Apple Watch vs Whoop vs UltraHuman Ring - Which is best? 

Love the idea of the Whoop strap. I just wish it didn’t have a subscription service and was just a one time cost

This whole "buy a physical product and than pay extra for a subscription model" is an entire scam. So I am basically investing in a company, and I am at their mercy when it comes to pricing. Because if they change the pricing and I don't want to use the service anymore, I am stuck with a +200$ investment. I'd never buy such a product.

This was an epic video. Loved how you put everything together. You even answered the question I had at the end about what's the best combo depending on your lifestyle. Thanks Oliur

Amazing video. Been wondering how accurate a tracking ring could be compared to other devices and I'm pleasantly surprised! Just a note about you having trouble sleeping 9 hours, that's not a bad thing!! Average adults require between 7:30 and 8 hours of sleep to reach optimal form when everything else (exercise and nutrition) is, again, average. The fact you managed to reach 7 hours so consistently with the life and schedule you have is already very impressive imo

That Ultrahuman ring immediately caught my eye. Was somewhat disappointed with the Oura ring since it’s a subscription based service.

So ultrahuman is the way to go. Thanks ! I really wanted an Oura ring but I refuse to pay monthly for something right now. I’m trying to down size and cannot afford that life style right now.

That questionnaire is so important at the start for whoop coz end of week or month it will give you a detailed report using those questionnaire answers

I don't have enough space on my arms to carry all these fitness trackers!

had the same opinion on calorin tracking for workouts with my normal Apple watch, but for nearly a year I have used the apple watch ultra and it looks way more correct with this one.

Used both the Apple Watch and Whoop for 2.5 years but once the AW8 came out I just stuck with the watch. I figured I would always need the time for the gym or while running, and once the 8 came out with the improved battery life I was finally able to use it throughout the day and night for sleep tracking. The Whoop was also wildly inaccurate when it came to sports with heavy hand movement (Tennis, Football, etc.).

whoop is insanely detailed. It's almost overwhelming how much it tracks and how much info you get from it. Was super useful to me as a college athlete, but since then it just feels way over the top.

15:33 On calories. Be sure to check your weight is accurate and your using a proper heart rate monitor. I use a polar hear rate monitor paired to the watch directly and the calorie counting is far better for workouts especially runs and HIT. This is likely because the watch samples heart rates at a lower rate. It can be as bad as every 5 seconds whereas polar can get multiple readings per second.

The app Athyltic on the Watch is very similar to the whoop app. It isn't quite as good but it still gives you tons more insight. I do wish the whoop would pull in data straight from the health app so you could use the watch as an alternative.

I'd have loved it if Oliur had used the Athlytic App in Conjuntion with the Apple Watch and maybe have thrown in a Garmin Fenix into the mix as that thing is amazing for fitness!!

Great video! I have personally started with the OURA ring which I've used for about 18 months. It started bothering me at night as I often have my hand under the pillow and it started to create too much pressure and I woke up frequently. My second purchase was the Whoop band... super comfortable also at night but significantly different in sleep tracking results compared to the OURA ring. Sleep tracking was my main objective so I find it confusing that the results can be that much different. With the OURA ring it is pretty much impossible to get a rating above 95 vs. the Whoop band gives you 100% quite easily, which is also the reason why so many influencers brag about their great sleeping results with that band :) I certainly did not like the monthly fee with OURA and after I have learned what I could learn with it I stopped my subscription and sold the ring. The Whoop band is even more expensive monthly which is why I think about getting the Apple watch as well, so this video is very helpful!!

I wish I didn't hate wearing my Apple Watch to bed so much. I've tried 6-7 times now and it always ends up bothering me so much I take it off. Maybe I should get a ring or something

Ooooh would love to see you using a CGM next !!

I use a garmin instinct 2. I’ve had an apple watch (twice, different models) and oura ring. Settled on the garmin. Best blend of all the stats tracking / sleep / HR / body battery / stress levels / recovery status

paying a subscription for a device i purchased is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. you end up paying waaaay more in the long term that's ridiculous.

I have worn an Apple Watch since launch. I have worn a Whoop since 2017. I also use a Polar H10 chest strap and tried an Oura Ring. I view the Polar H10 to be the most accurate and have calibrated it at a sports medicine center. The closest device for activity tracking is the Apple Watch without question. It is virtually equivalent to my Polar H10. I find the Apple Watch far more confortable. However, the Apple Watch does not have well developed recovery tracking because it does not measure HRV automatically. The Whoop is great for sleep and recovery but absolutely terrible for activity tracking. It has the lowest correlation to the Polar H10. The Ring is great for tracking sleep and recovery. It actually was better at tracking activity than the Whoop. Ideally, I would have Apple but Whoop so that the algorithms/software that make Whoop great, could leverage the Apple Watch’s data tracking. This video was helpful but makes me think I should cancel my Whoop and stick with the Apple Watch…

The b-roll for that sponsorship was 👌

Love your videos! What strap are you using on your apple watch? Looks cool. Thanks

I love the idea of a ring, which is why I purchased the Motiv ring when it came out. They ended up selling the technology and went out of business a year or so later. I wasted $200+. I won't do that again!

Does the health app import the sleep and recovery score data from the ultrahuman ring?

I am not interested in any of these, but gotta say that thumbnail pic was WOW great work man

You should definetly try some Garmin device. Body battery there is amazing. I track every day for over 2 years and there was none with inconsistency measuring. And if you look there at sleep score, rest HR and body battery as a complex number, there is amazing tracking - sometimes you can have long sleep and so good score, but at the same time you can feel not so good - and i will it as low body battery (in case of alcohol in the evening or hard training, whatever).

What is cool about the whoop over any device is it is all based on strain. As an example, if I sat at my desk all day my whoop would say my strain is low and to get out there and walk, run or whatever I wanted to do. If I dont even start an activity but work hard in the warehouse all day my heart rate goes up and gives me credit for strain. It takes that automatically as basically a workout. Unless you start your Garmin as a work out while let’s say working a job all it will do is drain your body battery and not give you any load. The other day just for the heck of it I decided to put my watch on cardio on my Garmin and do my normal work activities while working and in 2 hours gave me load of 100. If I wouldn’t have started the workout it would have done nothing but drain my body battery and gave me steps for the day. My whoop counted it all automatically.

Great review....Thank You

Long time Oura user with new Apple Watch Ultra 2 owner and would really like to see that. My Oura Ring has no fees as I was there at the start.

Hi, is there a way i can see apple watch data and compare things between different dates? I can't find anything neither via the apple watch nor the health app on iphone

3 days before I got my whoop, Its amazing but subscription model is wried, anyway! I feel like everyone talking about whoop on internet! I think Whoop marketing team is working really hard!

great vid mate

Oliur, I'd love to see you try the Zoe Glucose Monitor. I've seen a lot of positive feedback, as its measuring your internals and they have a cool app to go with it. Would love to hear back 👊

Great review!!

What about Apple Watch with apps like Superset Health or Athlytic?

What’s the difference between the UltraHuman Ring and Oura ring?

I have the Ultrahuman it gives me all the information I need. I'm not that pedantic. I think that it's improved via updates alot. My only critiques are I wish they offered half sizes for the ring. And that it can be uncomfortable for some weight lifting.

A one-year later video would be cool!

I like to see you compare the Ultrahuman to the Garmin 265 and another wearable of your choice…

Have you tried the Oura Ring or a Garmin watch?

Nice video.Apple watch has problem in reading the heart rate in the middle of the workout for couple mins.

Really good video but I’m out when it comes to subscriptions for trackers

How you track sleeping with Apple Watch? I have Series 3, and I don't know if it's possible with this device. What app do you use?

Which one is best for detecting heartbeat? Do any of them show ECG info or similar?

so wonderful beautiful video Oliur i love it so much to see so nice

Is there any Apple Watch App that specifically uses the well-measured data recorded by the watch (not gathering themselves) and puts it into a nice interface with sleep and readiness score?

and oliur had us fooled all this time that his diet consisted of fancy restaurant meals and chicken and rice

i wonder if the whoop and ring would pair well together? 🤔

Where/ how do you keep track of what you eat? Find it the most distressful of all things to do. Thanks

Where did you get the jumper from?

Love your videos

Dude thanks for doing this, I'm getting the ring then! Also, what's the song at 9:22? 👀

tried whoop and stayed with the watch. Dont like the subscription model at all, rather pay 500 upfront and have the device forever with trade in option maybe, than paying 20+ a month. Also whoop track a lot effortlessly but when its about to work out at the gym you need to put he exercises and reps manually, apple watch (with external app) can detect that by itself, also kinda like to have an option to skip my music, change volume on the go and see heart rate within seconds or always with AOD, dont want to use my phone to see the stats. So for this reason stayed with apple watch also the answering phone calls and pinging a phone is a must. However the sleep stats and recovery score, smart alarm with whoop is the top of the league however its not worth paying 20£ a month to see the sleep stats (at least for me, there are freak people who will pay and are paying for this)

such a good video! Music slaps too :)

where did you get the apple watch strap from?

Loved this video, Oliur. Would love to see another one of these videos comparing it with the Apple Watch Ultra Gen 2.

Hey whats your MagSafe stand?

As a runner, I personally love my Whoop. It's definitely not perfect, but it's helpful to have some data to go on. Is this device for everyone, definitely not.

for WHOOP, what's keeping me from subscribing, is the complete lack of glanceable indication, mainly that of heart rate - I don't really care how far I've run, any the time isn't as crucial either (though it would be great to have as well, NGL). But if only they just incorporated at least an LED indicator to show HR zones, than it'd be top. Anyone know when the 5.0 is coming out?

Great video

Much better title now lmao

athlytics does this for the apple watch.

This seems oddly similar to a Shervin video I saw 2 months ago 🤔

Thank you 👏🙏

What happened to ROAST YOUR DESK SETUP & TikTok series ? ☹️

The only metric that worked for me and seems very accurate was body battery

I had the WHOOP band trial, and it just wasn't it for me. I bought a smart watch for £25 upfront, and it gave me access to an entire screen, step count, time, notifications, weather, music control, and more without me having to pull up my phone. Plus the fact that the WHOOP is £27 A MONTH, which is as much as I paid upfront for my smartwatch. Yes the WHOOP has a few extra statistics, but the fact that it doesn't even track steps for a "fitness band" is just outrageous.

What Apple Watch band is that?

The Apple watch is completely underwhelming for health tracking with Apple's native apps. You really need to use something like Athlytic which provides all the same metrics as something like Whoop or Garmin.

$20 a month for the woot is kinda of a deal breaker by default.

How do you know the Apple Watch overestimates kcal burned? Or does the Whoop underestimate it? On what basis do you make that claim? The Apple Watch has better heartbeats tracking then the whoop.

Apple Watch and Athlytic App. Problem sorted.

I have had the Apple Watch, it's ok but doesn't track naps. I use for my sleep an old Huawei and for that it's very consistent. Just bought the ultra ring, to not have to change watch when I sleep and it absolutely reeeeeeks, it's god awful, it doesn't register naps, and it's always losing time of sleep at night. I'm giving the whoop band a chance I think.

One Garmin ⌚ to Rule them all.

There’s some third party apps that are starting to use the data from Apple Watch and analyzing it in the way of the whoop band

I think you need to use all 3 for at least a year to give us more or a detailed summary coz apple watch has good 3rd party apps for the apple watch

Can’t believe you skip the journal on Whoop. That’s literally the point do you can build a picture of what helps you recover.

I found that ultrahuman has been more accurate for sleep and for steps apple watch

That (boucle/sherpa?) quarter-zip is 🔥. Where's it from?

What’s your opinion about coffee?

I feel it would be better to do a video were you use them for a month but never look at the data and just record a video each day on how you feel. Similar to what Better Ideas did with his sleep tracking video. As one big issue with the whole “recovery” stuff is that when you wake up and see it saying “you got bad recovery” you will then start to feel worse and start justifying doing things that would correlate with being “low recovery” Just an idea as it would allow for less mental interference from day to day, that way you can learn if it’s actually lining up.

Garmin has all this already

Just wear weight lifting gloves while wearing your ring. I'm wearing Apple 8 and Ultrahuman Air ring. Whoop strap is subscription which is a deal breaker for me.

12:37 I would imagine the Whoop to be much better at tracking heart rate in general. The reasoning being the Whoop is getting so many more data readings per minute than the Apple Watch.

This kind of dependence on gadgets humans are developing is insanity…

I use the Apple watch for a rough estimate of the calories i burn daily. So if everyday it says I burn “400” active calories and i decide to lose weight then i just adjust my eating and strive to keep burning that “400” calories

The apple watch really is NOT good at sleep tracking. I've just been diagnosed with severe sleep apnoea, and my apple watch seems to think I've been sleeping great every night this whole time...

Whoop is insane expensive

I’ve had them all and returned them all. Waste of money. People just need to have balance and watch what they eat. Work out and have a plan. You don’t need an $800 device to tell you that.

I would get the whoop but not at 22$/mo

Can you pls buy me an Apple watch or the ring...it's my dream to own one I have been following you lately...love your work

Whoop is still the best with new AI support. Listening to our body

Would never choose one that I have to pay an additional subscription fee. A Garmin is better than these for sure.

Generational wealth. Period

I like it 💚💚

Would you go UltraHuman or Oura?

Always play on 1.25x speed. lol

Anybody have a TLDW summary of his thoughts?

now test a garmin 965 so you see how useless and inconvenient all those 3 devices are... :)

Apple Watch is great
