Introduced in July 2024, the Samsung Galaxy Ring marks Samsung’s entry into the smart ring market. It seamlessly integrates with Samsung devices, giving users access to health data like heart rate, stress levels, sleep analysis and menstrual cycle tracking through the Samsung Health app.

Released in early 2024, the Circular Ring Slim is one of the thinnest smart rings on the market, measuring just 2.2 mm in thickness. Made from an aluminum and carbon fiber case, it offers health-tracking features such as heart rate monitoring, sleep quality analysis, blood oxygen saturation and body temperature monitoring.
Users can choose between two models: one with vibrations (US$294) or one without (US$239). The vibrating model includes a haptic feedback system that provides reminders for medication, breathing exercises and wellness insights, all powered by Circular’s Kira AI personal assistant.
The Circular Ring Slim’s battery life varies depending on the mode: up to five days in eco mode (which limits tracking ability) and about two days in performance mode. It is available in black and silver and does not require a recurring subscription, though the company has said optional premium features might be added in the future.
Amazfit Helio Ring

Made from premium titanium alloy, the Amazfit Helio Ring is both durable and lightweight. A single charge can power the ring for up to four days. It is priced at US$169.99, which includes lifetime access to the Zepp Fitness app and Zepp Coach™ Premium, an AI-powered coaching service.

For those who love luxury and technology, the VERTU AI Diamond Ring is a true statement piece. Released in late 2024, this ring features a double-layered body crafted from sterling silver and stainless steel, adorned with cubic zirconia diamonds. However, this added bling makes it heavier than most smart rings, weighing 13 grams, compared to others that typically weigh between 2.5 and 5 grams. Another standout feature is non-invasive blood glucose monitoring, powered by a high-precision PPG sensor chip—a unique feature among smart rings.
The battery of the VERTU AI Diamond Ring can last up to ten days, and it comes with a jewelry case-style charger for quick recharges. The Galaxy edition retails for US$1,140, but other models—such as Afterglow (US$820), Flowing Light (US$980), Sanskrit prajña (US$660) and Shadow Pair (US$820)—are also available.
