Price
The Samsung Galaxy Ring is available for pre-order now for $399.99 and will hit store shelves starting July 24. It comes in nine different sizes (size 5 through 13) and three different colors (black, gold, or silver).
The Oura Ring Generation 3 came out late in 2021. It still costs $299 for the original Heritage model. The newer Horizon model costs $349. The Heritage model comes in black, gold, silver, or stealth (matte black). The Horizon model adds brushed titanium and rose gold to the mix. Some colors carry a premium of as much as $200. Both are available in eight sizes (sizes 6 through 13).
Oura charges a $5.99 monthly membership fee for advanced features and personalized recommendations. Without the membership, you can only see basic activity and sleep scores. Samsung doesn’t charge an additional fee.
Both companies offer a sizing kit if you need to know which model will fit you best. Oura’s is free. Samsung’s costs $10, but you’ll then receive a $10 discount on the Galaxy Ring if you order one. If you choose not to get the Ring, you’re out that $10.
Winner: TieCompatibility
As is usual for a Samsung wearable, you need to pair the Galaxy Ring with an Android device. It won’t work with iPhones. It also has a few features exclusive to Samsung phones, such as AI insights.
The Oura Ring works with Android or iOS, with all features available on any current smartphone.
