WATCH ULTRA VS GALAXY RING SAMPLE TESTING FIRST THOUGHTS

[lminvti]

Hi everyone, it's @lminvti here back with more sample testing. 

Now im testing galaxy watch ultra and galaxy ring. 

So far im impressed by galaxy rings battery life and acurate measuring compared to galaxy watch ultra.

Both are rechargeable with USB C charger 

Galaxy watch ultra has a magnetic charger and

Galaxy ring on the other hand had a case you charge and ring itself charging in the case only, really great thing to have just in case you running out of battery you can take out the case and charger it anywhere.

Galaxy ring measure my sleep patterns, exercising, etc more accurately, but for me the the problem is that there's no screen.Whenever I need to check my notifications or quickly reply I deeply rely on my watch ultra when im wearing galaxy ring i need to take out my phone. That being said I don't think galaxy ring is a bad alternative. Not at all. But For me screen and quick replies means a lot and im not much of a gym guy (but I do go gym every other day) but so far i got 7 days battery life from ring while watch ultra is 2.1 days long (no GPS and data on watch) and a bit more acurate fitness tracking records from the ring.

I tried watch ultra before and i said i didn't liked it just because of bulkines of it but i got used to it and now testing it for for longer it looks great as i no longer notice the bulkines of the watch, the white colour looks really beautiful and I believe i needed more time to spent with the watch ultra, and the galaxy ring (as its my first time I'm testing galaxy ring) this is my first thoughts and so far my opinion is:

Watch ultra : 

- Looks great as I'm finally got used to the "bulkines" of the watch 

- Great measurements (compered to my watch 7 44mm) way more acurate 

- no more "no wrist detected" notifications.

- has a really great and bright screen 

- more durable than watch 7 

Galaxy ring : 

- bit more acurate readings than the watch 

- bit loose 

- if you have to pick (gray is the best colour) 

- ring kit might be needed as my ring size is 13 but 13 was bit loose but it works on some of my fingers.

- lack of NFC 

- great alternative for athletes or people who's in fitness who's don't want to wear a watch or for people who just want acurate sleep, fitness, health tracking.

- really good built quality

- price point is a bit too much as if you want something who will get your notifications and quick replies better off with watch 

- has a charging case with internal battery 

This is my initial and first thoughts on galaxy ring and watch ultra. Stay tuned for more.

So many people posting about the Ring- trying not to spend on "unneeded items"

Great little writeup. As a Galaxy Watch 7 owner, it's absolutely great for health.

[lminvti]

Yes i found that the ultras battery is better than my watch 7 44 mm and more acurate, also ring is even better in terms of battery and more acurate readings if you are in fitness and don't need a screen.

The ring having a charging case is HUGE for me....so convenient.

Problem is my "sport" is lifting weights and obviously not something I can wear for that

[lminvti]

Yes i guess, that's where my other testings will be posted, as i tried ring and when I've bench pressed your fingers obviously will swell up a bit and might have a discomfort but haven't felt it with bigger sized ring, neither of watch as I can adjust the strap at the end of the day it all comes to preferences.

Have to do more testing tho as I've tried ultra vs regular watch 7 and I disliked ultra due to bulky feeling but now I feel it's more appealing to me and I feel more comfortable with it 😌

@lminvti An interesting and valuable initial review,sufficient detail but also very much to the point.

I am sure folk will have different opinions but Whilst Ring can be attractive the watch will be a better option for a number. Interesting that you liked the Galaxy Watch Ultra better this time.

Thank you @JAMES4578 🙏

Yet still more testing to be done, wanted to point main key points. I agree watch is more appealing to most of the people including me as I've mentioned it, but still yet bit more testing on the ring to do, also the price point is a bit high that could also be a thought for people as you can get watch 7 for half the price (since it's on discount now)

Yes it kinda stuck with me after using it for longer, also got better measurements from ultra and not longer get "no wrist detected" still think it's bulky but im starting to like it now. 😁

Yes good points,does take a bit of time for a comprehensive comparison. Suppose for some Watch Ultra just takes a bit of time to get used to. 🙏
