The world of fitness trackers has changed in recent years, with more brands leaning towards rings as a watch alternative for a more discreet approach to tracking health and fitness. Samsung is the latest to join the line-up, with the Samsung Galaxy Smart Ring released earlier this summer.
You may have heard of the Oura Ring already. This sleek, smart ring promises advanced health and fitness insights in a streamlined design - and delivers, according to our review which ranks it among the best fitness trackers around. However, the primary concern our tester (and many other people) have reported with the device is the subscription plan, which users have to stick to if they want to make full use of the Oura Ring after purchasing. The Samsung Galaxy Ring doesn't have the same requirement - once you buy the ring, you get the data for as long as you want it.
