Whether you're a fitness buff or someone who wants to improve their health, data is your friend. There are plenty of fitness trackers and smartwatches out there that enable you to collect information on what your body is up to. There is no shortage of smartwatch options, but many people prefer smart rings, especially now that the Oura Ring is far from the only option available. They're smaller and easier to wear, and Samsung's new Galaxy Ring is the latest compact fitness tracker on the market. It's a great option for people who want a fitness tracker without the bulk of a smartwatch, and it even looks pretty great as well.
The Samsung Galaxy Ring might be the highest-profile ring-style fitness tracker you can get right now. It was unveiled during the Samsung Unpacked event in July to much acclaim. We couldn't wait to get our hands on it... or rather, to get it on our hands. When we did, we loved it.
Since the Galaxy Ring is so new and the previous preorder offers are no longer available, there aren't any huge deals on it right now, but we've found a few ways to get a discount or to score modest gift card bonuses being offered by some retailers. We'll continue to keep this page updated as new offers come around.

The Galaxy Ring helps keep track of your sleep, energy and activity. The ring is IP68-rated water resistant, so you can keep it on while swimming, but it shouldn't be used for high-pressure water activities or diving. The battery can last up to seven days on a single charge, but that varies by both size and usage. Just 30 minutes should get you to a charge of 40%.

It's also worth keeping in mind that the Galaxy Ring must be paired with a compatible Samsung Galaxy smartphone and you'll need a Samsung account login as well as the Samsung Health app to take advantage of its features. Your purchase comes with both a charging case and a USB cable.
