Samsung Galaxy Ring collects health data without complicated interface

Samsung revealed new details at Monday's tech conference after teasing the product at a press conference earlier this year, CNBC reported.

Wired learned the following about the ring at a roundtable event Monday:

• The Galaxy Ring will be marketed for people who want the benefits of tracking their health data without having to learn a new device as the data feeds to a Samsung app.
• The data collected will be more from sleep and health than fitness. For example, the Samsung ring will not have workout auto-detection feature that the Oura Ring provides.
• It will provide fertility tracking.
• It is not intended to replace the Samsung Galaxy Watch series, and using both at the same time could improve the data users receive.
