4.0

I used it for a whole year, it was fun and useful, It did make me learn about myself and sleep pattern. But then some accuracy issues and the fact wearing 24/7 got to my head. Now I am back to Apple watch for steps counting.

By the time I stopped using it, it was BETA and Whoop 4.0. It wasnt accurate at all, increases while im driving the car. I dont know how it performs now. But lets its assume its perfect, i no longer want to wear something 24/7. I wear apple watch for the specific physical activity/stopwatch/timer, and sometimes its a good accessory for casual fashion.

My own personal data showed different for HR accuracy. Apple Watch Ultra 3, Pixel Watch 4, and even Garmin Forerunner 965 did very well compared to Polar H9 chest strap. The Amazfit Helio Strap was even closer. But, Whoop 4.0 and 5.0 devices are just "all over the place" for HR. I don't have an Oura to compare [https://imgur.com/a/C0eXjXl](https://imgur.com/a/C0eXjXl) These are all walking on a treadmill at 3.0 MPH to try to get an "easy" workout for the devices (so no running, no cycling, etc)

Hey ya’ll! Just wanted to post this as a thought post for those trying to decide whether or not to pull the trigger. The past year and a half of so I’ve been trying to figure out what device I like best when it comes to habit/wellness tracking. I’ve used the apple watch, whoop 4.0 and 5.0, the garmin forerunner 165 and the oura gen 4. While I had liked the apple watch for the longest time, I came to hate being constantly connected and having my wrist buzz all the time. The whoop was amazing for someone living a truly athletic life but as a general tracker, it was too in depth and almost felt like having an overbearing coach lingering on your wrist 24/7. The garmin was almost a repeat of the apple watch except I turned off all the smart notifications but still missed wearing a nice watch on a day to day basis. Myself and the Oura have had an on again off again relationship, this is the 4th time I’ve had it(returned the first three times). Ever since I returned the 3rd I realized how much I missed having such a discreet but good looking tracker that I also love the UI of. While it may not be the best “fitness tracker,” if you interpret your data correctly, it can help you take the habits you build and lock them in to be just that little bit healthier every time you make the connections. I’m hoping that even just this bit of rambling and getting thoughts out will help someone make the decision and make it that little bit easier.

The whoop was probably my least favorite between the nitty gritty data of the app, the constant notifs that it would send but also how bulky it feels compared to oura.

Appreciate this! I went all in for a 5.0 Life. It went back last week (broken strap and bad sensor). Reverted back to 4.0 which was and is great! But that only lasts until Feb, so thinking about what is next. There is a Morepro "lookalike" for $190. Anyone with any experience with that?

I could talk about wearables for hours, I’ve spent all of this year looking for the perfect set up. I just turned 30 so I’m taking care of health more and also that of my family. WHOOPs concept is great, the execution not so much. I have had the whoop 4, and 3 whoop MGs because not only their heart rate tracker is god awful there’s certain edge cases in the app that mess it connection up that the only solution is to get another one shipped to you and their customer service you have to go through 3-4 emails with their AI before you get a person. Battery life is great and all but I used my Apple Watch Oura ring and treadmill heart rate sensor and everything but whoop aligned in a light jog I was at 130ish and all the WHOOPs I had I ran the same test they go all over the place and there’s a severe lag. of course the price too is an issue, for me money wouldn’t be an issue if the product actually allowed me to meet my goals but Jesus Christ the inaccuracy is crazy my heart rate says it was 150 walking my dog but Oura and Apple Watch clocked at 80-90 and when I went to talk about it with their support again it’s like 4 days of back and forth with their AI until you get someone and then it’s more back and forth plus I don’t trust them after their lie of always upgrading the product for free just keep the subscription. Also not too mention I got a nasty rash with all the whoops on my wrist not matter the band, always drying it after workouts, etc. never happened with Apple Watch even with cheap Amazon bands. Oura is right now of this post #1 in the App Store, they’re a European company and the EU health laws I trust WAY more than the US. They are locking in contracts on top of contracts and making the product better just make sure you get the warranty cause the battery does die after like 2.5 years but at that point it’s just physics it’s a small battery. They also are in health study after health study and you’re seeing a lot more people wearing them and making people more health conscious. The quantified scientist on YouTube always clocks the heart rate of Apple Watch the best, then Oura, then whoops and garmins. Oura is your overall wellness and recovery partner Apple Watch is your productivity and fitness partner After a year of countless trials and thousands of $$ of personal research it’s the best combo.
