Wellness trackers come in many different styles now, ranging from smartwatches to rings. When the Oura Ring first came out, it revolutionized the world of fitness trackers. Since then, a few competitors have come to market.

We couldn’t wait to get our hands on it… or rather, to get it on our hands. When we did, we loved it. There aren’t any huge discounts going on preorders of the new smart ring, but we’ve found a few ways to save on the Galaxy Ring, in addition to some modest gift card bonuses being offered by retailers. The ring is set to be released in a few days’ time, and we’ve gathered the best preorder deals in one place to make it easy to compare them. We’ll keep this page updated as new offers come around.

The Galaxy Ring helps keep track of your sleep, energy and activity. The Galaxy Ring is IP68-rated water resistant, but it shouldn’t be used for high-pressure water activities or diving. You can still use it when you’re swimming. The battery can last up to seven days on a single charge, but that varies by both size and usage. Just 30 minutes should get you to a charge of 40%.

It’s also worth keeping in mind that the Galaxy Ring must be paired with a compatible Samsung Galaxy smartphone and you’ll need a Samsung account login as well as the Samsung Health app to take advantage of its features. Your purchase comes with both a charging case and a USB cable.

What sizes does the Galaxy Ring come in?

You can order the Galaxy Ring in nine different sizes, running from size 5 through size 13. It is important to note that Samsung says the Ring’s sizing differs from US standards due to its internal sensors. The company recommends ordering its free sizing kit before you place your order.
