- The Samsung Galaxy Ring can officially be purchased in Australia as of today (October 16th, 2024).
- Wildly intuitive and extremely comfortable, it’s been hailed as the “Oura Killer.”
- Samsung Galaxy Ring RRP: $699.
The latest Samsung Unpacked global event showcased an array of the expected — ranging from an AI-powered Galaxy Z Fold and Flip; to the ever-capable Galaxy Watch Ultra and Watch7, along with beefier Galaxy Buds. But what’s soundly captivated the world’s attention was the Samsung Galaxy Ring.
Initially unveiled in Paris, the South Korean tech giant’s titanium answer to the likes of Oura, Evie, and Ultrahuman promises to reorganise the consumer wearable hierarchy. And considering the $699 sticker price, it’s also one of the most expensive.

Though it is worth noting chief rival Oura requires an additional monthly subscription if you want access to its full suite of capabilities/metrics, which is certainly a consideration.
The Samsung Galaxy Ring seamlessly marries effortless everyday wear and comfort with powerful wellness tracking enhanced by the proprietary Galaxy AI (something that’s already impressed us). The ring weighs approximately three grams — dimensions: 7mm wide, 2.6mm thick — while the battery life is up to a week with another week’s worth of charge in its incredibly stylish case.
Featuring three distinct sensors within its elegantly timeless design, this fashionable flex delivers cutting-edge health-tracking innovations to the native Samsung Health companion app. The accelerometer, heart rate tracker, and skin thermometer work in tandem to deliver insights about sleep, stress, oxygen levels, workouts, heart health, as well as menstrual cycles.
“The latest additions to our wearables portfolio integrate Samsung’s most advanced technologies and innovations, enabling you to take control of your health and wellness,” said TM Roh, President of Samsung Mobile.
