@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 nothing WAS wrong with it but then they repealed roe v wade and now the data that those apps collected is dangerous because it can be used to track down women that maybe have had done what they deem illegal.
I wonder, if it's for a woman, why the app would ask you what you identify as. I mean, if you are getting this for personal use I'd assume you either are a woman or identify as one.
So basically the ring is a scam… horrible customer service, turning off comments, doesnt connect to health apps, scuffs like crazy, app is not available outside the US AND $269. Absolute garbage and more e waste.
I consider the oura scammy too. They gave you one month of subscription before, now they give 6 months. I sincerely believe the one month is exactly because that's the time you can send online bought devices back for a full refund. So you will only realize you have to have an expensive subscription after you can't send it back... And the base price is already super expensive. If they make an android app, they can take on the oura's market for sure.
These don't make sense. A small metal ring on a finger shouldn't be able to accurately determine sleep patterns and heart rate. There's a reason watches make sense because they are on the wrist where your pulse is. If you've been to a doctor they can get pulse rates from your finger but it's usually your index finger with a bulky clasp that goes over your entire finger applying pressure.
@@nylohro4091There is less movement and hair on your finger. The oura ring has different sensors all around the circumference of your finger. A watch only the top
I appreciate the section talking about customer support and them turning off their Instagram comments. Feels like a nice bit of extra info we don't normally get.
Fun fact about "Water Resistance": They assume you're in COLD water, so if you're in a situation with warm/hot water (washing dishes, showers, hot-tubs, etc.) then that water resistance is going to fail faster and more reliably.
@@cthecheese1620 No problem, I learned this lesson the hard way when my Fitbit Versa (which is meant to be water resistant) suddenly had its screen pop off while washing the dishes.
@@jabbahut755 god i hate micro usb. i don't know if it's just me but the connector has so little resistance the cable gets unplugged all the time and it's so annoying.

I like how she feels bad about saying the ring isn't good so she tries to say it in a nice way, but still stands by the fact she would not recommend it.
If you don't mind the smart part of a smart watch you could get a Garmin that will give you plenty of health and fitness tracking with big battery life.
That's what I settled on. Gives me all the fitness tracking I could want, notifies me of texts, can control my phone's music, and most importantly I only need to charge it once a month so you can actually use the sleep and HRV tracking.

Yeah, same price, you get a watch instead of a ring, battery life of 7+ days. water resistant, free app, music player built in on some models and a kick ass waranty. they replaced my defect 42mm garmin epix 2 with a 47mm garmin epix pro, no questions asked. + if you want to go cycling, you want to manage your weight, you want to track your shots while out golfing garmin has basically a whole range of products for tons of sports that all work together. great ecosystem. I don't get why you would pay 300+ for a ring and then pay an extra monthly fee to get less...
Commenting so more people see this. I have a Garmin Venu 2. Styled like a regular smart watch, but with good batteri life and health and fitness trackning. It has less smart features than a Apple wathc, but it has the one I care about such as notifications, Google Pay, and Spotify player. Recently got a chest strap accessori to get rock solid heartrate tracking on my runs.
Why exactly did they deposit titanium on zirconium again? Because it sells well to throw those words around? I mean, both are cool metals, but they seem rather unnecessary for a smart ring.
My watch's bezel has a titanium PVD coating, it is super durable, at least in my case. I have had my watch for a couple years now, and no scratches. And I've forgotten to take it off to work on cars before.
I charge my Garmin once every 11 days. Edit: This is not a complaint. I walk a lot and use the GPS feature. The screen is always on (liquid crystal). The battery life has been great so far (1 year use).
I have had 2 or 3 Garmin smartwatches, and the battery life was always great until they passed the 1 year mark… then they inexplicably went from a week or more to MAYBE a day… super weird… I’ve had my withings scan watch for a couple years now and it’s still going strong… though I do miss some of the Garmin’s features

Don't be a conspiracy nut. Being US only almost certainly has nothing to do with menstrual tracking in particular, but rather has to do with certifications and regulatory approval for the device and app that they simply didn't bother doing in any other country. That, or they just didn't want to sell it in Canadian dollars or something - the app store doesn't care why the developer region-locked the app, and the developer doesn't control the nature of that lock. As for reporting to a government agency, no that's not realistic either. That isn't to say that certain state laws couldn't enable a court to subpoena records from this company - which is why a lot of people stopped using period tracking apps in the US - but the chances that the company is willingly and proactively selling that data to the government? Not likely at all.
@@Lord_zeel "but the chances that the company is willingly and proactively selling that data to the government", ah yes, cos they need to sell *directly* to the government for the government to acquire it. Also with how companies dont care about data privacy i wouldnt be surprised if they did sell directly to the government.
If you're in or moving to a state (since it's US only at this time, but if they go global, also country) where abortion is illegal or very restricted, please save yourself the trouble and avoid or discontinue using the menstrual tracking functionality of this device, or any other app that does that.

So I either have to focus on it and when to charge it and when to put it back on or I miss nights of sleep data or big chucks of the day so the data I do get from it is mostly useless.

I see Sarah in the thumbnail, I can't click fast enough. :P Even if she's showcasing a product not necessarily meant for me and that I have zero interest in XD More serriously, any company that disables comments on their pages is one I simply avoid. Period.
can definitely recommend a withings watch, I've had two over the last 6 years and barely had a problem with them (only got a new one cause I liked the design better). Though my battery life has gone down, it's more like a week now but it charges really quickly and gives you a headsup well in advance

@@svgPhoenix Its obviously a long term solution with a low sales period ofc. Thats assuming a revolution can possibly bring in better leadership than their democratic elections lol
They are quite huge for women, but most Garmin watches last 21 days if you wear it 24/7 with heart rate monitor on. Mine gets 30 day or so because when i take it off i put it in battery saver. The watch also uses reflective light MIP display for the screen so 99.9% of the time im not using my backlight. Just ambient light reflected off the screen. Full color screen too. Newer models use AMOLED and still get 16 days battery.
The first 4 minutes really feels like this is an ad for the ring which might just be because Sarah is not used to presenting especially since the conclusion is to not recommend the product at the end.
Sarah was a great host for this, as someone who wears rings and can speak to the woman's health portion of the product (even if she didn't care for this implementation at all). She clearly struggled with the negative recommendation at the end and should probably have been even more negative, but she did say she didn't recommend it and stated some good reasons for it.
Shout out to the editor throwing some polite shade, writing out what USB stands for. and yes, I am old enough to remember the DB9 DB15, and DB25 ports.
Blood oxygen changes in seconds based on your breathing. The fact it said 95% and then a short time later said 100% is super normal. A rainy below 95% doesn't necessarily mean you need to see a doctor, unless it's always that low, especially if you're breathing deeply and the number isn't going up.
13:25 Can we please normalize the "looking at the advertising" that the company does ? That was absolutely crucial information that no one else is going to tell you.
Ok shoutout to the instagram sleuthing and discovering customer service problems! Them turning off comments is super sus and it touches on such a key part of owning a device, feel like all shortcircuit unboxings and main channel reviews should include this where applicable
USB-C is required by EU law, so it’s just easier to manufacture to fit that. Also, your watch should take a relatively short time to charge. I wear it while sleeping for sleep tracking and charge it during my morning routine
I have always loved how the whoop solves the charging problem. It has a portable wireless charger that attaches to the watch its self. Such a smart way to make sure you never have to take off your watch.
I will stick with Dr. Mike on these things. The information they give you don’t really serve you other than to gamify your health, and often does the opposite by giving you health anxiety
3:00 important note: titanium can get scratched when painted. That's why premium Eyeglasses does not have painting on. So that's why also iPhone 15 pro is scratchable. The issue is not titanium. Titanium is very light and resistant, but the coating is not.
I literally just use a Fitbit Versa 4, it does steps, sleep, 24/7 heart rate, etc. and I only have to charge it once a week, I feel like no big tech RUclipsrs talk about them. They’re cheaper, have better battery life, and do all the basics that you need. And you still get notifications if you want them
Yeah I use a Sense that I got dirt cheap back when it was being replaced by the Sense 2. Paid something like $175 for it, and it does everything I need. Could do a bit better with floor tracking as I'm *pretty sure* I don't go up 30-45 flights of stairs a day like it claims (maybe 10-15 at most), but other than that the sleep tracking is accurate, the smartwatch features are good enough, and the health data is meaningful without being overly complicated.
love seeing Sarah in videos and love the videos :D would love to see you guys review a garmin watch like the: Garmin epix pro gen 2 Garmin instinct 2 (this one has really good battery life can last forever if you go outside for more than 2 hours a day) Garmin fennix 7pro you guys allways criticise smart watches for only having a day battery life ect and every time i think of the Garmin watch ive got and the amazing battery life you guys may want to cover garmin watches or do something with them
Yeah this rings are not for everyone. The reason is blood flow in fingers and palms' different reaction to different arm positions. Wrist devices are more accurate for health monitoring.
11:47 Smart rings = wearable e-waste aside, the fact the app is free to use is its sole saving grace. I don't want to pay extra $$$ per month for my data to be eventually stolen in a data breach anyway...
I purchased a knockoff Fitbit for $25 that I have to charge once a week. Paying more than 10 times that amount for a ring that you have to charge twice as offten seems quite insane to me.
I have tried Evie twice. My first ring, the battery died way too quickly. The second one was defective too. It started to separate. Like the edges became rough. I’ve decided to try another smart ring. If that one doesn’t work for me…I’m done.
0:07 I charge mine right when I get home from work, because work doesn’t let me access my phone as much as when I’m home. I’m just trading which screen I’m using. By my bedtime, my watch is charged, and I wear it through the night because the vibration on my wrist is so good at waking me up. The Apple Watch 6 that I own today, will last to 8pm each day after wearing it all night. Just take yours off right when you get home.
TLDR/W: 270$ for a piece of junk with many red flags pointing towards a complete scam on all levels. This video could have been a lot shorter, but at least we got to see Sarah again.
Blood Oxygen is just in all of these devices because it is easy too measure. Not because it is usually super relevant. And most metrics are so inaccurate because these rings do only a few checks per day. Some let you set the frequency, but less then 1 per hours is fairly normal for battery life.
Wait, the app asks you "how you Identify". I'm open on what people want to be, or feel. But on a health based situation like this, shouldn't this be the Biological Gender, due to body differences? I mean if you select, you want to select your cycles, and then pick "Male", isn't that like counterin that question? And your Body-Metabolism is completely different if you are Male/Female. And yes, probably after you went through transistion, whatsoever, then things are bit different, but You are still biologically one of those two options.
You should always remove jewelry when cleaning your hands, or if they get wet. You need to clean underneath them and make sure there is no moisture trapped underneath them.
My experience has shown that if you want a piece of smart fitness tech and you don't want to spend a lot of money, get a Fitbit. Mine typically lasts 5-6 days on a charge. It's not particularly accurate for things like step counting though. If you want something that's top of the line, and money is no object, get a Garmin watch with the solar charging.
Eevee Ring? They really went full appeal to women with the name. But *did you know* the Vaporeon Ring is the most compatible name for the men's version?
Please do not wear "waterproof" tech in the shower or while doing dishes. They can resist cold water sure, but heat + soap every single day will definitely eat its way into the device before warranty is up and they usually don't have water damage on the warranty either. Source: Fitbit screwed me.
Her saying her blood oxygen was lower than 95% and she should see a doctor....me reading my apple health app saying my Blood oxygen was 90% earlier today...
Yeah... unless you were furiously masturbating while fighting a bear at the top of Mt. Everest that's not even remotely accurate. For perspective: if you were in a hospital and actually gave that reading you'd be intubated. An even remotely healthy adult should never dip below 99% when resting, it sounds like the Apple pulse oximeter is just as trash as the Evie. Source: Spent 2 years battling stupidity, trying to off myself "accidentally". Ended up spending 2 months in the hospital extremely lucky to survive, with 2 weeks of that on life support. After surgery I couldn't keep my blood oxygen above 90% and they intubated me and put me on said life support. When they woke me up I was extremely weak (when you spend 2 weeks not even breathing for yourself your muscles atrophy to a shocking degree; I couldn't even grip a foam cup and the first time they sat me up I passed out) and desperate to get the giant tube out of my throat, but they wouldn't remove it until I could keep my blood oxygen above 95% for a set period of time without a single dip. The machine would beep when it dipped below that, and the few times it happened the despair of knowing the tube was staying in was enough to make me pass back out. What finally got me to throw up the white flag and call an ambulance was the combination of 1) losing 3 units of blood the night before by developing a (relatively small, I mean for an artery) arterial bleed and after realizing that the sound I was hearing was not indeed my dog pissing inside but my blood spraying across the room thumb-over-the-end-of-a-hose style and hitting a gatorade bottle that was on the ground ~6' away I sighed and said "well... I need a cigarette before I deal with this" and then did that extremely stupid thing, and 2) the other massive issues I had at the time making me feel like no matter how much and how fast I desperately gasped for air I still felt like I was drowning. I passed out standing before I could even take a single step and fell backwards onto my bed frame, cracking two vertebrae in my back. So after regaining consciousness in a heap on the floor with my back feeling like I got hit by a car, laying in yet another giant pool of blood I realized "oh shit if I don't get help right now I'm literally gonna die" and my obnoxious survival instincts kicked in and I made the call. If you read all this blabbering thanks and kisses.
can lmg make a Sarah only channel? her goofball antics, that great smile, and infectious laugh, I'm convinced the company wouldn't be nearly as positive vibes without her

3 minutes later: "you can wear it while washing the dishes" 🤦♂️😆
I see Sarah in the thumbnail, I can't click fast enough. :P Even if she's showcasing a product not necessarily meant for me and that I have zero interest in XD More serriously, any company that disables comments on their pages is one I simply avoid. Period.
not creepy at all..
I had the same problem of me not remembering to charge my Apple Watch, but i switched to withings which last like 30 days. Happy ever since
can definitely recommend a withings watch, I've had two over the last 6 years and barely had a problem with them (only got a new one cause I liked the design better). Though my battery life has gone down, it's more like a week now but it charges really quickly and gives you a headsup well in advance
So many sponsors that don't sell to Europe 😢
Last Christmas I was sooo ready to buy a pair ov Vessi's.
NOPE
imagine what I feel like being a Brazilian. companies don't even bother trying to sell here anymore
@adnanbezerra6014
Maybe you guys should, idk, revolt against your obscenely corrupt government & demand more 🤷🏻♂️
@kunimitsune177 "no companies want to do business in my country"
"Just revolt against your government lmao"
Dude what are you smoking? Not to mention that active violence tends to decrease market participation...
@@svgPhoenix Its obviously a long term solution with a low sales period ofc. Thats assuming a revolution can possibly bring in better leadership than their democratic elections lol
lucky they saved you from buying youtube sponsor products. You should be happy
I see Sarah, I click. No a/b required.
I appreciate Sarah's perspective. Good video.
They are quite huge for women, but most Garmin watches last 21 days if you wear it 24/7 with heart rate monitor on. Mine gets 30 day or so because when i take it off i put it in battery saver. The watch also uses reflective light MIP display for the screen so 99.9% of the time im not using my backlight. Just ambient light reflected off the screen. Full color screen too.
Newer models use AMOLED and still get 16 days battery.
The first 4 minutes really feels like this is an ad for the ring which might just be because Sarah is not used to presenting especially since the conclusion is to not recommend the product at the end.
Its short circuit, its a product showcase.
What about Garmin vivomove series? No need to charge often, elegant and.. okay not really for night probably. Pretty good stuff.
Exactly, I replaced my apple watch with a forerunner 255, and it´s a huge step up
If you are looking for fitness tracker which have a long battery life, companies like garmin have really nice options in most price ranges
Sarah was a great host for this, as someone who wears rings and can speak to the woman's health portion of the product (even if she didn't care for this implementation at all). She clearly struggled with the negative recommendation at the end and should probably have been even more negative, but she did say she didn't recommend it and stated some good reasons for it.
Shout out to the editor throwing some polite shade, writing out what USB stands for.
and yes, I am old enough to remember the DB9 DB15, and DB25 ports.
Me using DB9 today 🤡
This was an awesome review! Thank you for the honesty!
Maby Sarah can also try the Galaxy Ring when it comes out?
Yaaaayyyyyy, sarahs back
I appreciate LMGs honesty here. While not female, I do like to see LMG professionally recommend their community steer clear of a product. Well done.
3:29 "swimming" with a weak 1m water resistance? I wouldn't even trust it to resist to wash the dishes...
That is very disappointing for a ring.
I love Sarah's energy and fun. Useful review. Great video, thank you.
Blood oxygen changes in seconds based on your breathing. The fact it said 95% and then a short time later said 100% is super normal. A rainy below 95% doesn't necessarily mean you need to see a doctor, unless it's always that low, especially if you're breathing deeply and the number isn't going up.
13:25 Can we please normalize the "looking at the advertising" that the company does ? That was absolutely crucial information that no one else is going to tell you.
Ok shoutout to the instagram sleuthing and discovering customer service problems! Them turning off comments is super sus and it touches on such a key part of owning a device, feel like all shortcircuit unboxings and main channel reviews should include this where applicable
My garmin watch has great tracking and the battery lasts over a week.
USB-C is required by EU law, so it’s just easier to manufacture to fit that.
Also, your watch should take a relatively short time to charge. I wear it while sleeping for sleep tracking and charge it during my morning routine
Nice to see Sarah presenting! Great job, she could for sure develop into a great host.
Definitely need Sarah or Bell to try and review the Galaxy Ring since they have experience with the Rings.
We missed you Sarah!
I see Sarah, I click. Seriously, she should be an LTT main channel presenter.
More Sarah please!
"I need to charge my ring." Never thought I'd have to say that.
"i wanna throw it so bad but i hit the tv everytime" *hits ceiling*
Not the ceiling, that's like 30 feet tall. I think it was the light bounce/diffuser above the set.
Can we have more Sarah videos, please? She's so pleasant to listen to.
I always enjoy the videos with Sarah in them! She is always so lively and cheery!
I have always loved how the whoop solves the charging problem. It has a portable wireless charger that attaches to the watch its self. Such a smart way to make sure you never have to take off your watch.
Sarah with glasses looks 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I always like seeing Sarah. She should do more of these.
I will stick with Dr. Mike on these things. The information they give you don’t really serve you other than to gamify your health, and often does the opposite by giving you health anxiety
Maybe not a short circuit video, but I'd love a comparison/roundup of a bunch of different wearables!
Nice job Sarah. Appreciate your happy attitude and objective review.
3:00 important note: titanium can get scratched when painted.
That's why premium Eyeglasses does not have painting on.
So that's why also iPhone 15 pro is scratchable.
The issue is not titanium. Titanium is very light and resistant, but the coating is not.
I literally just use a Fitbit Versa 4, it does steps, sleep, 24/7 heart rate, etc. and I only have to charge it once a week, I feel like no big tech RUclipsrs talk about them. They’re cheaper, have better battery life, and do all the basics that you need. And you still get notifications if you want them
Yeah I use a Sense that I got dirt cheap back when it was being replaced by the Sense 2. Paid something like $175 for it, and it does everything I need. Could do a bit better with floor tracking as I'm *pretty sure* I don't go up 30-45 flights of stairs a day like it claims (maybe 10-15 at most), but other than that the sleep tracking is accurate, the smartwatch features are good enough, and the health data is meaningful without being overly complicated.
@@NickCharlesexactly!
love seeing Sarah in videos and love the videos :D
would love to see you guys review a garmin watch
like the:
Garmin epix pro gen 2
Garmin instinct 2 (this one has really good battery life can last forever if you go outside for more than 2 hours a day)
Garmin fennix 7pro
you guys allways criticise smart watches for only having a day battery life ect and every time i think of the Garmin watch ive got and the amazing battery life
you guys may want to cover garmin watches or do something with them
Wow Sarah in glasses might be better than no glasses! Great look.
Garmin watches offer around a week or more of battery life, many style options (including analog hands in some models), and no monthly fees.
Finaly a new vid with sarah 😊
Yeah this rings are not for everyone. The reason is blood flow in fingers and palms' different reaction to different arm positions. Wrist devices are more accurate for health monitoring.
I love when Sarah is hosting !
Sarah! I missed you!
I never would have clicked on this content, but then I see Sarah and I gotta click
I’m a simple man. I see a Sarah video, I watch it.
11:47 Smart rings = wearable e-waste aside, the fact the app is free to use is its sole saving grace. I don't want to pay extra $$$ per month for my data to be eventually stolen in a data breach anyway...
I don't think charging any price except free for the companion app to hardware you bought is reasonable
Don't let yourself believe that monthly subscriptions are the norm
Sarah is one of my favourite hosts and this topic was awesome!
I purchased a knockoff Fitbit for $25 that I have to charge once a week.
Paying more than 10 times that amount for a ring that you have to charge twice as offten seems quite insane to me.
I have tried Evie twice. My first ring, the battery died way too quickly. The second one was defective too. It started to separate. Like the edges became rough. I’ve decided to try another smart ring. If that one doesn’t work for me…I’m done.
Can we get a follow-up when Sarah does find an option she prefers?
Awesome job Sarah. This was actually very comprehensive comparison! 👍🏻
0:07 I charge mine right when I get home from work, because work doesn’t let me access my phone as much as when I’m home. I’m just trading which screen I’m using.
By my bedtime, my watch is charged, and I wear it through the night because the vibration on my wrist is so good at waking me up.
The Apple Watch 6 that I own today, will last to 8pm each day after wearing it all night. Just take yours off right when you get home.
TLDR/W: 270$ for a piece of junk with many red flags pointing towards a complete scam on all levels. This video could have been a lot shorter, but at least we got to see Sarah again.
Blood Oxygen is just in all of these devices because it is easy too measure. Not because it is usually super relevant. And most metrics are so inaccurate because these rings do only a few checks per day. Some let you set the frequency, but less then 1 per hours is fairly normal for battery life.
Loving Sarah content!! She's such a great host, oozing positivity 🎉 cheers
Wait, the app asks you "how you Identify". I'm open on what people want to be, or feel. But on a health based situation like this, shouldn't this be the Biological Gender, due to body differences? I mean if you select, you want to select your cycles, and then pick "Male", isn't that like counterin that question? And your Body-Metabolism is completely different if you are Male/Female.
And yes, probably after you went through transistion, whatsoever, then things are bit different, but You are still biologically one of those two options.
Given the phrasing used, it would suggest it's more likely to be just used for how the app refers to you, etc, as opposed to the things you mention.

You should always remove jewelry when cleaning your hands, or if they get wet. You need to clean underneath them and make sure there is no moisture trapped underneath them.
My experience has shown that if you want a piece of smart fitness tech and you don't want to spend a lot of money, get a Fitbit. Mine typically lasts 5-6 days on a charge. It's not particularly accurate for things like step counting though. If you want something that's top of the line, and money is no object, get a Garmin watch with the solar charging.
Eevee Ring? They really went full appeal to women with the name. But *did you know* the Vaporeon Ring is the most compatible name for the men's version?
Please do not wear "waterproof" tech in the shower or while doing dishes. They can resist cold water sure, but heat + soap every single day will definitely eat its way into the device before warranty is up and they usually don't have water damage on the warranty either.
Source: Fitbit screwed me.
Simple: Just get any other watch that has decent battery life. I have to charge mine once a week for example.
Her saying her blood oxygen was lower than 95% and she should see a doctor....me reading my apple health app saying my Blood oxygen was 90% earlier today...
Yeah... unless you were furiously masturbating while fighting a bear at the top of Mt. Everest that's not even remotely accurate. For perspective: if you were in a hospital and actually gave that reading you'd be intubated. An even remotely healthy adult should never dip below 99% when resting, it sounds like the Apple pulse oximeter is just as trash as the Evie.
Source: Spent 2 years battling stupidity, trying to off myself "accidentally". Ended up spending 2 months in the hospital extremely lucky to survive, with 2 weeks of that on life support. After surgery I couldn't keep my blood oxygen above 90% and they intubated me and put me on said life support. When they woke me up I was extremely weak (when you spend 2 weeks not even breathing for yourself your muscles atrophy to a shocking degree; I couldn't even grip a foam cup and the first time they sat me up I passed out) and desperate to get the giant tube out of my throat, but they wouldn't remove it until I could keep my blood oxygen above 95% for a set period of time without a single dip. The machine would beep when it dipped below that, and the few times it happened the despair of knowing the tube was staying in was enough to make me pass back out. What finally got me to throw up the white flag and call an ambulance was the combination of 1) losing 3 units of blood the night before by developing a (relatively small, I mean for an artery) arterial bleed and after realizing that the sound I was hearing was not indeed my dog pissing inside but my blood spraying across the room thumb-over-the-end-of-a-hose style and hitting a gatorade bottle that was on the ground ~6' away I sighed and said "well... I need a cigarette before I deal with this" and then did that extremely stupid thing, and 2) the other massive issues I had at the time making me feel like no matter how much and how fast I desperately gasped for air I still felt like I was drowning. I passed out standing before I could even take a single step and fell backwards onto my bed frame, cracking two vertebrae in my back. So after regaining consciousness in a heap on the floor with my back feeling like I got hit by a car, laying in yet another giant pool of blood I realized "oh shit if I don't get help right now I'm literally gonna die" and my obnoxious survival instincts kicked in and I made the call. If you read all this blabbering thanks and kisses.
Good to see Sarah on camera again!
This was very interesting to watch! Would love to see Sarah more often as a host & it was quite interesting to see her perspective on the product.
I wish there would have been a comparison between the Apple Watch as well to see if it would have picked up some things the ring did not.
can lmg make a Sarah only channel? her goofball antics, that great smile, and infectious laugh, I'm convinced the company wouldn't be nearly as positive vibes without her
Thirsty
That last part about how they use socials should be on more videos, having comments turned off or ignoring negative comments on recent posts are big turnoffs
