Smart rings are gradually becoming a new trend in the technology market with one of the most prominent products today being the Galaxy Ring.
The Galaxy Ring is highly appreciated for its design mainly for health monitoring, with the ability to measure skin temperature
, heart rate, number of steps, sleep or blood oxygen concentration (SpO2).
However, not only the Galaxy Ring but also many other smart rings have limitations such as not being able to receive notifications from the phone, not having
GPS to track distance when running and not being compatible with third-party applications.
Having to check information via phone will cause certain inconvenience for users.

On the other hand, wearables like the Apple Watch have proven to be superior in health tracking and offer a host of additional features,
o Samsung has reason to be concerned about the emergence of an Apple smart ring as recently leaked.
The good news for Samsung is that Apple doesn’t seem to have any real plans to enter the market yet.
This is partly because miniaturizing sensors into a ring could result in inaccurate measurements.

For Apple, the company only wants to enter markets that ensure safety, so the limitations of smart rings are really not suitable.
Moreover, Apple Watch has proven to be superior in health monitoring and provides many features such as replying to messages, making calls, tracking sports activities, making payments.
These features make Apple Watch an irreplaceable product.
Compared to the Apple Watch, smart rings like the Galaxy Ring don’t seem to have much of an advantage, except for catering to people who don’t like wearing watches.
Furthermore, while the Galaxy Ring and the Apple Watch Series 10 are priced similarly, Apple’s product offers more value to users.
For Apple, the Apple Watch is doing a great job of health tracking.

With both devices serving similar purposes, Apple’s investment in a smart ring may not be a huge benefit to the company.
The Apple Watch has been on the market for 10 years and has already established itself. Rather than developing a new product that is on par with its competitors,
Apple is likely to focus on improving and enhancing its current product.
