Samsung challenges Oura with Galaxy Ring, a new health-tracking smart ring

Samsung has shaken up the smart ring market with the announcement of its Galaxy Ring during the Galaxy S24 Unpacked event.

Samsung aims to bring its cutting-edge health innovations to this novel form factor. The Galaxy Ring, integrated with AI technology, promises to revolutionize health and wellness tracking.

While details on features, release date and price have not yet been disclosed, it is expected that users will combine the Galaxy Ring with the existing Samsung Health app ecosystem for comprehensive health tracking.

The move puts Samsung in direct competition with established players like Oura in the smart ring category. Oura CEO Tom Hale sees the entry of new players as validation for the smart ring category, emphasizing Oura's strong IP portfolio and commitment to serving its diverse user base.
