- How accurate is the fitness data on the Apple Watch & Garmin? @TejasHullur & I went to a Sports Lab in NYC to test the VO2 max, Blood Lactate, Heart Rate Zones, Carb vs Fat burning during running, and many other variables to compare to our Apple Health (& Garmin) data.

Summary:
Both dudes Apple Watch showed a VO2Max of 3mL/kg/min higher than what the lab result said and the one dude's Garmin showed the same result as the Apple Watch - so potentially it overestimated BUT they were actually only performing a VO2Peak (meaning they could have exerted even more and gone harder) so the result from the lab was probably a bit lower than it actually is.
Suggestion:
Shervin homie you should do a program and then come back to the lab in a few months and see how it changes
Thanks for saving me the time!
Usually it highly underestimates the numbers!
Thnx
Thank you for the TLDR!

Great Video. The lab-tech was amazing at explaining everything !
Good video Shervin. It looks like your channel has picked up a lot of new subscribers recently. Its well deserved.
Excellent video and super helpful! I was also curious how accurate the VO2 Max measurement capability of the Ultra watch was and how it compared under clinical conditions. It’s really neat to see they are similar. Many thanks for the video and God bless you all!
Thanks for ruining the video
@@veeco3110ruined or helped. No need to watch a long as video for a concise answer. 😂
Kudos, that was a great assessment. Lots to learn from that info provided.
Very informative video. Thank you so much! Will do zone training from now on. God bless you brothas
Clicked this, couldn't stop watching, well done and very entertaining and informative!
I love just hanging out with you guys in these videos. Also...how many miles a day do you do to become an elite runner?! Love the video.
Elite runner. Elite content. You and Tejas are fun to watch together!
haha YES!
Just stumbled upon you, this is great stuff. Nice work and outstanding video.
Great video.. thanks guys👊🏻
Wow this has got to be my favorite video from your channel! Good stuff man, very informative video.
Thank you! What topic should I cover next?
Thanks for doing this! Have been curious about this for a while. I have no idea how Apple calculates this.
It’s cool to see the tech works. Plus to see it compared to “real” info
Really great vid - thanks. How much did the test cost?
This is a really cool video! Thanks for sharing!
love your videos keep up the awesome quality
Appreciate it! What should I make next?
Two science adventurers on another journey. Awesome video.
Great video. I always wonder how good the Apple Watch estimates are. Seems they’re pretty good. If the objective was to see how close they are to reality though, you might have taken in someone who isn’t an athlete (maybe a little overweight or a non-runner) to see how well the watch works on muggles!
Thanks for sharing. Very interesting and informative. Extremely helpful. God bless!!
Thank you for commenting & watching!!
The most underrated youtuber! love your videos
You made mention of your zone 2 training but I did not see a video on it. Could you expand on that?
great video, great editing, definitely deserves more attention
Thank you Liam!!!
Lab result vs apple watch result 13:10
You have the potential to be a huge content creator on RUclips. Keep up the hustle. Great videos.
That means so much!
Thank you for this. You saved me some money.
Great video. How much does that assessment cost? Great information to know!
Great comparison video. Would love see a body metrics comparison with a home scale like Renpho or similar to a proper Dexa scan. Keep up the good work guys! Cheers.
We did that! Have you seen this video? Or something different?

@@ShervinShares Just seen it now. Missed it previously. Thanks mate
@@400mdw lmk if you want me to make an updated video!
hey Shervin thanks for the test. just wondering how to get the watch to read VO2 MAX? i run with the Workoutdoors app, but no VO2 Max data. thanks
you make awesome videos dude
Can you do a video on Apple Fitness+? Would be interesting to see you opinion on it.
Hey awesome video 😊. Which one of you had the high fat burning capacity? What kind of diet and trading do you do? Do you do any fat adaptation training ie carb restricted or fasted training?
First time I’ve come across your channel. Such an informative video. Really enjoyed watching it.
thank you!! what topic/idea should I cover next?
@@ShervinShares thank you for your reply! I think explainer videos would be super helpful. They could be shorts videos as well. Like what is VO2? Why is it important? How it’s measured and how to improve it if it’s low. That kind of thing. But I’m sure whatever you decide to do, you’ll do it entertainingly and informatively ✌️
I found you yesterday. I'm very impressed by the content and testing.
Thank you!! What should I test next??
@@ShervinShares I'm into all the accuracy testing for wearables. I'm currently torn between the pixel and the iPhone, so I'm doing a lot of research on whether there are comparable wearables in the Android space.
Mine was actually the opposite my lab value was 57 and apple watch is 52, however, I definitely pushed myself because the person doing the test told me based on my lactate numbers he expected me to stop sooner.
great video champ 🙌
Excellent- good way to put the watch through the paces 👍
yessss what should I test next?
Why did you look like a tan Will Tennyson in the thumbnail? Lol Great video bro!
Shit that “anything that’s not moving you forward is slowing you down” hit deep 🤧
Didn’t quite get that part, biceps, delts and traps slowing him down?
Is vo2max valuable for lifting or is it more for running? Cool video.
Great video @ShervinShares - thanks. Can you share how much you paid per person?
Thanks for doing this video!
Looked everywhere for this exact information and NOBODY did this.
You are the GOAT shervin haha.
woooo - what data point should I check next
Great video as always
TY Brandon! What topic should I make a video about next?
Another awesome video, Shervin!
Great to see our 2 watches (Ultra and 7X) are doing a solid job!
Incidentally, your traps are massive! 💪
lolol traps are slowing me down!
@@ShervinShares All you have to do is stop training them for a year and they're gone. But something tells me you like them even if they're slowing you down lol. Not blaming you btw, I too have more muscle on upper body than needed for running, but it looks good:)
@@yianpap6093 hhahaha i dont even directly work out my traps! i think its genetic - but lets gooo
@@ShervinShares Really?! Wow, like some guys with brick-like calves! Let's go then indeed, nice video:)
Just started doing Zone 2 as well. ITS FLIPPIN HARD TO DO! My Apple Watch telling me "Your above your Hearth Rate!" makes me slow down... It's so opposite of what I've done my whole life up till now. And I'm 46. Great Video and love how you guys keep it as real as possible with all the details!
Once you get use to it, it's great. Makes endurance more fun when it isn't as extreme.
@@nech060404 I want to start Zone 2 training, but I'm afraid my pace to match Zone 2 would be very slow. But if I persevere through it, will my Zone 2 pace eventually reach 6k/min a.k.a 9:40/mile ? That is my current speed and I'm able to do a half-marathon with it (I'm guessing at Zone 3/4.. my Apple Watch is on the way)
@@alexiluffy216 was 9:40 your half marathon speed? Yes you will increase, but zone 2 training isn't about reaching your max speed, it's about training at the optimum fatigue to gains ratio. You can do zone 2 every morning but race pace would kill. Me personally I zone 2 train at 142 bpm but half marathon race at 155.
OK so this turned out to be a lot more interesting than I thought it was going to be. And I expected it to be interesting so that’s a pretty big compliment. I would be fascinated to perform one of these test, how much does it cost? I need to start researching this. I’ve done DEXA scans a few times for my body composition but this is something different altogether and I would love to get this data at least once so I know a starting point.
The running impact on the body on a road is more than treadmill. VO2 max will be similar in done on same platform.
Shervin!!! This was a movie!!!
Featuring the greatest on the planet #Tejas
Where is this lab located in nyc,can you share it in description box?
Sherwin, cool your horses my guy 😂
will recording ‘outdoor run’ on apple watch ultra for indoor treadmill use still report useful cardio fitness measurements? or is the gps & outdoor run absolutely necessary?
How much did they charge for this type of testing? I'm in Texas, but I'm curious how the pricing compares.
Hi Shervin, I live around NYC and I see there are three different services offered at this location: Running Mechanics Analysis, Running Basic Package, and Running Elite Package. Which one did you do in this video? Thanks!
Could you please do a video testing the different zones? Especially how accurate zone 2 is vs. Medical lab / lactate below 2mmol?
great idea!! yes I want to
I’m curious; you mentioned that 3 months earlier your fat and carb utilization was flatline compared to the current test. Did you change your diet, and if so what did you change?
The VO2 max test is expensive (usually around $150 for portable equipment at a gym) and it usually only lasts for around 10-15 minutes at most, but the discussion with the certified technician afterwards make it MORE than worth it. You'll gain invaluable information aside from a simple VO2 max number. To make the VO2 max test worth it, you should either take the test before starting a workout program OR take it after you've established a decent cardio base to improve upon.
where can you find a lab near you that does blood testing and VO2 max testing
Hahaha Tejas “shervin signed me up to do some tests …🙄”
I’m getting my Apple Watch ultra next week I’m so excited 😆
WOOOO stoked for you
You guys are awesome
mine was quite close! 46 from lab and 47 from watch.
Best takeaway quote (which I would apply to life in general): “Anything that isn’t moving you forward, is slowing you down”
It's a shame that you have only 110k subscribers. Channel's worth millions of subscribers for sure.
This is so well made wow
WOOO want to be in my next experiment?? hahaha
@@ShervinShares downnnn:)
you keep putting out such great content., I need to test myself.., to check if I am still an athlete.
I always joke with the kids I coach, that I was once an athlete.., maybe I still am only one way to find out
once an athlete, always an athlete!!
Interesting!
dang Shervin I didn’t know Apple could track that type of stuff 😮😮😮 4:30
How much was the lab test? I must have missed the pricing portion of the test.
If there any way how i can set some limit of hurt rate when apple watch start alarm me that i need to chill down?
similar results I've seen in other vids. between 2-3 higher on the watches.
This was a great video! Always love seeing these VO2 max tests in the lab vs. wearable values.
Can you test Coros Pace 2 vo2max to see if it is more or less similar to the lab test?
Keep up the awesome videos =]
this one earned a sub
THANK YOU! What do you want to see next?
yo that doctor is incredible, so much good info
seriously the best
She said “balls to the wall” LMFAO 🤣
My apple watch says 46, recently went into DexaFit to get my V02max and I was at 59.3. Just a bit of variance!
You don't need to accumulate time near VO2max to improve it. Just accumulating time, preferably above 50% of VO2max will be good enough. The training volume is the key to improvement though.
I used to have 78ml VO2max 😢
20 years have passed and now I’m around 55-58
This lab lady is the best, sign me up😂
The ice cream and burger king comment made me want to subscribe to the channel:) No judgements here man.
how much would a test like this cost?
A VO2max of 53 is about a 5'30/5'35' mile.
To run a 5' mile you should reach a VO2max of 59-60 (!)
So workout did you select on the Apple Watch to get the reading? Only 3 outdoor workouts record the VO2 Max.
Yes and it's based on GPS readings outside (it specifically says outside on apple) so this does not make sense to me.
Why not try Samsung galaxy watch 5pro?
Apple designers are a lot more capable than people give them credit. Their Health department is good enough for people to see trends, and that's what you need anyway. Get after it!
Hi @Servin, great channel. Question, when you're running, what earbud/earphone do you use? I can't find the right thing - apple just keep falling out of my ear once an element of sweat is detected (within 10 secs of starting)
I do AirPods Pro. But making a fitness headphone video soon!
Thanks man, they seem to come out top on a lot of the articles and videos ive eaten up@@ShervinShares
My watch always tells me I’m “below average”. I live in Colorado and spend most weekends hiking or skiing in high elevation. I feel like Apple doesn’t correct for the thinner air at high elevation, since every breath up here is sometimes 2/3rd the O2 at sea level.
All of a sudden Apple Watch ultra sells have sky rocketed after this video 😂😅😄
Cool lady running the tests
the coolest!
Would really love to have had more information at the end about how accurate the zones were on the watches. You said 1 heartbeat out. Was this across all zones? I've started to do some zone 2 training and would love to know more about how accurate the zone is on my Garmin watch. Perhaps even narrow it down so I know where the exact zone 2 heart rate is.
Thank you for this video. I was going to pay at least $75 for this. No longer needed. Love it ❤
I thought the apple watches only calculate vo2 max with outdoor walk and run only???
Hey, congrats!!! I'm from Brazil and I really appreciate your videos.
But I have a question. Where on Apple Watch do you find the VO2max? Cause i don't find mine 😅.
In the health-app, under "show all health data", scroll down a bit.
@@MrJBacon thanks 💜
When she said balls to the walls 😂
What were your testing conditions when you tested the Apple Watch VO2 max? Were you running outside, for how long?
I feel the content of the last few months have been only about the Apple Watch and I just keep watching. 🤷🏾♀️
What other stuff do you want to see?? Haha I’m too obsessed with apple watch
good compare video
you mean apple watch not bad? right?
where can i find the data shown on the apple watch in the thumbnail ?
that happens while you're doing a workout. scroll the digital crown to get to that screen mid-workout
Did you get the doctor to say big ass lungs? Love it.
paid her top dollar
What brand are you glass at the start of this video?
Warby Parker!
