Choose if	You have a Samsung Galaxy phone and want sleep, heart-rate and skin-temperature tracking from a ring, without a monthly membership.	You want Oura's sleep, heart-rate and temperature-trend tracking in the previous-generation ring and don't need Ring 5's smaller size.
Main trade-off	Samsung says it needs a compatible Samsung phone, and the ring page gives no weight, warranty, return terms or accuracy figures.	You pay a yearly membership for full features, and Oura says Ring 5 is 40% smaller with greater accuracy and battery power.
Key specifications	Battery life: Up to 7 days for sizes 12 and 13, and up to 6 days for smaller sizes. Samsung says that, 'combined with a full cradle charge,' you can use the ring for up to 14 days without plugging into an outlet. Battery life isn't stated for sizes 14 and 15 Sensors: Accelerometer, optical bio-signal sensor and skin temperature sensor Subscription: None listed on Samsung's Galaxy Ring page Compatibility: Samsung's US page says the ring requires a compatible Samsung phone, the Samsung Health app and a Samsung account. The account must be registered on a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. The page doesn't mention other Android phones, iPhone or a minimum software version.

The sizing kit's sample rings cover 9 sizes, from 5 to 13	Battery life: 5 to 8 days. A charge typically takes 20 to 80 minutes, depending on battery level.

The buy page offers a free sizing kit, and the ring page says its sample rings come in 9 sizes, from 5 to 13. The kit ships to your home. You wear a sample ring for at least 24 hours, then confirm your size on the 'My Order' page.	No installation. It pairs with the Oura app on iOS or Android. It charges on the included size-specific charger with a USB-C cable. Oura offers a free sizing kit with plastic sizers before you order.
Materials	Titanium, in three scratch-resistant finishes. Samsung says the concave design minimizes scratches. It describes Titanium Black and Titanium Silver as 'matted'.	The inner and outer surfaces are titanium, and the interior has no seams. Oura says minor scratches from regular wear are normal.
Warranty	Not stated by the manufacturer on the Galaxy Ring page. The page links to Samsung's general 'Warranty Information' page without giving terms.	A 1-year protection plan is included with purchase. The product page offers upgrades to 2 years for $45 or 3 years for $60.

Refunds go to the original payment method, but original shipping and handling aren't refunded. Rings bought from other retailers follow that retailer's policy. Oura's return FAQ says to cancel the membership when you return a ring. The Ring 4 Silver product page says canceling doesn't entitle you to a full or pro-rated refund of fees you've paid. Warranty replacements can't be returned for a refund.
