Samsung is jumping into the smart ring race with the debut of its Galaxy Ring at its Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris, France, on Wednesday. Smart rings are a category of connected devices designed to track your health and fitness more discreetly than a smartwatch or fitness band.

Oura's eponymously named Oura Ring is perhaps the most well-known smart ring, offering users insights into everything from sleep and heart rate variability to skin temperature and automatic workout detection. But the overall market is still relatively small compared to the smartphone space. Now Samsung is looking to get in on the action, making it the largest tech company to offer a smart ring.

The Galaxy Ring, which Samsung says gets a shot of generative AI capabilities via its Galaxy AI platform, starts at $399 and will be available in nine sizes. Customers can visit their nearest Samsung retailer to try out different sizes in person or order sizing kits online.

 
My wedding ring is a 10.5, but I opted for a size 12 when trying on the Galaxy Ring as it was the most comfortable option. I'll blame that on swollen fingers from my flight to Paris, the summer heat, and the wine I had the night before my demo.

The ring itself is rather fashionable and unassuming. You wouldn't look at it and immediately assume it was a piece of technology. Available in three colors — black, silver, and gold — the Galaxy Ring felt comfortable during the brief time I wore it. Samsung says you should get upward of seven days of battery life depending on the size of your ring. The company says smaller sizes will get five days of battery life.
