Samsung is kicking off a new era of AI-powered wearables with the introduction of the Galaxy Ring, Galaxy Watch7, and Galaxy Watch Ultra. Unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked in Paris, these devices are set to revolutionize how we approach health and wellness in our daily lives.
Let’s start with the showstopper—the Galaxy Ring. This sleek, lightweight wearable (weighing between 2.3g to 3.0g) is designed for 24/7 wear, offering continuous health monitoring without the bulk of a traditional smartwatch. Available in Titanium Black, Silver, and Gold, the Ring boasts an impressive 7-day battery life and 10ATM water resistance. But what really sets it apart is its AI-powered health-tracking capabilities.
The Ring uses advanced sensors to monitor sleep patterns, heart rate, and even menstrual cycles. But it’s not just about collecting data; Samsung’s Galaxy AI analyzes this information to provide personalized insights and recommendations. The new Energy Score feature, for instance, evaluates your physical condition across four factors: Sleep, Activity, Sleeping Heart Rate, and Heart Rate Variability, giving you a comprehensive view of your overall wellness.
Moving on to the Galaxy Watch7, Samsung has packed this rugged smartwatch with some serious upgrades. The new BioActive Sensor offers increased accuracy for health monitoring, while the 3nm processor delivers three times faster CPU performance. But the real game-changer here is the FDA-authorized Sleep Apnea feature, which can detect signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea—a first for a smartwatch.
The Watch7 also introduces an AGEs Index, allowing users to track advanced glycation end products right from their wrist. This provides valuable insights into your biological aging process and metabolic health. And for fitness enthusiasts, the new Race feature lets you compare current and past performance in real-time, keeping you motivated during workouts.
But Samsung didn’t stop there. Enter the Galaxy Watch Ultra, the most powerful addition to the Galaxy Watch lineup. Designed for extreme durability with a Titanium Grade 4 frame and 10ATM water resistance, this watch is built for adventure. It can operate at altitudes ranging from 500 meters below sea level to 9,000 meters high, making it perfect for everything from deep-sea diving to mountain climbing.
The Watch Ultra introduces some impressive fitness features, including AI-powered Functional Threshold Power (FTP) for cycling and Personalized HR Zones for running. And with its massive 590mAh battery, you can push your limits without worrying about running out of juice.
All these devices are powered by Samsung’s Galaxy AI, which brings a new level of intelligence to wearable tech. From smart replies to voice commands, AI is integrated throughout the user experience. And with the new Wear OS 5, these watches offer smoother performance and access to a wide range of apps.
Perhaps most exciting is how these devices work together. Wearing the Galaxy Ring and Watch together provides more accurate health analysis, while pairing the Ring with a Watch can extend the Ring’s already impressive battery life by up to 30%.
The Galaxy Ring starts at $399.99, which is a $100 more costly than the Oura ring. The Watch7 is priced at $299.99, and the Watch Ultra at $649.99. All devices will be available for pre-order starting July 10th, with general availability from July 24.
