The Galaxy Ring is made from titanium, while the Galaxy Watch 7 is crafted from armor aluminum and features a display, which the ring predictably does not. The Galaxy Watch 7 comes in 40mm or 44mm models, though if you prefer a larger size, you can consider the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
The Galaxy Watch 7 has a Super AMOLED display with protection provided by Sapphire Glass. The display resolution varies depending on the watch’s size, but they have a similar pixels-per-inch ratio.
The Galaxy Ring is available in sizes five through 13 in three titanium models: Black, Silver, and Gold. Samsung provides sizing kits, which are free as part of an introductory offer, for anyone who doesn’t know their ring size.
The Galaxy Ring weighs just 3 grams, which is significantly lighter than the competitor Oura. That means you will barely even notice it on your finger. The Galaxy Ring is just 2.6mm thick, which we found impressive for a first-generation product.Galaxy Ring vs. Galaxy Watch 7: sensors, health tracking, and interface
Both devices are compatible with the Samsung Health app, which means they are incompatible with non-Android devices such as iPhones. The Samsung Health app is where you can access all the data collected by each product, which is gathered from sensors on both devices.
The Galaxy Ring is specifically designed to monitor essential health metrics discreetly. It features Auto Workout Detection, which automatically gathers data from activities such as walks or runs. Additionally, it provides an Energy Score that uses AI to analyze various health metrics and assign a score up to 100. This score reflects how your body should be feeling based on the collected data, including sleep information, activity level, sleeping heart rate, and sleep heart rate variability. The wearable also tracks blood oxygen levels and skin temperature to assist in tracking menstrual cycles.
The Galaxy Watch 7 encompasses all the features of the Galaxy Ring, along with many more additions.
