If you ask me, the Samsung Galaxy ring has three major health features that make it one of the best wearable devices you can buy today. From sleep analysis to heart rate monitoring and fitness and cycle tracking, it provides deeper insights into your well-being, so you can take more control of your health. Here's what I discovered while testing each of them.
1. Sleep Analysis
Considerably one of the biggest health features, the Samsung Galaxy ring tracks everything from your sleep timing to your skin temperature and how often you wake up in the middle of the night. In other words, if you've ever wanted to learn about your sleep pattern, you finally can. The best part is that when you wake up in the morning, you can check your Energy score to determine whether you're in for a rough or active day. For instance, in my video, you can see I scored 40 out of 100 because I didn't get enough sleep, which let me know that I needed to take it easy and go to bed early. Yes, that's right. You won't just get an inside look at yesterday's sleep—you'll also get personalized tips and suggestions to help you improve your sleep over time. And the more you wear the ring, the more it learns your body.
2. Heart Rate Monitoring
Thanks to heart rate tracking, you can monitor your heart health in real time. Even better, if the device detects a high or low heart rate, you will receive an alert on your phone so you can get ahead of a potential problem. Not to mention, the ring's sensors analyze your heart rate and temperature changes to detect stress throughout the day. Like, are you more anxious at work? Do you panic around certain people? You'll find out in no time with this ingenious accessory. As for me, I learned that I'm more stressed in the morning and afternoon.
3. Fitness and Cycle Tracking
For all my active peeps, you'll love the Samsung Galaxy Ring's ability to track your steps, workout history and eating habits. And everyone will appreciate receiving notifications to help them get moving every hour. And if you do decide to hop on a treadmill or go for a run, the ring will automatically pick up on your activity to help you get the most accurate Energy score. (My ring picked up everything from my walks to the grocery store to my solo dance sessions and Peloton rides!) And gone are the days of having a separate app for cycle tracking. You can log your period in the Samsung Health app, and it will give you a prediction date for your next one, your predicted fertile window and predicated ovulation period. I have a feeling this will be a game-changer when it comes to booking vacations and family planning.
