The Samsung Galaxy Ring, the much-anticipated health and wellness wearable, is finally here! Following months of speculation and leaks, the ring is now available for pre-orders, promising to compete with the popular Oura Ring. One of the key features that many are interested in is its water resistance. While finding a truly waterproof wearable device can be a challenge, the Galaxy Ring comes pretty close with its IP68 rating.
This rating signifies that the ring is dust-tight, meaning it can withstand exposure to small particles like sand and other materials. It is also water-resistant, allowing it to be submerged in water up to 1.5 meters for a maximum of 30 minutes. This means you can wear the Galaxy Ring while swimming or showering without worry. However, it’s important to note that the IP68 rating doesn’t make the ring fully waterproof. Samsung advises against wearing it during water sports such as skiing, tubing, or activities with high water pressure.
Another common question regarding the Galaxy Ring is about its charging case. Unfortunately, the charging case for the Galaxy Ring is not waterproof. It’s best to keep it dry and away from moisture to ensure optimal functionality.
