7 days until Christmas: Galaxy Ring as a gift against screen fatigue

Having near-instant access to all the information that we have today is extraordinary. But one of the downsides of being too embedded in the digital world is screen fatigue. And that is why we think the Galaxy Ring can potentially be a great Christmas gift in 2025.

That is, assuming that you are in a position to gift someone a ring without the risk of sending the wrong message. You'll probably want to avoid accidentally proposing.

But if giving someone the wrong idea isn't a factor and you know someone in your life who wants to take their eyes off screens without giving up modern tech entirely, the Galaxy Ring might be your answer.

When dealing with screen fatigue, you can mitigate it by either ignoring tech for a while or trying to stay connected with technology by using screenless devices. Samsung's Galaxy Ring is a good recent example that can balance the connected and screenless worlds.

The Galaxy Ring offers health and fitness tracking features comparable to a premium Galaxy Watch. It collects the data and sends it to Samsung Health on a connected smartphone, but it doesn't have a way to display any information on its own. And in this case, that's a plus.

This device can quietly track fitness activities, offer sleep insights and wellness tips, and monitor sleep quality. It also offers temperature-based cycle tracking, SpO2 monitoring, and even ways to control alarms through gestures.

It does all this without distracting in the process. Whenever you feel ready to check your data, you can do so via the mobile Samsung Health app on your phone.

One other advantage of the screenless design is battery life. If you're looking for fewer tech distractions, charging can become annoying. Thankfully, the Galaxy Ring will outlast any Samsung smartwatch by a few days on a single charge.

The Ring's battery life differs based on several factors, including the size of the Ring itself. Larger models have room for slightly bigger batteries, and Samsung offers the Galaxy Ring in eleven sizes.

Of course, you should choose the Ring's size based on the wearer's ring size rather than battery specs. And if you must find out that information but don't have the right tools for the job, Samsung offers the official Sizing Kit for free.

True enough, trying the Sizing Kit on someone who doesn't know your plans to buy the Galaxy Ring is likely impossible. In preparation, you might give away the gift and spoil the surprise. Needless to say, buying the Galaxy Ring as a gift can be tricky. But if you can pull it off, it might be a fantastic choice for a loved one who wants more screenless tech.

In essence, the Galaxy Ring can be described as the most advanced screenless mobile device Samsung offers in 2025. Usually, it's not cheap, but you might find it at a discount before Christmas. Right now, it's $120 and £100 off in the USA and the UK.
