This is a goldmine of information. Thank you so much for compiling this data and presenting it so comprehensively! I'm probably going to go with the Oura ring!
Whoop would always flip in my sleep. The tracker would always end up somehow slipping off my wrist and my sleep wouldn’t get tracked. Additionally, I have eczema and very sensitive skin. The whoop would always make my wrist break out. Oura for me all day long.
you can do latency with whoop. You can also log into whoop on the computer and look back as far as youve had the device. you can also download data via PDF
Great breakdown. Oura user here and overall very happy with it. I like the journal feature in Whoop... that looks good and I wish Oura had a user-friendly version; something quick and simple that prompted you each evening.
Oura: - cant wear doing weights - comes off when washing hands, need to be careful - have to take off to charge, can forget to put on - if you lose/gain weight, you need to move to a different finger. Sometimes you need to buy a whole new unit. Whoop: - never need to take off - looks better - more accurate - better data tracking with a survey to track what works for you - no step counter - more wholistic tracking: exercise and sleep. Neither are perfect, but i would choose whoop over oura. Glad i tried both, the nudging and prompts for sleep are ever so slightly better on oura.
I agree, Whoop is better for my use case. But a few points seem a bit biased for others: - "Never need to take off" isn't a fair argument when the actual functional battery of the whoop still needs to be taken off. Both can be forgotten without a routine. - "Looks better" is highly subjective. I actually prefer the oura ring's look compared to another band on my wrist, but I chose function over form with Whoop. Overall though, agree. It's a great video and gave the right points for everyone to choose on their use cases.
@@ruseruser2227 so things like weight training was difficult with Oura. I definitely wouldn't surf with it either. I legitimately never take off the whoop and there is always a charged battery so I will clip it on at bed time or whatever, where as the Oura has patches where you can forget to put it on or don't wear it, like I mentioned, and you can lose that data. I think that was my point.
@@normalguy7898 ahh I see that makes sense. Yeah that is definitely a strong point, I just meant that both require a little bit of habit forming to get used to. The way I see it, those with rings on other fingers outside of oura shouldn't find a huge hassle in Oura. That being said, I still went for Whoop since wearing a ring is horrible when lifting weights.
Very good review covering all the important features of both devices. I have replacement titantium rods in both hip due to total hip replacement, so really appreciated the EMF info!!
Thank you for this! I stumbled on your channel looking for insights on the Oura ring because it syncs with the only FDA approved non invasive fertility tracker - natural cycles. A plus for women looking into the differences, cycle and fertility tracking is better on Oura
@@wellnessdaddy This is actually what had us go towards the Oura ring. I heard you can turn that off on the Whoop, but if it's emitting EMF all day long and you have to turn it off... just wanted something a little safer for us! We love our Oura. Have had it for 2.5 years now and definitely think it works well for our lifestyle!
Leaning towards Whoop. But, for now, the monthly subscription fee that some devices requires to work (e.g. Whoop or Eight Sleep) seems to hold me back. Not sure if it is the price or what. But, I keep thinking it's like buying an Apple Watch and then having to get an additional monthly Apple subscription plan to make the Apple Watch work the way it is supposed to work. Just seems weird to me. But, that's just me.
I use the Oura Ring, but use a dedicated heart rate monitor when I train. I use my Gear S3 for steps. I use Health Connect app to help parse infomation and Google Fit app in conjunction with them. Two thungs I noticed about the Oura Ring is it needs to be clean before bed and sometimes I use a hair toe to keep it from spinning in my sleep and getting gaps. I also noticed since I often do nearly five hour gym sessions that Oura probably overestimates calories burned. I dont believe its adjusting for the reduction of basal metabolic rate from the exogenous data it gets from my Polal Beat heart rate monitor. As far as using the Oura as a training monitor it about worthless. It's fairly accurate on step count and i think monitors stress well. They say you can get overwhelmed by so much data but I find it easier to parse specific nuances. Just my two cents. Ive had Oura rings for years so have the lifetime membership and it was well woth the initial cost and costs .e nothing monthly. You have awesome co tent and it's well presented. Thanks!
I have only used the Oura ring as its the only fitness tracker i will consider currently. Airplane mode is essential for me while i sleep and i really dont care to wear anything around my wrist especially at night. Would be awesome if Oura had a better journaling feature like whoop and hopefully they continue to improve on their fitness tracking. Great overall breakdown! Your channel definitely deserves more attention and subscribers for the quality of content you put out. Maybe the fact that your channel name has nothing to do with your content focus plays a part.
I love my Fitbit Inspire 2. Great fitness and sleep tracking combo, and also super convenient with a small screen to check time, daily stats, and run timers. I would image Oura sleep tracking to be superior. I think the Fitbit in day and Oura while sleeping would be a winner combo. Fitbit is also
Have you recently tried the Apple Watch for sleep tracking? I have been thinking of getting one of these wearables to replace my Apple Watch 6. I’m hesitating because of the monthly subscription fee that each device requires. Also I heard the Apple Watch has the most accurate sleep tracking.
Hey Kyle, thanks for the - once again - very informative video! Besides the question of which device is the best (Whoop vs. Oura), I have another question. What brand of T-shirt do you wear? I know it sounds a bit strange, but I'm looking for exactly this cut/material. I would really appreciate an answer. Best regards from Hamburg, Jann
Have you been comfortable with the Oura ring size you chose? Have you had issues where it might be more snug than usual? And is that noticeable enough to make it uncomfortable? I saw their sizing kit but I've never worn a ring so I'm a bit hesitant on buying a 200-300 dollar ring and have it not fit comfortably
I'm on my Whoop trial month and it drives me nuts that it can't show me sleep phases on the chart what even some mobile apps can do accurately let alone an awesome and old Zoe tracker. It's a crucial info if you want to know when the body adjusted to the new time zone. So far Whoop is really way too simple to track sleep between timezones.
This video outdated, the whoop 4.0 solves almost all of the cons identified in this video (I know because I just got it 2 weeks ago, and so far so good!)
I prefer the Whoop or the Ultrahuman Air, because I have very large hands and Oura wont release the Ring in Size 14. :D Would use the Bicep Band or one of their boxershorts while weightlifting with the Whoop..
I think Whoop can track sleep latency IF you manually start your sleep as an activity. I don't really need it as "Efficiency" is good enough for me. It's weird that your Whoop takes so long to update in the morning, mine shows all the data within 10 min max, usually more like 5- 7minutes. Maybe try to reboot yours? I was choosing between Oura and Whoop, but decided to go with Whoop simply because imo Oura is not a good fit for any activities where you need to grab things (which is pretty much any activity). Just like you said, you can't wear it if you grab weights, etc. Also, I don't really like having stuff on my fingers, I even never wore a wedding ring because of that, lol. What's cool about Whoop also is that you can wear it on a bicep, or even on your wrist. And I absolutely love the way you can charge your Whoop and that it lasts for about 100 hours on a single charge. Never lost my battery pack in almost 2 years 😄

You're very welcome!
I hated the whoop especially when comes to strain! Returned it and going to try the oura next:)

EMF whoop such a good point
no one talks about it

@@choosingusco awesome to hear that!
Thank you for this video, very clear. It helped me make a decision, I'm going for the Oura ring.
Glad it was helpful!
Whoop always shows lower Oxygen saturation, im skeptical about its accuracy for blood oxygen levels! My oxymeter shows normal ranges
never tried whoop but recently bought oura. Like the minimalist approach and power of data.
10:40 he’s right. I had a whoop for a year and lost my puck and now I’m considering switching to Oura

Aura is a non-starter. I lift weights exclusively and that means I can't use the aura at all for what I do 99 percent of the time.
Whoop is crazy expensive for the little it offers
Had whoop for 2 years. It’s really helpful. But once you learn your habits, it’s all the same.
I use the Oura Ring, but use a dedicated heart rate monitor when I train. I use my Gear S3 for steps. I use Health Connect app to help parse infomation and Google Fit app in conjunction with them.

Thanks man, I am rebranding at the end of the month!
Well the airplane mode features is definitely a game changer for me. I've never used a ring before but I think I'm willing to give it a try

yo dude! haven't tried any of the fit bits yet, so might have to look into that
interesting ! Can it be put on airpalne mode please ?
oura ring yes@@pabanstanislas8308
Thank you for this video. I was wondering which one would work better for me.
nice, glad it was helpful!

no issues with sizing kit and getting the right fit for me

It's a crucial info if you want to know when the body adjusted to the new time zone. So far Whoop is really way too simple to track sleep between timezones.
honestly looks to me like WHOOP is superior in almost every way
Can I ask about your b-roll? It is very nice.
Great breakdown and comparison video!
After watching for 4 minutes I realized I have no idea what these devices even are for. Lol.
lawl
I can't get a size 15 Oura ring. Damn.
Guys don’t want to wear another ring. Whoop is easier as wristband
i don't mind
I don’t wear my wedding ring anymore since I wear the Oura one
