I was able to test the whoop thanks to you. It was really nice, once I received a warning saying that my temperature was 1.6 degrees (C) higher than usually, after 1 day from that warning I’ve got a cold. I really liked it, but for me was too expensive and I didn’t like it that I cannot use it after the subscription ended.

[@borg_uk]

I don't mind paying good money for a quality product. But the subscription model will always be a turn off to me.

[@MarcusCreates]

I totally get it

[@ginasomara267]

Wow greattttt video!! Such detail and great explanations. Best video I’ve seen on comparing devices so far!

[@ScarletClarity]

Fantastic video, really comprehensive but never boring. You have a great manner on screen, keep it up! :D

[@MarcusCreates]

Thank you 🙏

[@BrandonTalbot]

Congrats on the transformation Marcus.

[@johnp.6045]

Great video and overview. I have the Apple Watch Ultra and the Ultrahuman Air ring. Going to give the glucose monitoring a try to get some insight on how I can fine tune my diet. Again, always love your videos and delivery style. Down to earth common sense.

[@MarcusCreates]

Thanks John. Hope you like the M1 glucose patch. I’m learning loads.

[@katgoodwin65]

that was very helpful thanks

[@slimerone]

great informative video - thank you

[@Dedseq]

Mix and matching different platform. I actually was looking into SuperHuman Glucose sensor. Thanks for the vids

[@MarcusCreates]

Welcome

[@itsuki3197]

love the review

[@Eyephere]

Oh man! I’m glad you explained the band. For the longest time, I thought you had a severe medical condition or thought it might be a type of nicotine patch.

[@MarcusCreates]

That would be an industrial strength nicotine patch. 😂

[@Eyephere]

@@MarcusCreates yeah, but I know people who wear large patches and I just imagined the strap was to keep it in place for some reason anyway glad you’re alright

[@MarcusCreates]

@@Eyephere appreciate you!

[@JDS8]

Great video, I’ve been considering the Ultrahuman Air for a few weeks now but the information about the Whoop 4.0 was really interesting as well! I totally appreciate you can’t review every product out there but I’ll including a Garmin watch in there would have been helpful too given how ubiquitous they are in many fitness / athletic communities. Maybe you can give one a try as you get more into running?

[@MarcusCreates]

Sure thing. Thanks for the heads up ☺️

[@kaushikpunjabi9573]

What about the athlytic app for apple watch, have you considered it for recovery and strain management.

[@gabekarl82]

thank you for doing this, I've been in the market for the next wearable tracker, I still have the fitbit charge 2 which is so old but still works in some areas ... i am thinking of getting the whoop but after your thorough review I am going to put the Ultrahuman in my list because of the Blood Glucose test

[@MarcusCreates]

The Uktrahuman folks just brought out a titanium edition ring too. Haven’t seen it but it looks lush.

[@george6252]

Keep in mind all Fitbits require a Google log on early 2025. Same if you buy another older Fitbit now. Very hard to switch over in my opinion. My Fitbit Ch. 2 is still working also. Use Charge 4 the most. Ultra Human Air will probably replace my Fitbits (going to miss them).

[@kathleensmith370]

love your videos- very interesting

[@MarcusCreates]

Thank you Kathleen. Appreciate you.

[@arssul3228]

Here from the MarineX video and liking what I see => you have my sub sir !

[@MarcusCreates]

Welcome aboard!

[@ElLa-gn8rd]

Thanks for the great review! Im looking to buy Ultrahumanx & CGM via your discount Link. How long will it be valid?

[@chrisx2536]

Thank you for the video, Marcus. After watching it, I'm definitely considering the Ultrahuman Air for a sleep tracker. One thing that stood out from this video was the impressive amount of sleep you’re able to get. If you're brainstorming video ideas, I'd love to see one discussing the routines and habits that have been working for you. Additionally I’d be interested to hear about the tools and apps you use to commit to your routines so that you’re able to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Thanks again!

[@bonjourjoe-fr]

I love the review, the charger of the ringer is such a bummer though, I have been on WHOOP for years.

[@mohdazri5410]

What brand is the cuff bangle that you are using?

[@fam2129]

Where did you get the silver bracelet?

[@great.indoorsman]

Love your content, and honestly your weight loss has pretty noticeable in your videos so congrats on that! I’ve been debating the Whoop lately because I’m tired of the Apple Watch and would like to wear regular watches again but still get health tracking. Tbh I wish Apple would come out with a sleek fitness band!

[@MarcusCreates]

Rumor has it they’re launching a ring this year. Maybe hold out for that?

[@great.indoorsman]

@@MarcusCreates I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for the info!

[@deshungrant31]

love the video bro! fitness is not really a look but at the same time i can see ur health in ur face hair and eyes you still have a youthful look to you which most do not have you 38 years old so you r winning no matter what love from atlanta ga

[@counselor_padawan]

great video. I wear the libre 3 already for diabetes, doesnt seem like there is an option with ultrahuman to not pay for the sensor if you already have them. was curious how the whoop stood up to apple though. thanks for the video

[@HungryYett]

Is the step counter accurate?

[@nablair2007]

Thanks Marcus, enjoyed the video. I have the whoop 4.0 (which I like) but I think the battery life is worse than the 3.0 which I had previously. At best, I would get 3 days of battery life. At least it is easy to recharge. I do take the strain and stress readings with a grain of salt - I’ve had situations like cooking dinner or doing housework where the whoop registers that with a strain score of 10. With any of these devices, as long as we’re aware of their limitations, they can be helpful.

[@MarcusCreates]

Thanks for sharing. That’s some vigorous housework!! ☺️

[@Mike_B_3473]

Just got a whoop and currently have an Ultra. Looking forward to see how this goes

[@jrgensvik896]

How is it so far?😃

[@blueclue57]

Great insight! There are so many choices - many Garmin offerings, Polar H10. I would probably choose the 3 devices that you did and use them all when I get serious about a gym routine again. I need to start soon, but wait for the funds. It is costly, especially with the right supplements and devices. I am wondering how well these trackers integrate with other independent fitness apps. There are a lot of good exercise apps that I want to try. Thanks for this review!

[@MarcusCreates]

Thanks for sharing! And the bottom line is, a set of dumbbells is all you need to get started and do 70% of what you need with them.

[@Fulgur98]

love your videos! such good vibes and could listen to you all day! wish you all the best and great success and happiness :D

[@MarcusCreates]

Thanks. What a nice thing to say. Appreciate the support. ☺️

[@999study]

Great video. Curious to see similar video with Garmin into the mix.

[@chadandwendy1]

Me too.

[@stevemckinney6831]

The killer feature I need is getting insight into how my behaviors affect my sleep and recovery. It sounds like only the Whoop can give me that with its logging feature.

[@X.C_]

Marcus, the only device missing on you is a Garmin. Thanks for covering all of these.

[@MarcusCreates]

I had a garmin Epic Gen 2 but sold it recently because I wasn’t using it. Should have made a video first.

[@luiv.7550]

It would be interesting to see a fitness journey using anabolics while monitoring your vitals, 🧐

[@alxtaco]

Hi, I am surprised that Withings watches are overlooked. In my opinion they are the best overall smart watches. I do have a question what is your cuff bracelet? Oh and just recently came across your channel and I love it.

[@MarcusCreates]

Thanks for the positivity. I like Withings but I’ve never tried them personally. My bracelet is from a jewelry store in Kerry, Ireland and they’re not available. Sorry.

[@RomanBaranovic]

hi, any chance to get your insights on using garming watch and compare it with ultrahuman ring? i am using the garmin instinct 2 watch and thinking abou getting the ring but i am ot sure if it worthy. aleso i do lotst of cycling and i have never seen someone mentioni g if the ring is ok to wear with glovses

[@MarcusCreates]

I can look into it for you. ☺️

[@-Tholos-]

I wear mine with gloves some times. Haven’t got any issues. For cycling though I think a Garmin would be more usefull during the workout.

[@george6252]

The required subscription membership on the whoop strap is a deal breaker. I own Apple Series 8 but for health only, not a great activity watch in my opinion. The Ultra Human Air will be ordered once I get the fitting kit later today. Appreciate your findings.

[@MarcusCreates]

Thanks for watching. Hope you like the Uktrahuman Air. It’s been great for me.

[@screight2]

Great ending! I'm a Nurse Officer and was thinking the same thing.. But you are gaining great information and utilizing it.. Go man go!

[@grobohydrophobicsystemjour8735]

Claps !!! Love it ..sir I don’t comment ! So know you help me spend my money !! This all I wanted to know ..ps now I got to buy a glucose 😂patch now .thank you

[@MarcusCreates]

Awesome. Glad I could help

[@Heimdall-hb5it]

But is the Ultrahuman Air really good while lifting? Doesnt it get in clinch with dumbbells etc? Searching for an addition to my Apple Watch Ultra and the Ultrahuman Air in 14 coooould fit my massive hands maybe. :D

[@blindlama]

Yeah i have a payment ring that looks to be the same size and it's not very comfortable to wear while doing deadlifts etc.

[@thekwebster]

Whats your opinion on the Whoop Pro subscription? I'm in my trial month but considering purchasing pro for the "free" item every 3 months. If i atick with it I will likey purchase a few of their extras over time anyway.

[@MarcusCreates]

I just don’t see the value in it to be honest. I think it’s too expensive.

[@thekwebster]

@@MarcusCreatesAfter looking over it I'm inclined to agree. I only really want a bicep band and maybe the shorts anyway. I don't really care what color my band is going to be.

[@timmi2030]

[@evantouger2469]

Interesting info; thanks! Most of these apps require you to consistently add data manually, which is hard for me to maintain because…well….I get lazy. 🙄 I’m really hoping Apple is working on using AI to parse data for better tracking of trends and identifying insights. As you said, they have a lot of info in their Health app but it’s hard to know how to use it.

[@MarcusCreates]

That’s true. The only thing I’m adding these days is food into MyFitnessPal. Everything else data shares and syncs.

[@evantouger2469]

Good to know. Thanks!

[@rinordukaj5815]

Wow. ADHDPhoenix gets top marks for watching. ☺️. Thanks rinkrdukaj5815 for watching and for all the positivity. 👍🏻

[@thewildman4300]

Great video. If there is anything I’ve learned from fitness tech the main thing is that its all the same price wise . You’ll either pay up front ($700+) or if you pay small amounts itll inevitably be a subscription model at some point. Whoop is the best IMO

[@MarcusCreates]

That’s an interesting take. Hadn’t thought of it like that. Thanks for sharing.

@@MarcusCreates I thought so! I have the full frame case and like it

[@abhinavdhami1158]

So basically whoop has a better app. I wonder if apple starts working on their app. Would whoop still be better on that case?

[@MarcusCreates]

I just really like whoop and having the smarts on my bicep means I can wear a classic watch on my wrist.

[@PaMos1806]

Very interesting video, thanks for that. I’m on a comparable journey, trying to get in a better shape, learning about my health etc by using data, and having a certain age. 😉 For a simple, very specific reason, it’s the Apple Watch (series 9, not Ultra, I don’t like the looks of it) for me. I just don’t want to bring my phone with me for every workout / training session, while still absolute love and need to listen to music and track distances and locations outdoors with gps. Not possible with the whoop band (I assume also not with the ring). I do agree with you though about the app, would love to have the style and informations presented in Apple health like in the Whoop app!

[@MarcusCreates]

Love it. Take care of yourself and invest in your body.

[@lhzsdgsfbvv]

Garmin ❤

[@MarcusCreates]

I get a lot of Garmin love requests. Noted.

[@user-oh9cm2fe4w]

definitely a paid sponsorship or something. I never see any UH ring reviews that talk about the inaccuracy of it. I have the UH Air ring and the UH ring is not even remotely close to tracking accurate heart rates. Not only that, the sleep algo needs a ton of love because it is not close to as accurate as the Oura ring. Plus, how can the ring be an optimal fitness tracker whenever it does not gather accurate heart rate and it is not ideal to wear when lifting anything. Not only that, the HRV measurement is way off. Most of the time is underestimates it by 20-30 MS. Multiple people have mentioned all of these on Reddit and the official UH slack so this is not just my opinion. Whoop and Apple Watch are the ideal fitness trackers. They both actually get close to measuring accurate heart rate and they do not hinder you no matter what the workout is.

[@MarcusCreates]

Hey. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. This isn’t a sponsored video - I have to declare when they are. The point I was trying to make was that the Ultrahuman Air is actually not a great fitness tracker. Check my summary. The Whoop is better by far. More accurate. But the Uktrahuman Air is an all rounder. Better sleep (IMO), better circadian rhythm, better basic all rounder. 100% get your POV. And love that it’s different to mine. 👍🏻

[@tamas1235]

The answer is Garmin. :)

[@AntonsGarage]

The only people that I’ve ever seen wear a whoop are the ones with the affiliation code to promote….think about that for a sec. I fell for it and returned mine within a month.

[@MarcusCreates]

That’s interesting. What do you think the reasoning is behind that? If using someone else’s code just gets them a month of free usage does it not further mean they actually wear the whoop and promote it so they can continue to wear it? I’m a bit confused by the logic here. On a separate note I watched a couple of your vids on KZbin. You should put more out. 3.7m views on the gasket vid! Amazing. 👍🏻

[@WenWuerdestDuVernaschen]

That is because its so expensive and the subscription based payment is scaring them. Whoop is really more than just a solid tracker, it gives you the data straight forward in a way to you you can understand. Its still expensive though, not because its not worth it but the fact that alternatives are much cheaper in the long term

[@JayFriedrichs]

Apple Watch + athlytic app is the best

[@santoshparvatikar]

Why three, when one can suffice? They are essentially the same.

[@MarcusCreates]

They’re each better at specific things though so depending on what you’re tracking one might be better than the other for you.

Hello 😊

[@Abhi-rd7ov]

This was more of a affiliate link push than an actual review. Very selective and picks the categories that the ring wins in.

[@MarcusCreates]

Hmmm. You can’t come to my birthday party. 😂

[@michaelzdanis3979]

I might quiggle with one of your first assertions with regard to the Apple Watch Ultra. You say, "This is one of the most expensive watches you can get." Obviously you mean, "This is one of the most expensive 'digital' or 'connected' watches you can get. The price of the Apple Watch Ultra wouldn't get you a link of bracelet for an 18K Rolex President or equivalent. A Patek Philipe will run you a couple of hundred grand and a Richard Mille can easily set you back a $1 million.

[@MarcusCreates]

Ha. That’s 100% true. I was of course referring to one of the most expensive fitness trackers in the context of this video. As a Rolex Submariner owner, I get it. 😂
