I'll be honest... I'm a kid that like to spoil myself. Super vain. I only want it for the NFC usage. That's it... I don't have health issues. So I don't care or pretend to care for those features lol I just want pay for things with a tap of my ring.
I'm a watch guy, I have a vast watch collection and would never wear two watches so I could wear a smartwatch. This is perfect. I can wear my Seiko or Omega, and still track my sleep or workouts, ect. I'm excited 😊
i thought it could be an alternative for the watch which is not the cheapest, so I was excited to be able to keep track of my heartrate etc, without spending tons of money. Well surprice surprise it is more expensive then the watch...
I literally just want it for sleep tracking, which a watch, personally, is too uncomfortable to wear all night almost every night just to see how well I sleep.
If they indeed plan on not having any subscription plan, then I would be interested in this. I did have an Oura ring for a few months but then they started with the subscription plan so i just sold it.
Love your Videos. I already pre ordered but had to get free sample to try on my fingers. And I guess I can have it as to share if someone wants to buy it and knows the size.
How well would this work with sports that involve you holding things in your hands, like weight lifting or racket sports. Won't it get in the way or possible get damaged. I normally remove my wedding ring before lifting weights for example, as I don't want to scratch it excessively.
Nice job on the review! I've been looking at the Ultrahuman Ring Air too-it offers more colors and sizes than the Samsung Galaxy Ring. How do they compare? Will you be doing a comparison?
Honestly, if the health trackers are as good as the watch truckers, then this could honestly be a great product for people who dont want a bulky or eye-catching watch on them just a small generic looking ring
Silver and Black in US sold out! Sizing kit free with an order. Get to figure out your size first then follow up with Samsung and order size based on using the sizing kit for awhile.
I already own and where the galaxy watch 5 Pro 24 hours a day anyway and I always keep it topped up with power so I can't justify buying a ring now maybe in the future when they add more features and new versions in the future like exclusive health tracking functions with the ring that you can't get with the watch and exclusive features if you own and where both the ring and a watch at the same time
I've owned the McLear for many years, and recently moved onto the Tapster ring. It allows you link cards and in the UK you can link it to a Curve card. Found it works more reliably than the McLear and don't have to worry about 'topping up'
But the mclear is a completely different use case. The Samsung ring is a fitness trecker for those who love “normal watches” and do not need the extra functionality a smartwatch offers. 400$ is btw cheap compared to the competition. Al of those require a active subscription
How come this type of device isnt monitoring blood sugar? I know it wouldn't replace test strips and all that but it would help a number of people. I would get that for my parents...
I have an oura ring and was wondering when competition will come up to match them and finally a big brand like Samsung did it. Hopefully Apple does too cause oura doing it via subscription is insane. If these big brands do it I’m sure they won’t have subscription models and will challenge oura to do better to keep up. Love the ring to sleep and track steps and my hr workouts cause I don’t like the watches or their battery life. The pinch feature adds nice touch to it hope they add more things to it like it.
@@z3ro7o Definitely would say it IS meant for that as part of wellness (steps, walking, a simple run). Since those aren’t anything too crazy. What I would say it isn’t for is tracking the fitness options most watches have that are meant for it that is more intense.
Whole point of having a watch is so you can see your phone without pulling the phone out, a ring??? That a watch can do with a screen, they kinda going backwards😂
Oura is still the better choice in terms of metrics and data points. Yes, there is a monthly payment of $5.99, but the quality and accuracy of that data, hasn't let me down yet.
I'm very interested and would like to hear more because I don't like to wear my watch at night as well. And I don't like to wear my watch when I go to water aerobics even though it's water resistant. Does my watch have to be nearby when I'm in water aerobics can I wear my ring and will it monitor my vitals underwater? Thanks for always making a great video. I'm so impressed. But the good work and much continued success.
@clint4237 I did watch the video, and you're wrong. What he mentions is Samsung Find, which helps find the ring itself if you happen to lose it, he never mentioned "Find my phone" a feature on smart watches which rings your phone
This is perfect for someone like me who enjoys mechanical watches rather than smart watches, but still wants a smart accessory
I was just wondering why would I get the ring instead of the watch. Thank you for reminding me.
I agree, I just hope I can read AFib.
Exactly 💯
Very true ❤️
people are memeing but this is perfect for someone who doesn't like wearing watches like me
i am actually interested in it. and no subscription fees? that is awesome
Exactly.... Like me 🥰
I thought the same freaking thing lmao, my watch is so uncomfortable to wear while sleeping and I sleep worse with it on
I hate watches lol
Didn't I just see this comment on another video? Bot
finally i don't have to wear my watch to sleep
This year ring, next year screen on ring, next year speaker mic,reverse charge, we all know this will go.
Yeah that's usually how technological advances go
And no one needs this shit, back then this shit didn't exist and people lived.
@@markpolo7 calm down grandpa its just a smart ring.
@@T-lash I am kinda with the old guy. $400.00 for what, exactly? A health monitor? Worthless.
@@T-lash The lack of nfc eliminates this crap
Genuinely surprised by how many people actually want a smart ring! Pretty cool to see...
I'll be honest... I'm a kid that like to spoil myself. Super vain. I only want it for the NFC usage. That's it... I don't have health issues. So I don't care or pretend to care for those features lol I just want pay for things with a tap of my ring.
@@DirtCheapFU 😄 such honesty on the internet! Cool and refreshing. May your ring bring forth many adventures 🙌
One ring to rule them all...
NFC?
Who's getting one? 🤔 BUY HERE: howl.me/cmDJhIUIrjR

I'm a watch guy, I have a vast watch collection and would never wear two watches so I could wear a smartwatch. This is perfect. I can wear my Seiko or Omega, and still track my sleep or workouts, ect. I'm excited 😊
Likewise! Literally the exact same thought process.
As a guy who owns speedy and CPT Willard, this comment is on point. 🤜🤛
What's our thoughts on using this with weightlifting?
i thought it could be an alternative for the watch which is not the cheapest, so I was excited to be able to keep track of my heartrate etc, without spending tons of money. Well surprice surprise it is more expensive then the watch...
Jokes on you, it cost just as much as the watch
I literally just want it for sleep tracking, which a watch, personally, is too uncomfortable to wear all night almost every night just to see how well I sleep.
@@eronic404 yeah I have the watch 6 and I for the life of me can not wear it to bed, this ring was going to be my savior butttt........the price!
indeed, i thought it only cost around $30 🤣🤣
This will probably be 100 dollars in a couple of months in the used market, most Samsungs have poor resale value
Amazing hand on video as always brother
Apple after 5yr: "Ring!"
I wish it had more gestures, control volume, or power control, something like that
i don't see myself wearing a smart watch, when i can be wearing a beautiful mechanical watch so the ring is ordered!
Samsung fan boy. Hate my watch when I sleep. This is perfect. Signed up
Same
That is actually an ice breaker for good true relationship lol love it
Gollum/Sméagol needs the "Find my ring" feature mostly
I can't wait to get one.
Tech rings are goin to be the new replacement for wedding rings it’s cheaper, looks better and does a lot more!
Eh they're cool, but I wouldn't say they look better. There's also the fact that a gold ring would last a lot longer.
If they indeed plan on not having any subscription plan, then I would be interested in this. I did have an Oura ring for a few months but then they started with the subscription plan so i just sold it.
if the ring was a controler for the watch as well so it was a one hand operation would be a great future idea.
This is really the only item to be excited about from the unpacked event.
I like the watch ultra
My precious Gollum 😂
Could be cool if they have manage to put a NFC and use the contactless payment..
Nice video
For that price, I’ll get the one off AliExpress lol
Does it give accurate blood pressure measures? The only thing I need it for.
Love your Videos. I already pre ordered but had to get free sample to try on my fingers. And I guess I can have it as to share if someone wants to buy it and knows the size.
Sadly no NFC or contactless payment
Exactly what were they thinking
I'm sure that would be an upgrade in the ring 2 😅
This is the only thing I was looking for
Wow interesting
I wonder if the ring size is the same as the Oura ring since they also have 3 sensors inside
why is it 399 GBP in the uk that's like 500 USD it should have been like 350 GBP at most and even that is too much
Includes 20% VAT whereas no sales tax in USA (on Internet cross state sales).
How well would this work with sports that involve you holding things in your hands, like weight lifting or racket sports. Won't it get in the way or possible get damaged. I normally remove my wedding ring before lifting weights for example, as I don't want to scratch it excessively.
Would've been nice to be able to pay with the ring as well ;)
Maybe Version 2 lol
Looking at the glossy silver in the video. It looks like finger prints are all over the ring. Kinda looking forward to the matte finished silver.
i want it for the reason i already wear a ring and watch tends to come off when i go to sleep. also can be used as a wedding ring
Nice job on the review! I've been looking at the Ultrahuman Ring Air too-it offers more colors and sizes than the Samsung Galaxy Ring. How do they compare? Will you be doing a comparison?
Is it made of titanium? I would like to see useful eco system features.
I'm in the UK and I went to the Samsung experience store today and the silver one is matt not gloss. I really wanted a gloss silver one :-(
I wish we could customize the double pinch, but maybe it's because it may get many mispresses if it checks 24/7 vs during specific times
Honestly, if the health trackers are as good as the watch truckers, then this could honestly be a great product for people who dont want a bulky or eye-catching watch on them just a small generic looking ring
Will that track weight training??
Finally! I like it. Not a smart watch girl, love physical watches. Can this ring be used as a counter?
this how smart watches got started but it never took off. we finally have the tech. i would prefer a patch on my skin that this
Buy the ring they said, comes with a heart rate tracker they said....
Silver and Black in US sold out! Sizing kit free with an order. Get to figure out your size first then follow up with Samsung and order size based on using the sizing kit for awhile.
I’m getting one
Will they ever introduce pay using the ring?
I already own and where the galaxy watch 5 Pro 24 hours a day anyway and I always keep it topped up with power so I can't justify buying a ring now maybe in the future when they add more features and new versions in the future like exclusive health tracking functions with the ring that you can't get with the watch and exclusive features if you own and where both the ring and a watch at the same time
Waaaay too expensive for just a fitness ring, can't believe it doesn't do contactless payments. I'll be getting a McLear for 1/4 the price.
I agree. This thing is expensive and useless.
I've owned the McLear for many years, and recently moved onto the Tapster ring. It allows you link cards and in the UK you can link it to a Curve card. Found it works more reliably than the McLear and don't have to worry about 'topping up'
@@clint4237well not useless clearly, the uses were listed.
L.
But the mclear is a completely different use case. The Samsung ring is a fitness trecker for those who love “normal watches” and do not need the extra functionality a smartwatch offers. 400$ is btw cheap compared to the competition. Al of those require a active subscription
Very very cool, great innovation!
Guess I'll have to break out the dremel and polish the sliver up
Wish it had a small digital screen to.tell time as well
How come this type of device isnt monitoring blood sugar? I know it wouldn't replace test strips and all that but it would help a number of people. I would get that for my parents...
Are you able to use Samsung Pay with the ring? Or NFC capability?
No
Amazing
Please 🙏 can someone alighted is it to make a call.with ring?
RIP Oura
I wouldn't be surprised if they drop their subscription requirements or merge into Samsung.
@@michaelhanzalwhy would Samsung buy it when it is on its way out..
Was looking forward to this, but it's a shame it can only be used with Samsung phones. I would have liked to have been able to use it my Pixel.
Can this ring detect step in samsung health?
Do you have to have a Samsung device to use this? I know you don't have to have the watch as you said but is a Phone from Samsung required?
You didn't watch the video properly... he said any android device running android 11 or later. But galaxy devices get a better UI
Does it vibrate when somebody calling?
1:15 mate wrong symbol, that indicates more/greater than 3 grams.
Can anyone help can it track calories burnt like non active calories like the Apple Watch does
Ring looks nice but I wonder if it does what the Watch do. If no no need for a ring.
400 bucks for no more than health tracking? No way.
What finger did they say to use the ring on? I heard they said index finger is the best.

oura ring in only good for wellness.. not for steps or any fitness.
@@z3ro7o Definitely would say it IS meant for that as part of wellness (steps, walking, a simple run). Since those aren’t anything too crazy.
What I would say it isn’t for is tracking the fitness options most watches have that are meant for it that is more intense.
More things to track you and get your personal info to sell :)
I have the watch. I feel like it'll be just another thing to charge 🙃
Excuse me sir, I was watching the zfold6 vs zf5 comparison video and it was put private right as I was watching it 😐 wth?
There was a mistake in posting since it shows a quarter of the size I suppose 🤣🤣🤣
All great but one big thing is that phone bat is so low and ring plus watch plus buds will drain it like 2h top
What is £399 - a medicine?
Whole point of having a watch is so you can see your phone without pulling the phone out, a ring??? That a watch can do with a screen, they kinda going backwards😂
nothing about NFC or RFID, such as tap-and-pay or tap-and-enter an office door.....?
NFC!?
So now i need a ring to tell me my other wearables are wrong? Waht next? A subdermal implant to tell me all the above are wrong?
Can the ring be charged with a Galaxy phone?
This is actually good for having in my hand all night
Can you not tap the ring to pay for stuff instead of getting your phone out to do so
Super super🎉🎉🎉❤❤
if can cek blod sugar i think is very good to buy
That price though lol
Does it have NFC?
no
How does it notify you? Does it vibrate? Can you use it as an alarm to wake? Thanks anyone who can help.
No screen … have to have a Samsung phone to connect …. Not really worth the price 399…
My wife wants to know if it has a vibrating feature ?
Txt on video says >3gs.
Whoops
Oura is still the better choice in terms of metrics and data points. Yes, there is a monthly payment of $5.99, but the quality and accuracy of that data, hasn't let me down yet.
This ring is perfect... For 4 people worldwide. Such a disappointment...waited 8 months for no new functionality
No camera?
i got it as a pinky ring in gold
How does it compare to Oura 🤔
U.S. only?
I'm very interested and would like to hear more because I don't like to wear my watch at night as well. And I don't like to wear my watch when I go to water aerobics even though it's water resistant. Does my watch have to be nearby when I'm in water aerobics can I wear my ring and will it monitor my vitals underwater? Thanks for always making a great video. I'm so impressed. But the good work and much continued success.
can u sync it to iphone
Does it work with iOS/iPhone?
Dont think so
Do we know if the Ring will have a "find my phone" feature? Thats really the main usage of my galaxy watch lol
Didn't you watch the video? Because he directly answered that.
@clint4237 I did watch the video, and you're wrong. What he mentions is Samsung Find, which helps find the ring itself if you happen to lose it, he never mentioned "Find my phone" a feature on smart watches which rings your phone
Who would wear the ring on an index finger. Design flaw.
Can be worn on any finger according to Samsung website
Why is the price so different pounds to dollars?
That's ridiculous
We All know the reason why the black ring is Mat Black, come on, now.. :)
