After its global launch in July, the Samsung Galaxy Ring is finally coming to Canada. It will hit the Samsung Experience Stores in the country starting October 3. You can visit the nearest brick-and-mortar store for a hands-on experience with the new smart ring. You can also order the Galaxy Ring through samsung.com/ca and at participating authorized Canadian retailers.

The Samsung Galaxy Ring costs $549.99, and the sizing kit is sold separately for $14.99. It's one of the more expensive smart rings available, but the upside is it doesn't come with a subscription to use the wearable.
