I've never been a person who enjoys wearing a watch. Even though I've used dozens of smartwatches over the years, I seldom wear one all day long. That's where the idea of a smart ring comes in for me. As someone who already wears a wedding band every day and finds it comfortable, I had hoped a smart ring would feel like the ideal form factor when compared to cumbersome fitness straps or bulky watches.
The Samsung Galaxy Ring is the latest smart ring to try to woo customers with its concept, which started in 2015 with the release of the first-generation Oura Ring. But if you were hoping to replace your smartwatch with the Galaxy Ring, you're going to need to temper your expectations.
