Earlier this year, the company filed a patent with the Korean Intellectual Property Right Information Services titled “Galaxy Ring.” It described the ring simply as a device for “measuring health indicators and/or sleep.” The rumor fell on the heels of Samsung partnering with Natural Cycles for period tracking, which factors in body temperature to deliver advice and seems precisely the intended use case for a smart ring. But this is familiar territory for Samsung, as it’s been exploring the idea of a smart ring since at least 2015.
I desperately need the Galaxy ring to have an NFC chip, to be a wearable payment ring. I have used my McClear BankWest Halo ring for years now. However, it is discontinued and expires in Feb.
I need need this to be a wearable payment device as well. NFC chip in a ring, you got this Samsung!
