It's very, very, very rare to see such a huge jump in accuracy so long after the release of a given type of heart rate monitor, I'm very impressed and commend Whoop for sticking with it and making the product better. Whoop 4 is getting long in the tooth and I'm not sure how well it compares to products like the Apple Watch which are offering more and more of the analytics Whoop specialized in but despite my concerns for Whoop long term, accuracy needs to be the foundation of a product like theirs and at least they made a big step forward.
I recall some time ago you were going to compare the accuracy of the Whoop 4.0 HR tracking when wearing it on the wrist v wearing it on your bicep. Have you done this comparison yet? If so, do you believe for activity tracking the Whoop 4.0 is more accurate via the bicep strap compared to the wrist?
yes, pls pls pls do that, i also wear it on the wrist (like most people i know how have a whoop) so it would be really interesting for me as well, pls do a review with comparing them, ps: love your work, u are doing exactly the thing i wanted to know, so keep up the good work!
The most intresting thing about Woop is that a youtuber (Shervin Shares) tested a woop, Apple watch and Garmin calorie burn calculation VS three different Sports Lab calorie count equipment, and the results show that the Whoop strap is the best in calorie count, and in worst caees it will (under-estimate) by only around 40 calories which is good to under estimate few calories that you burned than to over estimate. I might by woop and test along sidey Huawei Watch Fit 2.
Great video, and thanks for making it. Confirmed my suspicions that my HR activity has been more accurate over the past few days since the firmware update. When I wear the Whoop on my bicep, and an Apple Watch Ultra on my wrist, the two are giving me identical results during workouts. Great result.
I really enjoy the testing and breakdown that you do. There is always a question of how sponsors effect the e videos, but you provide the info to allow you to determine for yourself.
You should use a logarithmic x-axis for your watch ranking, the right side is very cramped while the left side is almost empty. A log plot would spread the data out and improve readability.
For those that have the whoop strap, is it comfortable for you while sleeping - and if you have something like the Oura ring, is the strap more or less comfortable? Thanks!
i have been watching your channel since long time and according to your reviews I actually bought the watch fit2 which seems to be the best value for any one can buy for what it offers of accuracy ( top tier after apple ) which significantly better than Samsung , whoop and fitbit so can you please retest it to make sure these numbers are actually that good
i also wait for that. now the one plus watch 3 is even already mentioned, not that it is coming soon, but if we need to wait much longer, at some point he can already start preordering the one plus watch 3 instead :P
Hey Rob do you live in Vienna? We are currently on vacation at Vienna and I swear I saw you at Schonttentor station yesterday - too star struck to say hi but I was certain it was you!
Hallo Rob Ich folge dir nun schon sehr lange und kaufe mir die Gadgets immer nach deinen Vorschlägen… top Job und vielen Dank für deine Arbeit!!! Nun habe ich schon seit einem halben Jahr die Apple Watch Ultra 2 und verwende diese 24/7 zum tracken meiner Werte. Nun möchte ich ein weiteres Gadget um das maximale herauszuholen. (Da z.b die Apple Watch nur sporadisch die Herzfrequenz aufnimmt). In deinem Video von letztem Jahr hast du eine Kombination von Apple Watch Ultra und dem Aura Ring vorgeschlagen. Ist dies für dich immernoch die Beste Kombination oder ist der Whoop (Oder etwas anderes) besser? Und weisst du wie gut die Synchronisierung der Daten auf dem Apple Health geht, da z.B Heartrate von beiden Devices getrackt wird? Vielen Dank für deine Zeit und einen schönen Tag, falls du das hier lensen solltest.
people overrate these devices. Its still just heartbeat and even with improvements a far cry from a H10. I dont have a problem if people want to play with it I also love toys and they have some use but with such a subscription service to be flooded with data that is still questionable in a lot of what they extrapolate from it, is just madness. Dont do it. Even HRV which is the new "cool" metric is less accurate about your cns adaptability state than a simple scandinavian orthostatic test. I still enjoy all that but always stay critical and dont pay subscriptions for that stuff.
Summary: Apple Watch is still king, but whoop pays well and seems comfy to use. That’s probably why Rob or Sherwin keep talking about instead of using an app like athlytic to get most of the whoop app inferences from a more accurate device for 30 dollar a year instead of every month. 😅
Dont forget that u have to own a Apple Watch first in order to use athlytic. The entry price in Germany is 449 Euros. Not a small amount. I think at the end of the day it depends on if u r already using the Apple Economy system or not.🙃
@@kenkanekiDE Fair, but I see a disproportionate amount of youtubers that talk about this type of gadget that have apple watches and out of nowhere come with using whoop and conveniently have an affiliate code and the 30 dollars a month may be a lower barrier to entry, but the overall cost over 1-2 years is higher while you may get the same experience and having a gadget that has more than one purpose and even not being a specialised piece of tech outperforms the Whoop.
@@kenkanekiDE The device only helps if you active use the data for behavior change e.g: using the whoop diary feature to mark what you did on the previous day/night and correlate that with your sleep quality/duration or tweak your training sessions if it is consistently showing low training load and see how your body responds
I am really enjoying your channel over the last couple of year. As a PhD student in cardiovascular health I also love to track my health metrics and can really appreciate your effort and work that goes into testing all these fitness devices. Furthermore, a couple of months ago I also decided to get a Whoop since I like the discreetness on the biceps, and the sleep tracking. Fantastic to see that the heart rate tracking improved via a software update. Makes me enjoy this little device even more. I also really like that you start to track other people! fantastic job!
Cars with unlockable features only if you pay for the subscription... Smartbands, smartrings and smartwatches that only work fully or partially by paying a subscription... Ahh... 😮💨 F*** subscriptions.
I had a whoop for 2 years before canceling. What you’re paying for is the software not the hardware. Just keep that in mind. Whoop ceo said, this model forces them to keep improving, which makes sense. You don’t want to buy a $300 product that goes obsolete in a few years. The spend another $300. With whoop, if you lose the device they’ll replace it for free. Just keep all this in mind.
@@ka124asI was hesitant at first about a monthly subscription but it kind of makes sense. after years with an Apple Watch, I think I’m gonna make the switch. An Apple Watch (I paid around $500 for the 44mm series 8 cellular) + AppleCare ($80) + one deductible (I think I paid $80 to have it replaced) is already 3 years on whoop
Hey Rob, i really love your viedeos. I was wondering if you plan to make a viedeo for the withings scanwatch 2? I would love to see how good it performs. Please keep going with this awesome work!
Thoughts on the Whoop 4.0 vs something like an Apple Watch SE with Athlytic? I work out and do strength training. I am not a runner/cycler. I am very interested in sleep and recovery (longevity). I find Garmin data to really be geared towards people like runners. Thanks!
Hej Rob, Did you recognize any change due to Sleep Tracking? Did it also improve with the update? Cristiano invested a lot of money so i think the team will improve a lot very soon :)
i’m using watchOS 11 beta 1 and i confess that new vitals screen is very good and useful . but i’m really surprised to see that now finally it records naps too!!
@@alessandrov.7569 Thanks. Do u know i don't have apple watch. I m not buying apple watch because they don't track automatically sleep and nap Now this is the best news for me Please make confirm for me. And let me know
I don't understand something about whoop: if I can connect the whoop with my apple watch, can I let the whoop to use my Apple watch data in order to give me the results about recovery / hours I need to sleep accordin to whoop algorithm?
@@Snowmans.Cradle ofcourse they are not as accurate as laboratory equipment, but if we run some tests on apple and huawei watches we might find the margin error small, for ecample if it's under estimating calorie expenditure by 40- calories, it would be quite acceptable for many people looking to lose weight. Watch the video of Shervin shares comparing smart watchs to sport lab machines when measuring how many calories burned during specific exercise.
@@Snowmans.Cradle Ofcourse it will never be a tally counter, it will have a margin of error of 10 steps more or less, for me this margin is acceptable.
I have a Whoop, Apple Watch 8, and a Polar H10. I wonder if there is something wrong with my Polar. I have had it for several years. Lately it seems to lose contact a lot and will stop keeping track of my heart rate. Today I did an intense session with my Assault Bike and wore all three at the same time. I also tested some of them together in the past. It was amazing how close they all were. The Whoop Strap 4 appears to be a big improvement. Almost always all three gave me the same heart rate within a beat or two. Often the Whoop and the Apple Watch were exactly the same. My Polar stopped tracking my heart rate a couple times and finally I got frustrated and took it off. The Whoop 4 is a great tool for tracking heart rate in my personal experience. It does a much better job of presenting all the data it collects. I'm glad I watched your video. It helped me when I was making a decision to try it. Have a blessed day.
He will get kickbacks from your monthly subscription each month. Their revenue model is why RUclipsrs push it so hard. Be wary of any review that has an affiliate link.
So since you're always testing the results while being active - how would you rate the whoop's tracking performance during a normal inactive day? We do sports every second day and would use it for fitness and cycling as well, but we're also interested in monitoring our daily parameters. I'm looking into smart devices that can reliably track the resting heart rate since my wife collapsed out of nowhere recently (we got it checked and everything seems to be fine!). However, we'd like to monitor our heart rates from day to day. Just to keep an eye on our health, you know..
I understand that you need comparable data, but Whoop is not in the same category as an Apple Watch. Designation for specific sub-types of activity trackers need to be made more evident to show like-kind comparison.
Thank you for all of your videos. Do you have a video explaining why you decided to use Whoop rather than Apple Watch even though Apple scores better than Whoop on all of the tests I've seen you do?
So if I have an Apple Watch Ultra, would whoop be beneficial? I hear it can help me know when I’m overdoing it. I have adrenal insufficiency and I’m wondering if this can help me avoid an adrenal crisis.
Am I being paranoid? I have it but haven’t been wearing it because someone showed online it emitted more EMF radiation than any other fitness tracker. Do you think it’s safe from a scientific perspective?
Hi Rob - your reviews are great. It would be great to see different devices tested with different sports though. Appreciate you need to keep consistency in test conditions but personally I've experienced Whoop perform really poorly for boxing vs a Polar H10
Rob, you know what many are thinking after watching this video..." yeah that's great the Whoop really needed an update...but hey MY watch has received many updates since you reviewed it, can you check my watch too?". Unfortunately, there are not enough hours in the day and there's only one Rob...so we can only imagine, how much better via updates our watches "might be" since they were first reviewed.
For sure some watches might be better/worse. Unfortunately I can only do a limited number of tests. WHOOP is something I use myself, so I happen to have the data available to make this video :-)
When you track workout via apple watch, and whoop app process it, the hr on whoop log is used by the whoop HR that was recorded while use the apple watch workout?
Good to see that Whoop improved the algorithm. I've been using the Whoop strap for 3 years and love it. I also wear an Apple Watch when awake, but since it needs to be charged at night, I can't use it as a sleep tracker. Additionally, extracting health data from the Apple ecosystem is very difficult, and for this reason Apple will never by my primary tracker. I tried the Oura ring, but it was uncomfortable. After a month, I took it off and never put it back on. The Whoop, however, stays on 24/7, except when I shower and need to wash the area. I also switch wrists at night to signal to my subconscious that it's time to sleep.

Your diligent data analysis has generated a new subscriber!
I noticed that the current algorithm is better at activity and sleep detection, but it still struggles with naps.
You should use a logarithmic x-axis for your watch ranking, the right side is very cramped while the left side is almost empty. A log plot would spread the data out and improve readability.
Any chance for a retest with the regular (wrist) Whoop band?
Still happy with my Huawei GT Runner. Especially the battery endurance. It lasts for 2 weeks.

I researched this channel and some other sources, finally decided to buy Polar H10 and Sleep as Android.
Does the new heart rate algorithm involve a higher sampling rate by the Whoop?

In your experience, does this algorithm change impact the accuracy of the HRV measurements?
Rob, you know what many are thinking after watching this video..." yeah that's great the Whoop really needed an update...but hey MY watch has received many updates since you reviewed it, can you check my watch too?". Unfortunately, there are not enough hours in the day and there's only one Rob...so we can only imagine, how much better via updates our watches "might be" since they were first reviewed.
For sure some watches might be better/worse. Unfortunately I can only do a limited number of tests. WHOOP is something I use myself, so I happen to have the data available to make this video :-)
@@TheQuantifiedScientist For sure Rob...keep up the great work!
please do scientific review of redmi watch 4
Wish new sleep tracking was reported.
how important is that for whoop? doing a bike session i would never get the idea not to use a heartstrap monitor.
I appreciate your videos SO much. They’re one of my top factors in my purchasing decisions.

When you track workout via apple watch, and whoop app process it, the hr on whoop log is used by the whoop HR that was recorded while use the apple watch workout?
Is this update with the app or the whoop itself
I noticed that for running the heart rate detection now is fine enough. In the past the heart rate was too high.

Awesome thank you.
You're welcome!
Good to see that Whoop improved the algorithm.
I've been using the Whoop strap for 3 years and love it. I also wear an Apple Watch when awake, but since it needs to be charged at night, I can't use it as a sleep tracker. Additionally, extracting health data from the Apple ecosystem is very difficult, and for this reason Apple will never by my primary tracker.
I tried the Oura ring, but it was uncomfortable. After a month, I took it off and never put it back on.
The Whoop, however, stays on 24/7, except when I shower and need to wash the area. I also switch wrists at night to signal to my subconscious that it's time to sleep.
Happy to hear you like it👍
would love to see videos on Morpheus HRM
What about sprinting, jogging etc..?
Please, review the One Plus Watch 2
