5.0/MG

So subscription aside what makes it better than Whoop? The sleep tracking, heart rate, steps counter and a few other features are significantly more accurate than whoop straps. I did a side by side comparison for 18 months with my whoop straps, Garmin watch, Oura ring and helio amazstrap. The garmin

FWIW: I wear a Whoop (optical HR monitor) on my upper arm 24/7. I barely notice it. For 98% of my rides, I just use the data from the whoop strap instead of my garmin chest strap. I have compared the 2 of them multiple times by double recording and the whoop is usually 99% in-line with the garmin. A

Amazfit and oura both auto-detect my commutes to work as a workout. That's actually good to know. I've had whoop straps and they didn't even auto detect my mild workouts but my helio will auto detect a hot shower or a mild drive as an exercise. I'm thinking about getting a garmin to do a side by sid

I used to be a whoop customer. Ended my subscription after they scammed me with the release of the 4.0 forcing me to pay for a hardware upgrade which they stated contractually was free. I switched to the helio strap + bevel instead and can say it’s very close to what whoop offers. I even bought a cu

No. Pick any of the other ones. I have had the Helio and the Whoop strap and the data is way better from Helio, Whoop only has a great app but the data that it works with is trash. Also the company handles itself very shadily and TBH I wouldn't recommend going there ever. Go Helio or FitBit and give

I saw someone do this with a whoop band and an omega speedmaster recently, really clever idea but apparently it can’t read as well on the underside. For some bands, there’s aftermarket bicep straps which could be an option for the Fitbit air eventually

You can't compare Whoop and Bevel+Apple, that is like comparing apples and oranges. The Whoop band is a screenless inaccurate health and wellness device, not a fitness tracker despite what their marketing says, that has one purpose and even at that it does not do a great job. The heart rate data is

helio strap Give it a few weeks to get your proper metrics. I had whoop straps for years and oura and did a side by side test with all four and the oura, garmin and helio strap were with 1.5% of each other for sleep times and heart rates. The whoop strap was off by 25%-35% from the other devices for

I wear it on wrist. Tried bicep a few times and didn't see a significant difference and wrist is more comfortable for me. I recently did a three night test wearing Helio Strap, Whoop Strap and Oura Ring, and comparing numbers in a table. I felt the Helio Strap was the most realistic and consistent o

https://gadgetsandwearables.com/2024/07/22/apple-vs-garmin-vo2max/ I had a Whoop strap and I was surprised about the results of a comparison by The Quantified Scientist of Whoop VO2max measurements to official lab tests: Whoop was only -2 points off so at least it works for him.
