Our take
Scoring an impressive 89/100 — the highest of any smart ring we track — the Galaxy Ring 2 is Samsung's bet that your finger is the next frontier for health tracking.
No subscription fees (take that, Oura), Galaxy AI-powered health insights, gesture controls for your phone, 5-day battery life, and 10ATM water resistance for swimming. It's the only smart ring with deep BioActive sensor integration for heart rate, SpO2, and skin temperature. Build quality scores 85/100 in Grade 5 titanium.
The elephant in the room: this only works fully with Samsung Galaxy phones. That compatibility score of 35/100 is brutal. iPhone users, Android users on Pixel or OnePlus — you're locked out of the best features. And at $399.99, it's the most expensive smart ring we track.
The price data shows it's been as low as $169, and Amazon has it at $279. That's a significant gap from the $399.99 MSRP. "Fair price" momentum means the current price is okay, but deep discounts exist if you're patient.
Bottom line: Buy if you're a Samsung Galaxy user and can find it under $300 — it's genuinely innovative. Skip if you're on any other phone.
