II have the Apple Watch Ultra, Oura Ring, and Whoop. I love them all, but the Oura Ring stands out for its holistic approach and comfort, especially when paired with another wrist wearable for exercise tracking. Whoop is great but expects intense daily workouts to meet strain goals. It can be demotivating knowing that to reach my objective I need to run for 40 mins at an intense pace, I just can't do that every day. The Apple Watch and Oura's calorie goals are more achievable and motivating for me. That also takes into account my walks, which barely if at all add any strain in Whoop.
Honestly all those scores are not worth much.... I go the simple route - check the overnight HR and HRV and that's plenty enough. Those are the only truly measured metrics anyways. In that regards, to me Garmin is the most useful and reliable. They seem to know better what they're doing and what metrics matter.
Here's another variable to think about. Every time I switch wrists with my Garmin, I get a wildly different average. I wonder if that's a thing with all the other rings and devices.
I use whoop as a recovery monitoring device which have amazing sleep and nap tracking and use my garmin Fenix 7 Solar for my activity tracking I’ve synced them to apple Health so all the activity data gets synced in whoop too.
Hey Dave, thanks for all the content with the new Samsung products. The videos have been helpful and informative. I just wanted to see if you could clarify something for me? Were you also wearing the Galaxy Watch Ultra while wearing the Galaxy Ring for the results in this video? I know the devices communicate, so I wasn't sure if that played a factor in your results or not. Thanks!
For me, Garmin works great. Body battery and even Sleep score are absolutely how I really feel. I like that sleep duration doesnt count as much as quality does. I can really see, when I drunk alcohol night before, had stressed day in work etc.
Interesting video Dave. I rely on my fenix 6x. As an iPhone user I’m not getting into Samsung so that’s out. I’m also not paying a sub, so whoop is out. Oura doesnt seem to add that much and I don’t need a different view on the same stats. If garmin or Apple bring out a ring or a strap device, I’d definitely have a look. For me, overnight HRV, heart rate and sleep score are all I really look at. I don’t think body battery is hugely helpful tbh. Which one do you trust? That’s what I was waiting for. Would be good to hear your view.
Personally I find Garmin Body Battery and Sleep Score to reflect how I feel most days. Oura Ring tends to be a bit generous and it's really hard to get a "low energy score" on Oura even after running an ultramarathon lol.
@@fabianrares they don’t actually. You can wear the ring on any finger and they suggest using the finger with the best fit which for me is the ring finger. Here’s their instructions: www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-use-the-samsung-galaxy-ring/
With the Fenix 8 rumored to be released in a month isn't there a good chance the metrics from Garmin will be greatly improved from their current devices?
Your energy score is 57 on Samsung but your readiness score on Oura is 84. And you said they use similar metrics. So which one is the correct score? A big difference between 57 and 84.
Problem is there's no real scientific way to compare readiness or energy scores because the algorithms are all different. In this video I just wanted to showcase how each one displays their data.
Apple doesn't really have metrics that compare to these other than basic sleep data. The new Vitals App is cool but doesn't offer any sort of Energy / Body Battery type score.
@@ChaseTheSummit I should have specified on the sleep data. Because the Apple Watch and its algorithms are the best out there, so it would have made a very good basis for comparison for the others. In any case, I also hope that Apple will develop sports data even more.
@@ChaseTheSummit Interesting. The data from other devices seems more grouped together, and the Galaxy Ring appears to be the outlier. It would be pretty bad if they had serious accuracy issues considering how much they are charging for the ring.
I was a long time Android user ever since the introduction in 2008 with the T-Mobile G1 but a few years ago I jumped over to the iPhone for the sake of simplicity. I work on a Macbook Pro everyday and the ecosystem is just so easy to use... That said, I still enjoy android phones and I like what Samsung is doing with their new line including the Z-Flip.
If you watch the first 30 seconds of the video I explain that there's no real way for anyone to quantify these metrics. Even the sleep data is nearly impossible given that a "scientific EEG" sleep machine is only 70%-80% accurate. This video was just to show you how they compare for me and what the metrics look like.
I used the Galaxy Ring and watch ultra together for 2 weeks and I was pretty disappointed. One night my daughter couldn't sleep and I struggled sleeping more than 5 hours, result: sleep score 92. This is just an episode ofc, but in general many measurements were out of realistic values, such as my HRV. The lowest I have seen was 130ms, one night I even got 240ms...I mean...
Not a fan of that rude of the rude tone of @rainerrain9689, but I am still curious which tracker was closest with total sleep time 7 hours and 9 hours is quite a big discrepancy
@@ChaseTheSummit Only reason you didn't tell us is because you didn't want to ding the companies who were way off ,because you wouldn't get products to review . Let's face it, you're only reviewing for click S and need you need to stay on companies good side.
@@rainerrain9689 I thought you unsubscribed? Move on with your life 😂 Nah, I just don’t have a scientific way to quantify accuracy when it comes to sleep data or the “readiness” score as even the most advanced EEG machines are only like 70% accurate. This video wasn’t about accuracy. It was more about comparing all of the different apps and how the data is displayed.
@@ChaseTheSummit I did unsub ,but I just got your late reply . All we wanted to know what was your actual hours of sleep ,that's all ,but you left out that important info . Accuracy means everything for knowing how many hrs you slept and which product was the closest . Your title said nothing about apps, it said DATA DEEP DIVE . What good is an app if the data is way off !
Yeah, it's a bummer that Samsung is following the Apple path. It wasn't always that way and it seems like they'd sell a lot more if they'd open it up... even to iPhone users!
The screenless Garmin strap needs to be made asap
Agreed... Or a ring. 👍🏼

Subscription model just writes any device off for me. Im just waiting for Garmin to stop playing and release a ring or whoop style band. 👍🏼
Always love and appreciate these data-rich videos, Dave! My favourite type =D

@@user-ij8no5zw6u- same plus how I actually feel in the morning, pretty crap most days now to be honest lol

Interesting, should be the same unless you have better blood circulation on one wrist versus the other or maybe dense tattoos on one wrist?
@@ChaseTheSummit No tattoos, but I am very fat, might have something to do with it lol
I switch the wrist my Epix is on most nights and never noticed a difference. But maybe I need to keep an eye on that!! 👍🏼
@@NickBEADG😅
The Watch Ultra looks amazing with that band!
Can you do Galaxy Ring vs Oura Ring vs Ultrahuman RIng vs Amazfit Helio Ring 😊
I use whoop as a recovery monitoring device which have amazing sleep and nap tracking and use my garmin Fenix 7 Solar for my activity tracking I’ve synced them to apple Health so all the activity data gets synced in whoop too.
So. How long do you think you slept?? So you cluld tell which is the most accurate one 😅
Garmin pls create a ring!

Nope, just the ring for the purpose of this video!
@ChaseTheSummit I assumed so, but I wanted to be sure. Thank you for your response and again for the top-notch content.

Once you start tracking these things it's amazing to see how much just a couple of drinks of alcohol effect your HRV/Sleep. Really eye opening!
So how much sleep did you get? Ruins the vidie a bit with that obviously necessary information being witheld.
Just wondering if you will be doing a review on Xiaomi smartwatch S4 sport in terms of accuracy 😅

Apparently samsung recommends index finger for the ring and best results. Still far in accuracy with it's competitors

All completely different lol
Yep!
Did you have those wild differences between Galaxy ring and other trackers every time you compared or just occasionally?
Pretty consistent but not the same every single day.
@@ChaseTheSummit Interesting. The data from other devices seems more grouped together, and the Galaxy Ring appears to be the outlier. It would be pretty bad if they had serious accuracy issues considering how much they are charging for the ring.
What do you prefer the iPhone or the android?
