Amazfit Helio Ring Review: a lightweight smart ring that’s good, but still a bit rough

★★★★★ ★★★★★

Samsung Galaxy Ring Review: a neat health tracker that feels like a beta product

★★★★★ ★★★★★

The Samsung Galaxy Ring is a cool idea that only half-delivers in real life. As a low-profile health tracker, it works: it tracks sleep, heart rate, stress, and activity reasonably well, and the data in Samsung Health is clear enough.
