In addition to health monitoring, the Galaxy Ring offers practical functionalities like Heart Rate Alerts to notify users of irregular heart rates and reminders to stay active throughout the day. The device can also serve as a remote shutter trigger for Samsung Galaxy smartphones. Made from titanium, the Galaxy Ring is water-resistant up to 100 meters, ensuring durability for various activities. The ring comes in different sizes, weighs between 2.3 and 3 grams, and boasts a battery life of up to seven days on a single charge.

Priced at $400, the Galaxy Ring is available in Titanium Black, Silver, or Gold variants. Pre-orders in the US begin on July 10, with general availability starting on July 24.
