Samsung has confirmed the Galaxy Ring unveiled at its Unpacked launch event in Paris in July will be released in Australia in mid-October.
In fact, Australia will be the first country in the South-East Asia and Oceania region to receive Samsung’s impressive new wearable device.
Galaxy Ring is designed to be worn 24/7 to collect data and gather insights into your health and wellness.
All the data collected will be viewable in the Samsung Health app – a single free platform which allows users to monitor their health and fitness patterns and look for ways to improve it.
Sleep analysis will be a major part of the wellness analysis with Samsung bringing a new sleep AI algorithm to Galaxy Ring so it can understand your sleep quality and build better sleep habits.
Galaxy Ring will be able to even analyse your snoring and introduce new metrics including movement during sleep, sleep latency, heart and respiratory rate which all add up to a detailed and accurate analysis of your sleep quality.
It also has cycle tracking so women can also track their menstrual cycle.
But Galaxy Ring isn’t just about keeping an eye on your sleep, it can also give you information about your heart health with heart rate alerts which offers instant notifications for unusually high or low heart rates in real time via the Samsung Health app.
Users could also find out more about their heart rate including beats per minute, times starting time duration with live heart rate check.
Galaxy Ring can see when you’re working out through the Auto Workout Detection and offer daily prompts if you’re being inactive.
When paired to a Galaxy smartphone, users can use a double pinch via gestures to take photos or dismiss alarms.
And if you happen to misplace the Galaxy Ring you can find it via your Galaxy smartphone with Find My Ring on Samsung Find.
It will be available in three colour choices, Titanium Black, Titanium Silver and Titanium Gold, Galaxy and has a lightweight concave design.
Galaxy Ring will be available in nine sizes – from five to 13 – and customers can access a sizing kit as part of the purchase process to ensure it is a perfect when they receive it.
Here’s what customers need to do when they receive the Galaxy Ring sizing kit:
– Pick a size, try it on. Check the position of the three sensors on the bottom and the indicator on the outer surface. Wear the sample ring so that the sensors are facing up. Make sure the indicator is also on the palm side.
– When you find one that feels right, move your fingers around. Finger sizes can change from day to night, so it’s recommended to keep the ring on for at least 24 hours. Go about your day and sleep through the night.
– If your finger feels comfortable after 24 hours, that’s your Galaxy Ring size.
Pricing and precise release date is yet to be announced.
