I'll pay at most 50 bucks for this. Unless it is repairable, at which point im willing to pay 100 bucks or even 150 bucks cus I support social enterprises. At 400 dollars this sounds like an elaborate scam.
"The Titanium it's made of is rather durable as well, though it did pick up a couple of minor scratches when we did some barbell work with it. The smart thing is, of course not to wear rings in the gym, but we used this as more of durability test"
Can't handle light work at the gym, yeowzers. Isn't it supposed to be worn everywhere? That's what the swimming crowd said, they want you to wear it everywhere so the 10 ATM certification and unrepairability were necessary. So am I supposed to wear it or not wear it?
The key things I'd have used it for are running and sleeping. Even based on GSMarena's takes, the running isn't inspiring and only the sleep tracking seems good.
Is this worth 400 dollars just to track your sleep? It doesn't look all that expensive, up until now I thought it was plastic. Credit where credit is due, they're not gonna charge a monthly subscription for anything, that's the lowest bar to cross but that's desirable nowadays, sad times. If I wanted something to wear all day I'll go get a Xiaomi band, and for going outside I'd just get a Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic/a nice analog watch. Ain't no problem spending more money if it actually has some use.
Would like to hear about why someone would need this

Why on earth did they miss out contactless payment?
That would be one of the most relevant feautre.

Nikojas, 26 Aug 2024Needing to take it off at the gym doesn’t seem like a well ... moreRings in general should be removed when going to the gym. Any decent gym trainer will tell you that, also every jeweler.
Various safety and hygiene reasons for it, and it also avoids potentially damaging the ring.
So giving the same advice for a smart ring makes total sense.

Five days of battery endurance is still not bad, especially given its tiny size. I can see myself getting this over the Galaxy Watch for smart fitness, although the next-gen Galaxy Ring 2 should have integrated GPS for better accuracy and, hopefully, better repairability.

My Fit3 frequently recorded I've done 100+ steps during the half hour drive. Even while walking, it recorded way more steps than possible for such short distances.

Waited 18 months for this, ordered on day 1 in July, So wore the ring for just over a week, heart rate and sleep were very accurate, I wore an Apple watch 9 and Galaxy watch 6 for 4 days to test all the features ! Ring was returned and I was lucky to get a full refund ! Steps !!!! 4 times on a 4 hour bus journey and the ring racked up over 2000 steps every time and I was sitting looking out of a window ! Lot to be done yet with the sensors, might wait for the 2nd gen when they likely add NFC, no good for me !

Needing to take it off at the gym doesn’t seem like a well thought out plan, mkbhd had the same issue! Why would you want to remove it while working out?? Also how does the snoring monitor know it’s you snoring and not your partner or dog?!

The King., 26 Aug 2024Of course. And sell it for 4999.The rumor has it that this advanced Samsung ring originates from ancient ruins and is made of high-quality, legendary orichalcum. As a result, the starting bid price is $4999.

Again an example of useless consumers e-waste. Buy, use, throw away. Such things should be forbidden.

Well among all most useless gadgets ever invented by humanity like shoes with umbrella on it, CD/DVD rewinder, fake sugar, curved TV or 3D TV or TV with build in CD/DVD player or Washmashine with Android, Fridge with prebuilt Facebook for households etc.
This is ring is a brand new level of most useless things made by humanity.
Whats worse if it breaks you cant fix it.
