Should I wear the Samsung Galaxy Ring on a specific finger?
Most smart ring makers recommend wearing their rings on your non-dominant hand's index finger, or the ring finger as a secondary option that still delivers accurate health data. You can also consider the middle finger. Your pinky will be too small to get a good reading; your thumb may be too short and active to find a convenient spot for continuous data.
Samsung recommended during our Galaxy Ring hands-on that people wear it on their pointer finger, with the ring finger as a backup option. They said you'll want it to slide on your finger somewhat easily but have some resistance coming off so it's not too loose for accurate readings.
During a private Q&A session with the Galaxy Ring product team, they said people should use the Galaxy Ring sizing kit to "choose which finger they want to wear it on or try different sizes on different fingers." In other words, they expect people to wear the Galaxy Ring on whichever finger they find comfortable.
Samsung sells a sizing kit through retailers, or sends it for free if you buy the Galaxy Ring from samsung.com. The Galaxy Ring comes in nine sizes that don't conform to any universal size chart, so you'll want to try it on various fingers first and see which is comfortable for daily use, sleep tracking, and workout tracking.
