That definitely sounds frustrating, especially since the Galaxy Ring is designed to last nearly a week. The fact that it 'fully charges' in 5 minutes is a major red flag—it usually indicates that the battery’s reporting software is out of sync or, more likely, the battery cell itself has failed.
Here is what I would recommend doing before your warranty expires:
Perform a Hard Reset: Try unpairing the ring and performing a factory reset through the Galaxy Wearable app. This can sometimes clear up software glitches that cause rapid drain. Check for 'Ghost' Battery Drain: Ensure there isn't a specific feature (like continuous heart rate or stress monitoring) that accidentally got toggled to a higher frequency in the settings. Don't Wait for an Update: If a reset doesn't fix it within 24 hours, claim that warranty now. A jump from 6 days to less than 1 day is a hardware-level failure (likely a degraded lithium-ion cell). Samsung’s limited warranty typically covers battery defects for the first year, but they may become more difficult to work with once that window closes.
Better to have a fresh, working unit now than a paperweight in two months!
