple Ring should they decide to release it... To those new, American tech reviewers get paid to make the public doubt android tech in favour of the Apple, their "American" tech company... Pay attention 💔
