Samsung Galaxy Ring is official – when it gets to Australia is another matter.

It was at the start of this year when Samsung teased this all-new product the “Galaxy Ring”. Today in Paris that product becomes a reality announcing it’s specifications and features but leaving Aussie’s just a little in the lurch as to when we’ll be able to buy one.

This is a device designed for 24/7 Wellness monitoring – something a watch simply doesn’t do with many people not keen to wear one at night, and the need to almost daily charge them.

The ring comes in three different finishes – Titanium Black, Titanium Silver and Titanium Gold

But here’s the thing, they aren’t chunky. They aren’t heavy, they feel – amazingly light given what they are.

Just 2.3 to 3 grams depending on the size you choose and the finish. Remarkable.

They have a band width of 7mm, and are just 2.6m thick.

Inside are sensors to help track your heart rate, activity and even cycle.

And the battery life is a fantastic seven days! The Ring comes in a small translucent box which keeps it secure when charging. The box itself has a battery in it so you can charge without fuss when travelling, and the box itself is then wirelessly recharged.

Made from a Grade 5 Titanium, with an IP68 rating I think we have to respect what Samsung has created here as a health tracker.

As someone very much not keen to wear a watch to bed, sleep tracking has been an “off body” experience. I think that’s the exact market this Ring targets.

Plus, paired with your Samsung phone, you can us a double tap or pinch gesture to dismiss your alarm or even control your camera shutter remotely.

If you misplace your Galaxy Ring, you can find it using your Galaxy smartphone with Find My Ring on Samsung Find.

The Samsung Galaxy Ring is coming to Australia. When is the only question. While I think some at Samsung Australia are keen to see it on-sale this year, a hesitancy exists and they are unable to commit to that timeframe, nonetheless – the Galaxy Ring is coming, it’s just a matter of when, and for how much.
