Samsung Galaxy Ring Review: a neat health tracker that feels half-finished and overpriced

★★★★★ ★★★★★

Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Ring is a nice idea with uneven execution. The hardware looks good, feels solid, and is more discreet than a smartwatch.

Runlio Fitness Tracker Review: a cheap step counter that’s fine if you keep your expectations low

★★★★★ ★★★★★

After a couple of weeks with the Runlio Fitness Tracker, my take is pretty straightforward: it’s a cheap, basic band that does the job at a surface level, but you have to accept its flaws. The step counter and sleep monitor give you a general idea of your activity and nights, but they’re not super a...
