Thanks for the review Matt! Looking for a discreet fitness tracker of some sort and a ring might be my best option.

@mlegrand 10 ай бұрын

Yo Brandon! Good to hear from you! I've been watching your career with so much interest and joy over the past few years. The Air *might be a decent option for you. It'll do a good job at all the general health stuff like sleep, steps per day and giving recommendations but it's not going to replace a Garmin and track your runs or anything like that. I want to test a few more options on this channel. These are cool little products but I have no desire to pay a subscription fee. Hope all is well buddy! 👍

Another great review here Matt. I think these types of wearables are great for someone with no other way to track this data. But as I watched your demos, I couldn't help thinking how similar this data is to the data I get wearing my Garmin 945 as a fitness / health tracker. Compared to the Oura ring though, the absence of a subscription plan makes this a clear winner in a head-to-head between those two.

@mlegrand 10 ай бұрын

These are interesting products. I've heard from a lot of people who tell me they don't like to wear watches to sleep but instead want a ring to track their sleeping. Seems rare but to each their own. 🤷‍♂️

@dmart20 9 ай бұрын

Maybe to add to this. If you are using let’s say Garmin for tracking your activities, sleep and so on, is there a benefit of adding the ring? Not sure though. Also, does it sync with training platforms like TrainingPeaks?

@mlegrand 9 ай бұрын

@@dmart20 - Training Peaks is one of the supported platforms. There's a lot of overlay between what Garmin tracks and what this ring tracks. For me, It felt like Garmin did a good job tracking activities and this ring gave a better details and suggestions on sleep and movement.

@dmart20 9 ай бұрын

@@mlegrand thanks for the reply. I believe I wills stick with Garmin for all tracking for now. I feel it tracks sleep ok, certainly not perfect but fine for my needs. Good to hear however that TrainingPeaks is supported, which would be a must for me.

@mlegrand 10 ай бұрын

Good suggestion! I honestly think it comes down to about three things. The looks of the watches, the mappings which is much better on the 965 and the screens. Some people prefer the simplicity of the Instinct 2X and others like the brightness of the 965 which comes at the expense of battery life. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

Hello, I have a question about the Ultrahuman Ring AIR. I'm using a Garmin sports watch and while doing exercises I pair an external heart rate sensor on the watch because the heart rate data from the external heart rate sensor is more reliable. Is it possible to pair the heart rate sensor of the Ultrahuman Ring AIR to a Garmin watch so I can use it as an external heart rate sensor?

@mlegrand 10 ай бұрын

No not that I’m aware of. I also wouldn’t expire accurate HR data from this device while exercising. HR data is fairly easy and reliable for optical sensors when resting and at sleep but gets harder with more movement. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

Since i would use only a Garmin to workout, is it correct to say that movement index will update based on the data found syncing with apple health?

@mlegrand 10 ай бұрын

This AIR ring is using it's own internal gyroscope and accelerometer data to determine movement for the day. You'd still want to use your Garmin for a more accurate representation of what you did during the workout. Syncing all of this data from different manufactures in one location is a bit of an issue.

Yeah, that's a really good point. 4+ weeks is a lot. I'm guessing a lot of people are really eager to try something other than an Oura ring or something other than a subscription service. Maybe demand is higher than expected. 🤷‍♂️ Keep me posted on what you think and how you like it when you finally get it in hand.

Well it’s summer here but I can’t say for sure but I think it’ll do ok. I didn’t really focus on accuracy in this video but I’m not a big believer in these rings being accurate when moving during an activity. I think they’re better at getting an overall picture of health metrics. And accuracy is easier when sleeping.

Hoping they feel a bit more smooth. Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

The best way to test heart rate accuracy is to export out the data and compare it directly to an EVG style chest strap. There isn’t an easy way to export out data and therefore I didn’t talk about it within this video. If you’re really curious about HR accuracy, I’d say this wouldn’t be my first choice of products. From what I can tell it’s pretty accurate when there isn’t a lot of movement (sleep, rest,etc) but otherwise not so much. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍
