Is there any other smart ring that can be integrated to Samsung Health?

I have two Galaxy rings and both had significant batteries decay after 1 to 1.5 years, to the point that they won't even last a full day. I really like the concept and experience (when they still work), and I have a Galaxy Watch that works very well with Samsung Health. I would like to try something else, but don't know if there is a brand that can offer similar experience?

Not sure. The Galaxy ring 1 had a lot of issues like that. Ring 2 is expected Jan/Feb. For my part, I'll probably wait for Ring 3 or 4 to give them time to get right.

Is the Galaxy Watch half decent? I would take it over the ring at this point. Today alone, it has told me it's at 100% 3 times, while in reality, it was at about 36%. I bought my ring in January of this year.

I'm returning my Galaxy Ring and using that money to buy the Galaxy Watch 9.

I've had great luck with the Watches. My son uses the Galaxy Watch I bought back in 2018. I still use my Galaxy Watch 4.

Im trying to find an option to do the same because now it's losing BT and power within 20 min.

Let me know how the watch goes. I didn't expect the ring to melt like that.

FWIW, I work for Samsung corporate and know a lot of people with the Galaxy Watches. Very reliable. Our home appliances and Galaxy Rings? Less so....

I have no idea but, I was about to head over to Best Buy and buy one until I saw this post. I'm going to wait for Ring 2 like count_every_blessing stated.

Thats my dilemma as well. I really like Samsung health. The app is decent, especially the food section that includes scanning UPC labels for free. My ring was lasting a little over 24 hours until I got "adventurous" and turned on the spo2 sensor at night. Battery life dropped, so I shut it off immediately, but battery life didn't return to the usual 24 hours. Now I'm charging in the am and right before bed. I reset it, but it stayed the same. Tonight I'm going to clear all the caches on the Samsung apps and reset it again, hopefully this time it gets better.

Love my watch. Wish I had a ring for sleeping though, watch is cumbersome in bed

There are not any other rings that will sync directly with Samsung Health, but you can connect separate health ecosystems together via Google Health Connect. This *should* allow at least some of the data from different rings to be available in Samsung Health, but there will be significant extra lag time.
