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 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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Kudos to Whoop for investing the time, effort, and resources to substantially improve the accuracy of a product for which they will reap no immediate reward. That's outstanding.
@@okarloos Most companies don't do that, though. They often reserve major improvements for new product buyers only. This significant improvement in heart rate accuracy being provided to all of us is commendable corporate behavior.
Great work again, Rob! I have been a Garmin Fenix 7 user for 3 years and am looking for better recovery tracking as I train for my first marathon. I love the Garmin for an activity tracker but I'm wondering if you think a Whoop could kill 2 birds with one stone given this improvement by 1) functioning as a more accurate external heart rate sensor for the Garmin when worn on my bicep and 2) providing the superior recovery data and insight Whoop is known for. Plus, I'd love to not have to wear a watch at night. Thanks!
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!
Thanks for the video. It’s great to see direct comparisons based on data! Apparently they added steps tracking at the beginning of this month. Do find it accurate and how is it calculated with your score? Does it track sp02 and heart rate all day?
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
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 :)
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?
My experience is that the HR is so bad since a few month. I'm going through my home and Whoop says HR of 140 (Garmin says 90). I have this every day since a few months. Also got a new device. I stopped wearing it.
When wearing outside, unless I wear an arm band on top of the whoop, it get very erratic readings. Spent a long time with whoop support and cannot resolve. The Apple Watch is far more accurate, and with Athlytic app, a far superior result than whoop. Plus you get V02 max and HRR.
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
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 :-)
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.
@@a124asI 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
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..
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.
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.
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?
@@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.

@@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.
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?

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
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!!
@@alessandro.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?
Whoop gets data from Apple Health. I do not know what you are trying to share, but take a look on the settings for both, there you see what each one is sharing with the other.
@@vitorglerean9027 I still don’t have a whoop band, but I wanted to buy one. Following this channel and knowing that, for example, sleep and heartbeats data are better on the apple watch, I’d like the whoop to use those data tho calculate recovery / rest etc
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!
@@TheQuantifiedScientist I did a test where I had a whoop on my wrist during jumping jack HIIT, and a whoop body (underwear) during other times. In both cases the control was polar h10. When using whoop body it measured almost the same as polar h10.
Very cool; overly flat HRs were one of my question marks about the device. Makes me feel like the subscription model is worth it when the company continues to make meaningful improvements without an additional transaction.
To feel like that there should not be other companies that patch their products without pay-or-get-a-brick models. But Polar, Apple and iirc Garmin are still here.
@@TheQuantifiedScientist Thanks Rob... Kindly keep your promise regarding a complete review of Band 9. I think your first video about band 9 was a little unfair because there was no data from the left band 9, but then you drawn the conclusion that band 9 is not good. TruSeen 5.5 of Huawei Band 9 already uses a multi-channel module (band 8 uses a single module), then why the results was not good as or even better than band 8? it's a very big question in my head right now

does the data vary highly if I wear the whoop on dominant hand ?
Awesome thank you.

Let’s not forget Apple did something similar when they activated their machine learning functionalities with an iOS/watchOS update years ago
Wirklich spannend zu sehen wie sich das Band weiterentwickelt. Gleiches konnte man man Schlaftracking und dem Oura Ring sehen.
Genau, Martin, der Oura-Ring hat sich ebenfalls verbessert.
Do you have more information about the polar 360 ?
Is this update with the app or the whoop itself
how important is that for whoop? doing a bike session i would never get the idea not to use a heartstrap monitor.
Is there also a discount code for whoop membership that I can enter in the app? I currently have the test version
The problem is you don’t use it around the wrist. Most of the optical sensor work well around the biceps but poorly on the wrist…

@@alessandro.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?
Whoop gets data from Apple Health. I do not know what you are trying to share, but take a look on the settings for both, there you see what each one is sharing with the other.
@@vitorglerean9027 I still don’t have a whoop band, but I wanted to buy one. Following this channel and knowing that, for example, sleep and heartbeats data are better on the apple watch, I’d like the whoop to use those data tho calculate recovery / rest etc
So basically if Polar algo is erroneous, all reviews / ratings to be considered as incorrect?
I have some reasons to infer the Polar algo is good, but in principle yes. But the same is true for any other standard out there
would love to see videos on Morpheus HRM
Would you be able to review the Myzone switch
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!
Hi! Haha, I did come past there yesterday (but on/with my bike)
@@TheQuantifiedScientist so that was you! I will make sure to say hi next time!
Honor Band 9 Review? Thank You
Rob, did you manually start the activities through the Whoop app? Or were these auto detected activities?
Almost all manual
No OH1+ in tests ?
Quick question - how do you export Whoop exercise HR into a csv?
I don't get a CSV. I connect it to strava and download .FIT or .TCX files
@@TheQuantifiedScientist super helpful! Running my own R^2 analysis :) thank you
Honor watch 4 and GS Pro review please! 🙏
on the biceps is more accurate than the wrist, but isn't the whoop body better? (short, underwear) perhaps where there is the least movement
I had some plans for testing this at some point, but it didn't work out yet for a video
@@TheQuantifiedScientist I did a test where I had a whoop on my wrist during jumping jack HIIT, and a whoop body (underwear) during other times. In both cases the control was polar h10. When using whoop body it measured almost the same as polar h10.
Aura 2 strap review please!
Best Austrian RUclips channel
Too bad about the $25+ per month fee which kills it for most people
Yeah, it's not cheap. Not sure what it is when you buy the 2-year plan, but still 15+ dollars per month I suspect
Ultra human ring review please
Very cool; overly flat HRs were one of my question marks about the device. Makes me feel like the subscription model is worth it when the company continues to make meaningful improvements without an additional transaction.
To feel like that there should not be other companies that patch their products without pay-or-get-a-brick models. But Polar, Apple and iirc Garmin are still here.
please do scientific review of redmi watch 4
Rob may have forgotten his promise about the full review of Huawei Band 9
Of course. Not forgotten, but I took a little break from videos (and don't just want to make Huawei content)
@@TheQuantifiedScientist Thanks Rob... Kindly keep your promise regarding a complete review of Band 9. I think your first video about band 9 was a little unfair because there was no data from the left band 9, but then you drawn the conclusion that band 9 is not good. TruSeen 5.5 of Huawei Band 9 already uses a multi-channel module (band 8 uses a single module), then why the results was not good as or even better than band 8? it's a very big question in my head right now
