A fun surprise at Unpacked today was the tease of Samsung’s first health and fitness tracking ring. Named Galaxy Ring, the device will take on products like Oura as an alternative to Galaxy Watch or Apple Watch.

Samsung just gave a short tease of the upcoming product saying:

We’ve created a powerful and accessible health and wellness device here to change the shape of future health like only Samsung can. Meet the Galaxy Ring.

No launch or price details for now, but we may hear more in the middle of the year.
