      Haven't used one, but I've read so much previous stuff about the Oura ring, which is apparently a fairly good comparison and people who use those seem to love it

    • Dvbargain on 25/01/2025 - 22:15

      It's pretty great, it motivates me very well and provides good insights and record keeping of habits.

      Note that the Kogan Aura is shitloads cheaper and nearly does the same thing though, although my friend who got one was getting wildly incorrect sleep times.

    I don't get why this expensive product exists. Being a Garmin user, I would imagine the same for anyone who already owns a smartwatch from any brand. It doesn't even have NFC. I fail to see the value proposition here. I wouldn't be surprised if it will be discontinued this time next year.

    The only nice thing from what I can see is the charging dock.

    • cmoddoo on 25/01/2025 - 19:33

      I don't want a smart watch, would consider this if the price is right and works well

    • Bisky1 on 25/01/2025 - 20:03

      Lots of people would wear a ring but not a watch, or take the watch off for sleep/exercise, or want to maximize tracking (so use both).

      I've talked to many techy people who fall into each bucket.

      The issue is the state of the ring isn't good enough for any of those use cases, especially cf a watch.

      I'd buy it in a heartbeat (intended), once it can do a great job of HR tracking either to replace or augment my watch ultra.

      Smartwatch has a big market, ring expands the market of wearables. Both watches and especially rings have a huge margin on them.

      People love data, and health data really helps. As someone who works in data for a living, I'm able to use it even more - and my data is far more interesting than company data.

      It's for anyone that doesn't want to sleep with a watch, or wear a watch. And the battery lasts longer than a Samsung watch. Sure you could use a Garmin instead (and I do), but Garmin is a very dumbed down smart watch experience.

    • RedSky on 25/01/2025 - 20:47

      Longer battery life, sleep tracking and being less bulky than a watch (I forget I'm wearing it). I use another brand though not Samsung as I think it's overpriced. I'm not expecting it to replace my phone and prefer to still carry it around so not having NFC is not a big deal.

    • Make it so on 25/01/2025 - 20:58

      NFC payments would be my only motivator. But even then it's too expensive.

        Yes exactly my thoughts too.. there is no way I'm paying anywhere near this, been if contactless payments are available… I had the Bankwest Halo ring until it was retired and that was the single best payment system I've ever used. No other bank or system has come close.

      • Graffin on 26/01/2025 - 16:14

        I wondered what happened to the Bankwest ring. It was heavily promoted on one season of The Amazing Race Australia then never seen again.

        What is the point of wearing a "smart" ring if you can't pay for things with it? I wouldn't have bought the Samsung one anyway, but I hope Apple's version (iRing? or whatever it may be called) has that functionality. I guess in a payment scenario, the ring could only ever use your default payment method, it's not like you could change it on the ring, you'd still have to use your watch or phone to change the payment method.

        • TravHall on 26/01/2025 - 18:58
          -1

          Bankwest were so far ahead of the game with the Halo, but didn't promote it apart from the Amazing Race. I travelled overseas with that ring and the amount of people asking about it were blown away by its simplicity and how smart it was.

          That ring just worked, no charging, waterproof, damn.. I still wear it everyday to hold my wedding ring in place but it's just a ring and a reminder of how life was once easier for contactless payments, never thought I would say that…

          • Graffin on 27/01/2025 - 03:19

            @TravHall: Ah, so it was more like a PayTag embedded within the ring. Commbank tried that before they supported ApplePay - they essentially gave us a mini version of our debit card (tiny) to stick on the inside of our phone cases.

            Not having to charge it would be a huge plus. I have to charge my phone and watch almost daily.

    I use a ringconn gen2 because I can't have anything on my wrists. Can't speak to the galaxy ring but I highly recommend the ring option to anyone wanting to track metrics outside of using a watch. Make sure to test with the sizing kit and in hold and cold temps.

  • Beingthanos on 25/01/2025 - 20:51

    Anyone knows of rings that supports NFC payment in Australia. Was looking into TAPSTER but looks like i’ll have to use a third party app to topup the ring for the NFC payment thing to work. Tapping with ring for transport officers would look cool as hell.

      The ring won't last too long because of the battery unless if the battery could be replaced, so you need to buy the next smart ring again or just a ring …

    Easily the best form factor for this sort of device, doesn't monopolise my wrist.

    But $699? looooooooooooooooooooooooool. That's $500 overpriced, at least. The Fit3 is an outstanding bit of gear, and is like $130 at BingLee or $89 on the EPP.

  • neoleo on 25/01/2025 - 22:27

    The price is NOT worth it as the accuracy of any smart rings is less accurate that smartwatches at the moment. Anyone can watch YouTube channel "The quantified scientist" for real accuracy tests of smartwatches, smart rings, etc.

    It's still better to buy a smartwatch than this smart ring, especially with that price …

    I predict the price of this smart ring will fall, just like other Samsung smartwatches.
