Os wearables from Samsung are not exactly new in the technology market, but when it comes to health, the company has tried to invest more in the segment. Proof of this were some of the launches made in 2024 at July’s Galaxy Unpacked: the Galaxy Ring and the Galaxy Watch7.
Both devices are examples of how technology can be an interesting ally for those who want to improve their quality of life, in addition to monitoring the most minute details of their own health.
The monitoring features of wearables are advanced and offer tools that help improve and evaluate sleep quality, cardiovascular frequency and physical exercise. All of these aspects are part of Samsung’s idea of promoting a healthier lifestyle.

“The ring and watch, combined with Samsung Health, bring a customized approach. They help people monitor their health and well-being, showing results and developments in a practical way”, said Renato Citrini, senior product manager at Samsung Brazil’s Mobile Experience division, to Infomoney.
He sees the devices as an opportunity for those who are sedentary and want an initial stimulus to start practicing physical activities, as a way to keep up with their daily lives.

One of the main functions of both Watch7 and Ring is sleep monitoring.
According to Citrini, knowing about sleep is one of the most important parts of health care, as it is the only part that we cannot know consciously. This way, wearables come into play.
The Galaxy Ring is the star of the show when it comes to sleep. The device is designed to be discreet and comfortable, with state-of-the-art sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to accurately analyze sleep patterns. “The ring weighs just 3 to 4 grams and is made of titanium,” says Citrini.

“It is much more comfortable for monitoring sleep, but also for reporting other vital data about the body.”
Samsung has a variety of sizes for the Galaxy Ring, so by choosing the right one, the user doesn’t have to worry about experiencing discomfort in their hands while sleeping – which can’t be said about the Galaxy Watch7, as it is naturally larger. heavy and takes up more space in the body.

“With sleep monitoring, you can simply lie down, sleep, and get detailed measurements.”
The Galaxy Watch, in addition to also offering detailed sleep analysis, has the advantage of sleep apnea detection and the “Sleep Score” functionality, which compiles the data into an easy-to-interpret metric (comparing the type of sleep of animals wild).
“As the ring measures blood oxygenation, it can assess possible episodes of apnea during the night,” said Citrini. In this analysis, the score covers the following topics:
- I’m time: total sleep duration;
- Sleep score: sleep quality on a scale from “Excellent” to “Needs attention”;
- Sleep stages: graph of the different stages and their duration;
- Blood oxygen: percentage of oxygen during sleep.
- Snoring detection: time spent snoring;
- Skin temperature: variation in body temperature while sleeping;
- Sleep consistency: days of the week when you reached your sleep goals;
- Animal do I am: Customized symbol based on sleep pattern.
With all this information, features like “Sleep Training” help users create healthier habits, such as sleeping at consistent times and performing relaxing activities before bed.

Taking care of your heart intelligently
Another focus for Samsung is cardiovascular health, present in all of the brand’s wearables. In the case of Watch7 and Ring, both have features such as heart rate monitoring, but each offers specific advantages.
Galaxy Ring includes real-time notifications of abnormal heart rates, helping you identify irregularities quickly. It also assesses heart rate variability (HRV) during sleep, an important indicator of physical and mental health.
The Galaxy Watch goes further, with an integrated ECG, which allows the detection of possible arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation. In addition to the traditional sensors, it has an AGE reader (advanced glycation products), with more health metrics linked to Samsung Health, a free application for Android and iOS.
Altogether, with the integration of all systems, wearables become ideal for an emergency, for example, being able to detect problems early.

Performance and motivation in physical exercises
For those who want to improve their exercise routine, Watch7 monitors more than 100 types of workouts, from simple activities like walking to high-performance exercises like triathlons.
With features such as the Multisport Block and Functional Threshold Power (FTP) for cycling, they are aimed at athletes who want to advance through detailed metrics, managing to optimize their training.
The Galaxy Ring, although more discreet, also contributes to physical performance, monitoring indicators such as calories burned, daily activity and stress levels. The devices also have automatic step counting.

Why choose a wearable?
One of the biggest differences from other devices on the market is its integration with Samsung Health, which is available for Android and iOS, that is, if the user has an iPhone but wants to use the watch and ring, it is also possible, without any type of additional cost.
The app centralizes all collected metrics, transforming raw data into useful, easy-to-understand insights, which also makes self-care more cohesive and accessible.
“The focus is much more on well-being. With automatic monitoring of physical activities and sleep, the user begins to understand their general condition”, added the executive.
Whether to improve sleep, monitor heart health or improve athletic performance, the Galaxy Ring and Galaxy Watch bring features that suit different user profiles.
