Samsung, the first major tech company to enter the smart ring market, has launched the Galaxy Ring, a wearable device aimed at health and fitness enthusiasts.

The ring uses tiny sensors to track various health metrics like heart rate, sleep, and menstrual cycles, competing with existing products like the Oura ring. 

Samsung claims the ring offers accurate, continuous health tracking and integrates with Android phones and the Samsung Health app. 

Analysts predict that while the smart ring market is currently small compared to smartwatches, Samsung's entry could increase its popularity.

However, concerns have been raised about the collection and sharing of sensitive health data.
