Thanks for the comparison. Does the data match between the two? Was trying to see with the sleep data but believe you showed two different periods. Thanks!
It depends. I have sometime 30-40% recovery on whoop, but my energy level is 80-100%. The devices just reads the data, not really telling you the truth.
The watch would set you back £800 up front. How long until you want to upgrade to another model ? 2-3 years ? You can use a whoop for 2-3 years for £300 - £400 and you automatically get any new models released in that time. It’s actually a lot cheaper than people make out and better value than actually buying an Apple Watch outright
@@anchorman5624Yeah but as a super simple screen less product, it’s a steep price. The Apple Watch is a completely different product and if you buy a new one down the line, it has a ton new to offer
I don't know about 2-3 years. I'm still wearing my series 3 Apple Watch and it works perfectly. Could be faster sure, but especially with a durable build in the ultra, it should be able to last several years. Plus you can get a used one or refurbished one for $100-$200 less. @@anchorman5624
I am certainly interested in the Whoop. I have an Apple Watch Ultra 1 which I love. However, I also have some nice watches also which I like to wear sometimes. At the moment, when using one of my other non-smart watches, I wear my Gloring smart ring to count my steps etc. So I am interested in the Whoop as an alternative to my ultra.
Hi Jerad, have you noticed that whoop can't detect quick heart rate spikes ? When wearing an Apple Watch simultaneously, Whoop misses the initial spikes during each weight training set. I know my body well and at the end of a set Whoop will show my heart rate at a flat 110 BPM, while Apple recognizes the quick spike to 160 BPM😐
There are better reviews out there. What about the unique features of Whoop such as ai coach, weight training programs, macro nutrients affect on recovery? I’m also amazed that the Ultra has “fantastic” battery life (3 days compared to a Garmin 30 days). Also one of the big advantages of the Whoop is you can wear a non Smart Watch to tell the time.
Great Video Jared! Thanks- I have An Apple Watch 7 and really don’t use ,inch of the Apps anymore and actually trying to unplug more…. All I really want is a low footprint fitness and sleep tracker. Would you still recommend this, not sure about a ring yet still researching but missing fingers in right hand to less options 😂 in case think Whoop would fit the use case?
I just got a brand new Whoop 4.0 in the mail today. Battery was charged for 3 hours, says fully charged but won’t wake up the device and in less than 30 seconds the battery blinks 5x and indicates
Because steps are irrelevant. They were promoted as an easy guide for people who don’t do any exercise and want to start. Effort and recovery are way more important than
For me screenless is a deal breaker. Currently I have the Apple Watch and no longer need my phone when going to the gym. The gym workout app I use is available on Apple Watch and I can log my sets, reps, weights etc on my workout plan on my watch without my phone, even alerts me when my rest period is up. I just can’t imagine going back to carrying my phone everytime I go to the gym for essential workout apps I need to log progress on my custom workout plan!
Using the Fenix 7X but am intrigued by the idea of an Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Whoop 4.0 combo. After switching from the original Ultra to the Fenix….I think I have a fitness tech addiction
I refuse to believe whoop auto detects activities with so much accuracy .. but it does .. how ??? can someone shed some light on this please .. like how does it know I cycled and I later walked and not vice versa ???? for both activities my HR was in Z2 & whoop was not connected to the phone ..
Since its always working it notices when the heart rate picks up. As it learns the data it’ll know what kind of workout it is. It’s pretty smart actually
Honestly compared to my Galxy watch 6 the only advantage it has is that it can be worn 24/7/365 as it can charge while worn... Also the fleability of wearing locations... Which is not a bad thing and is up to preference or if you already wear a watch.
The galaxy watch has worse sleep tracking and heart rate tracking watch the quantified scientist on TH-cam. I have a galaxy watch as well and do think its better for running (so I can see distancez) but that's it fitness wise.
I had the Whoop. I also drive on Uber etc. I had a massive issue that it was initiating 90 minute workouts with erratic heart rate while sitting and driving. Obviously panicing thinking something was wrong, a quick google sesrch showed i was not alone. It completely ruined my data so i spoke with whoop and cancelled my plan which was a shame. I now have the Ultra 1.
I was a whoop subscriber for four years. After using the apple watch and other software such as Athlytic for calculating HRV much like Whoop for a fraction of the price, I question the accuracy of the information being provided. One could argue that the whoop data, its benefit to the user is in observing the trends in the data and the accuracy of its measurements is not that critical. I just cannot justify for the price point and the overall lacking experience with their useless customer support. In the end I was not sold on its value to me at the exceptional cost. I lost a band at the gym that I had had paid two years of service on. Instead of doing the right thing and taking care of the customer, it took two weeks of sending requests to whoop support to even illicit a response from the company. After two more questions and going back and forth with their support, I let them know that I was dissatisfied with their lack of care to my needs as a customer. I ended up purchasing an Aura ring, and will see if perhaps the culture of that company is perhaps a better fit. Perhaps they have more value for their customers. Whoop could care less about theirs.
If I am going to wear something “smart” on my wrist, I am going want a screen. Personally I don’t see the point of whoop. If no screen I would rather just wear something like Ouraring.
If you’re not a paid athlete the whoop is pointless. Stick to a fitness tracker with a screen , more bang for your buck. People who push the whoop are usually affiliated with the company and don’t have to pay $30 a month.
Wearing a Whoop for 2 years. There is no device that is as ergonomically friendly with charging. I workout with a group of over twenty people and NO has ever disliked the charging puck. Maybe this guy had a defected model. 😂. Well to each his own
if athlytic sent out notifications like whoop does, make UI better, and auto detect sleep there would be no discussion. I think its just a matter of time until third parties like athlytic catch up. At the end of the day the apple watch is a super computer and im fairy certain its more accurate then the whoop. However currently whoops interface and data representation its still superior. I wish these third parties or even apple would step up and get their shit together.
When Im at the gym I would like to input my sets and wraps on the watch. Also while swimming I want to measure the time I need for swimming x meters so I can improve my technique. I won’t renew my whoop subscription I will buy an apple watch. Whoop is not worth it it’s like this rabbit AI device. I can HAVE AI ON MY PHONE AND DONT NEED AN EXTRA AI DEVICE. Smart watch can track everything so I DONT NEED AN EXTRA FITNESS TRACKING DEVICE !!!!

i wish apple made a minimal fitness tracker
Same.
You forget the fact that the apple eco system support third party apps. Would be only fair to compare Athlytic on the Apple Watch with Whoop.
Thanks for the comparison. Does the data match between the two? Was trying to see with the sleep data but believe you showed two different periods. Thanks!
How accurate is the sleep data? Do you feel tired when you need more sleep? Or you are energetic with recommended sleep
It depends. I have sometime 30-40% recovery on whoop, but my energy level is 80-100%. The devices just reads the data, not really telling you the truth.
I’m kind of surprised you didn’t discuss the fact that the Apple Watch is a flat price but the Whoop is subscription based.
Yeah, that was an oversight.
Major turnoff for me to try it out. You never really own it at all

@@rrggray Promoted to scam people $189 a year. I can get one Garmin a year and It will give me better info.
Was just about to put this comment
Can you wear the Apple Watch on the top of the wrist and the whoop on the bottom of the wrist? Like having one band for both?
You can. Just look for it online
salamun alaykum, im gonna see if you can cut the cloth part and attach it to the applwatch like a strap haha
Nice job, that white light behind you really hurts my eyes though.
Your supposed to where the whoop with the wording on the clip facing you. The sensors work better that way.
I ditched the Whoop for the Apple Watch Ultra, much more functionality
Does the whoop have to charge with the included usb cable or can any usb c work?
Actually, any USB C 😂
6:15 i dont think whoop tracks steps
With the AUW2, I can leave my phone at home which is awesome.
Great video thank you. Do you have a link to purchase your Apple Watch band?

which gym work out app you use

it's not ruining your data, as driving equals stress equals strain, so now you know the reality of your daily impact on your body
@@avish692 yes it is ruining date hence why whoop are aware of the issue and cancelled my contract. A google search will show you otherwise.
i would serious considered buying whoops if the price is around 10 $ per month , and the accessories are overpriced ..
You are wearing whoop backwards buddy
You are wearing the Whoop wrong, the Whoop name should face you 🤓

5:32 not really as all desktops and most power bricks are type A so a type conetction makes total sense still.
For some. Not for me as I mentioned.
You don’t need to use Whoop’s supplied cable. Many people have usb-c to usb-c cables on hand and those work well.
I’m sorry but I’m not purchasing a device I cannot use without a subscription

Yeah, it's not for everyone.
Whoop is inaccurate at higher heart rate levels when training
I thought Whoop didn't track steps?
It does now
