Galaxy Ring Tip: How to measure your heart rate automatically or manually during workouts

In July 2024, Samsung added a new device to its Wearable lineup – the Galaxy Ring. Featuring a sleek design and several health-tracking functions, the Samsung Galaxy Ring provides a convenient way to monitor your heart rate during exercise.

Users of the Galaxy Ring can easily measure their heart rate, as the device offers both automatic and manual measurement options. The Galaxy Ring automatically tracks your heart rate during walking and running if you have turned on the automatic exercise recognition function.

Also, users can manually check their heart rate during walking, running, treadmill workouts, indoor cycling, and outdoor cycling using the Samsung Health app. Check out the simple steps to use these features.

Once activated, the Samsung Galaxy Ring will automatically measure your heart rate during walking and running.
