To compare, the Oura Ring, which is one of Samsung’s current competitors, has a convex look to it. Speaking of the outlooks, the wearable will be available in three different colors: platinum silver, ceramic black, and gold.
Regarding functionality, the Galaxy Ring aims to offer all the fitness and health tracking features of Galaxy Watch smartwatches. That means you can track your heart rate, sleep, breathing rate, and night movement with it. The ring also bears the ability to detect early signs of sleep apnea, something that Samsung recently got FDA approval for.
On the note of the Galaxy Watch, Samsung says that the ring will act like the right companion for the smartwatch. When paired, you can get a better quality of health and fitness tracking.
Samsung says that the Galaxy Ring will be exclusively available for Samsung Galaxy smartphones at launch. However, the company does have plans to expand the compatibility later on.
