Your support makes all the difference.It’s official: smart rings are the hottest gadget of 2024. Earlier this year, Samsung finally entered the wearables market with its first-ever Galaxy smart ring, and several others quickly followed suit.
Offering a discreet alternative to smartwatches and fitness trackers, smart rings pack advanced features like health monitoring, sleep tracking and even stress management, all in a sleek, minimalist design – but they don’t come cheap.
While I adore the Samsung Galaxy ring, it does have a pretty hefty price tag. Thankfully, if you’ve been looking to invest in the wearable, Samsung’s Black Friday sale has brought with it a significant discount on the Galaxy ring, making it more affordable than ever.
Slashed in price by £50, it’s the Galaxy ring’s first ever discount, and it’s not the only smart ring on sale – the Oura ring 3 is also discounted this Black Friday.

Launched in the summer, the Galaxy ring boasts features such as heart rate tracking, stress monitoring and sleep analysis, plus AI-driven wellness tips. As I mentioned in my review, the smart ring is a great alternative to the Oura Ring, offering a similar feature set but with the bonus of no subscription fees and gesture support.
The benefit of the Galaxy ring is its seamless integration with other Samsung Galaxy devices – perfect if you’re already using the brand’s tech. The sleek design includes a clear charging case with Find My technology, which makes it easy to charge and keep track of the ring.
Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or looking to track your wellness, this is a strong deal for anyone who’s fully invested in the Samsung ecosystem.
