Intro:
In this video I'll be sharing with you my top picks for the best smartwatches and health trackers based on actual data, and we'll be discussing a range of different brands and models, including Garmin, Polar, Oura Ring, Whoop, Huawei, Fitbit, and Xiaomi. I'll be covering a range of different features and capabilities, including sports tracking, heart rate tracking, general health tracking, GPS tracking, and battery life. Whether you are a fitness enthusiast, a health-conscious individual, or just someone who wants to track your steps and basic health trends, I’ve got you covered. I've based my recommendations on systematic and scientific measurements I've taken over the last few years, since I believe that all my recommendations should be backed by a lot of data. So sit back, relax, and let’s see if we can find the perfect smartwatch or health tracker for you.
I’ve tested more than 80 smartwatches over the last two-and-a-half years, and I have always tried to share the performance of these watches based on unbiased data and systematic analyses. However, one thing that admittedly lacks in my reviews is a consideration of each person's individual needs, which might make certain aspects of a smartwatch more or less relevant. In this video I would therefore like to share my recommendations taking into account the different real-world use cases you might have, but of course still basing my recommendations on all the data I collected.

Hello Rob, I am.a huge fan of yours from Italy (I'm.sorry if my english is not perfect). I have a question for you: in this video, if you could choose two device, you would pick Apple Watch and Oura Ring. Hypothetically if you don't matter how many devices you wear and if you should not have any money problem, which combination would you prefer? Always Apple Watch + Oura ring? Or you would add the Whoop Strap, or Whoop Strap + Apple Watch or any other combination? Thanks in advance

[@Darth_SurgeYo]

Is there a watch for elderly people with health conditions that will alert people that something is happening? I only see watches that the user has to push to call for help which doesn't help if the user isn't able to move.

[@00SNIVY00]

The subscription model is really what pushes me away from the Oura Ring. I was interested until I found that they would charge a monthly fee to use it. When I came across them again recently, it would've been something that I put my eye on for getting in a couple months. But now it's probably not going to remain on my radar.

Having a subscription fee on top of the actual ring being outrageously expensive is just nuts.

Amazing level of details and analysis. Thank you so much for the information to make a well informed decision! Are you able to do analysis for the Withings Steel HR Sport 40mm? Or would the data generated by that device be mostly the same as the Withings Scanwatch that you already reviewed and analysed?

[@patrickoreillyy1697]

Thanks for another great video. No one else has reviews with such a good scientific approach. I'd be interested in hearing more about what you think of Garmin watches, especially entry level like the Forerunner 45.

[@cnrhghs]

Your channel is my go to place before buying a smart watch. Thanks for the awesom content and happy new year!

[@jabbyjay9849]

Thank you for all of your hard work collecting actual data to use as a reference. Because of hours of watching your videos I noticed you kept saying the best overall for fitness was the whoop strap and I received mine 2 weeks ago. I know people have an issue with the subscription however if you are an avid fitness person you'll easily spend more than $319 (Canadian) on the newest apple or Samsung watch (ultra is $1099 and Samsung 5 pro is $579.99) so essentially you're saving money and have a company dedicated to improving the tracking instead of what app to add next. Thank you again for all these videos

[@prgv648]

I'm really glad you mentioned that getting a chest strap is best for HR. In practice the algorithm used to calculate the sports & health metrics is using heart rate data. So getting an older watch with good detailed metrics and a chest strap is a very good option.

[@TheQuantifiedScientist]

Thanks for the comment Petar!😊

Excellent and informative video, you've become my go to guy for health trackers review. That being said, to take your approach to its full extent you should share the data publicly (or as much of it as possible) so that others can review it as well.

[@justusschwabedal5924]

Great video! I suggest to use Spearman Rho instead of correlation. It's more robust against outliers and similarly interpretable. It does ignore biases but these seem to be generally absent in the data.

Would love to see the results for the Vivomove Trend, especially for sleep tracking, but also for heart rate. Love this video though, and it is super helpful!

[@alansnyder8448]

I'm a runner and a swimmer interested in sleep tracking and health tracking. I've tried the Oura Ring, Apple Watch, and Whoop Strap. My favorite is the Whoop Strap. It is comfortable to wear 24/7 you can even wear it while charging. And even then charging is only once every few days. (3 or 4). The only time I take it off is when taking a shower. The Apple Watch needs to be charged every day and can only be worn in one place, and the Oura Ring just was not comfortable enough that eventually one day I took it off and never put it back on. The Whoop Strap has been on constantly for a year and a half.

[@journeymanx219]

Thank u!

[@Cisero1000]

This helps. I have an Apple Watch Ultra which with multiple day battery life is way better than the previous versions. I have been considering switching phones and would rather have one health tracking device that would work across the board and not keep me tied to either iPhone/samsung etc. Don't love the subscription aspect but its not a deal breaker

[@alansnyder8448]

@@Cisero1000 Just FYI. I'm approaching 2 years with the Whoop strap constantly on. The only thing I might do is switch arms when sleeping at night, and my daughter gave me a sleeve to put on my upper arm but I don't even use that, since it is comfortable enough where it is.

[@fluchtzwerg]

Is it possible to export the whoop data in an easy way? As a backup or for analysis afterwards?

AMAZING. Thank you for this research this is the perfect video! Subscribed!

[@twc9000]

This is the most thorough comparison I have seen. I haven't seen this kind of comparison anywhere else. I'm looking for a watch with good sleep analysis and fitness tracking. I work as a EMS helicopter pilot and alternate between day shifts for 4 days and then night shifts for 3 nights. I typically get 2-3 hours of sleep in the day and about 4 hours of sleep at night, for a total of about 6-7 hours/day. I want something to help me maximize my sleep but at the same time track fitness and activities. I am leaning toward the Garmin Venue 3 because it has the latest 5th gen heart rate sensor and the ability to track naps. The Venue 2 didn’t perform very well in the sleep tracking comparison, and I expect the Venue 3 to be a little better, but not much. I think my other option is an Apple watch, but I don’t like that I would have to charge it daily and how can I use it as a sleep tracker if I am having to charge it when I sleep. I might have to get a Garmin Venue 3 and a Whoop and use both. Anyone have a better recommendation?

Thank you for these amazing videos. The scientist in me loves all the data. I have a Garmin Vivoactive 4S and I like it a lot except for the sleep tracker that I find really bad (can't tell anything about the phases, but the awake or falling sleep times are way off most of the time, so it is useless). I would really like not to have to wear two devices. If it is not too much to ask, which device would you recommend with decent heart rate tracking, gps included, can be used for swimming and that has a better sleep tracker that the Garmin Vivoactive 4s? I am an Android user. Thank you!!!!

Have you ever done a test on sleep tracking for night shifters? I work in healthcare at night and have tried several watches and none of them seem to be close to being accruate with sleep times etc. when I am sleeping during the day. Even when I sit to chart some nights a few of them have thought I have started to sleep. Might be a good comparison video as there are a ton of shift workers that are also athletes looking for a good combo.

[@pieterboning]

Great video! I bet the deviation in location information from the watch's GPS will correlate very well with the amount of trees or buildings in the area 😜I have a Garmin Instinct and for the last two months have been running the same path. The path has a good combination of open fields, forests, buildings, etc. and I've seen exactly that. From my knowledge of electromagnetics and the way GPS signals travel, it's due to reflections of the GPS signals against objects, causing them to take longer to arrive at your watch and that influences the triangulation calculation. I love the Instinct though, the battery seems like it lasts forever, but I want to pair it with a chest strap to get more accurate HR information.

in the near future it would be great extending the scope of metrics analysis into estimation algorithms becoming mainstream with many brands such as vo2max, lactate threshold, recovery time, movement form tracking for cadence/rhytm and exercise form estimations and so on. complemented with other daily use periphereals it seems smart watches will become much more diverse than expected (eg. huawei trusport and other algorithms currently in development)

[@manuelaliculmartincic6409]

I really enjoy your thorough and detailed reviews! I'm having issues with choosing a smartwatch. If a smartwatch has good ECG, it lacks sleep tracking quality, if has a good battery life, it doesn't have body temperature scan 😅 These are just examples.. Could you, and this is coming because I can quantify how many smartwatches have you reviewed😅 suggest a smartwatch that ticks these boxes: - ecg - sleep tracker - body temperature scan - oxymeter - good enough battery (not daily charge) Other features, I can live with them and without them. These are most important to me at the time. Anyways, have a good Easter 💐🐣🥚

Great video, thanks for this! I'm looking for one specific thing and would appreciate your insight on this. I want something that would wake me up in the ideal sleep phase and maybe some sleep data as well, but the waking up is the most important thing and it to be really precise. I tried a Honor Band 7 but it seemed to fail at this task, the smart wake simply would just wake me up every time at the end of the 30 min. wake peroid, even though many times I was in a deep state (which is also pretty innacurate as you showed it too in another video) and well within the 30 min I was in a light state as well but it never did wake up during those. Now I'm thinking about trying the Inspire 3 or the Sleep as Android app with smart bulbs from IKEA so it would monitor my movement in bed and gradually turn on the light in the dark room I sleep in. Do you have any other recommendation perhaps?

He's starting to have heart/blood preassure issues and I would like to buy him something that can track his vitals and call the ambulance automatically in case he's alone or sleeping. Is there any brand/specific device you would suggest? Thank you for the help.

As always, a clear en trustfull review. Is it possible to test the fenix 7X or 7 after the latest firmware updates (vs 11+)

You have the perfect voice for video. The tone, cadence, rhythm, just perfect. The pronunciation is very clear on every word. Your voice resonates warmth and trustworthiness. You are already winning in life, professionally, however if you ever consider a hobby, you would the perfect voice for audiobooks.

Dear Rob, thank you very much for this great content! I would like to ask if you can make a new Withings scanwatch review? Thanks

[@Blackfataz]

Thanks for your Amazing job!! But in my opinion it lacks the battery life because personally i don't want to charge the battery every day or every 2 days. The best tracker is a mix (health tracking /sleep tracking/battery life) Tanks again and happy New Year, Rob.

Hi, could you do a video to compare the accuracy and health advice between the Whoop and the combination of using an Apple Watch + Athlytic app? I have seen other content creators say athlytic is a great and cheaper alternative to whoop, however the advice and accuracy is not as comprehensive as whoop. Could you make an analysis of how much better/worse these options are considering the cost savings? Ideally I would like to get an apple watch SE with athlytics to have data like whoop at a discount. Thanks!

[@techp0p]

From the data it looks like the Apple Watch SE 2022 is the best bang for your buck out of all the Apple devices, being one of the cheaper models and also towards the higher end of the spectrum in most metrics. Great video, thanks for sharing your findings!

Hi, thanks for your insightful videos. What is your opinion on Huawei Watch D? Have you had a chance to have it in your hands?

[@ashtonbaczak2359]

What have you found to be the best options if I only care about sleep duration and not stages. Are fitbits, whoop, oura, and apple all pretty accurate at this or are some better than other significantly? Thanks!
