Oura Ring vs Whoop | Don't make the wrong choice
If you’ve been deciding between the Whoop and Oura ring as your every day, low-maintenance fitness tracker, this video will help you decide which is the best one for you. I’ve tested both the Oura Ring Gen 3 and Whoop 4.0 over the last year and here are my thoughts on which I would commit to for the long term.

Whoop all the way. Best of the best.
Awesome video jam packed with useful information. Thank you! I’m leaning Oura as well. I have sleeves on both arms so I have to get a very specific spot on my right wrist for my apple watch to really work much at all. Not sure if I’d have that issue on whoop but I know with oura I won’t. & Will be much more likely to be comfortable wearing the ring to bed vs a watch
To be honest I am interested in both devices to gain more data, but what an absolute no go is for me is the membership stuff, I mean everyone knows that you pay with your Data on every health or fitness device (Garmin,sunto,fitbit etc.) but now as an next level you pay with your data AND an additional fee to get YOUR data is an absolute stupid thing and for real should not encouraged on any level as the new normal 🥸
Both is nonsense from a pov how valid the data collected is. One is a ring with complete trash HR tracking and the other is a mediocre wrist HR tracker pretending to measure HRV…etc. Sorry but the deviation is around 20>% and by that completely useless. People get their panties wet when whoop warns you you get sick when all it measures is RHR. Its a toy for people liking toys. Nothing wrong with that but thats it.
I’m leaning towards the Whoop. I train mostly with kettlebells. A ring would get trashed very quickly with constant scraping on the kettlebell handle. I have a Garmin Smartwatch, but that also is in the way when I train with kettlebells, so I end up taking it off 75% of the time I work out. What attracts me most to Whoop is being able to wear the tracker on my upper arm… Where it won’t be in the way or get damaged.

I’d say also depends what sport you are doing. If you are doing combat sport then ring is no go
please do samsung ring v oura v whoop
Great video, straight to it – no long and boring intro – I like it, subbed
I don’t see what’s appealing about Whoop. Being trying it for a month, and it’s entirely unexciting. Why on EARTH would I pay a subscription for it? Also, selling the product only with proprietary metrics and readings, with a "we-know-better" approach, not recording heart rate on demand, or steps….why? To top it off, for a product without a screen, the battery life is what I could only describe as laughable. Will not be using it after the free trial.
Wellness. Oura all the way for me. Thanks for the beakdown!
I’m only 10-seconds in and I trust your review just by your choice of mouse haha. My man!
where did you get that asguard poster on the wall lol
does any of these connect with samsung health ?
My favorite fitness tracker in my lifetime was the Bodybugg. Didnt take your heartrate but was very accurate for weightloss.

Nice conclusion. You made it clear which works for better for the user’s purpose and didn’t go into too much detail about your what you did, making it clear they’re pretty accurate.
Great vid
Ma il,cosiddetto diario…..le domande vanno risposte prima di andare a dormire? Oppure vanno risposte il giorno dopo al risveglio? Perché il mio diario dove si deve rispondere……mi dice cosa è successo ieri?
E poi volevo sapere se si può indossare anche sotto la doccia
Great video. Helped me make the right decision.
Btw, where did you get those posters from? 😁
Good job of compare and contrast! No one is going in-depth tutorials for app usage, but you at least spend more time than most explaining what they do.
I you have a cardiac arrhythmias, the Oura ring is useless in its current version. Whoop is OK.
Great video man! In-depth, super informative, and you did it just over 6 minutes. I’ve seen some other videos that were over 20 minutes that didn’t provide nearly as much information.
Keep it up!
I just need something to traps my steps that’s subtle. I don’t want a childish Apple Watch and withins is nice but I wouldn’t wear it to the gym. Leaning toward the whoop
Super helpful and concise thank u 🙏🏼
NIETHER: Get he Circul+ ring. Better App. ((((((((NO SUBSCRIPTION)))))
What’s the opinion on their accuracy? I feel the ring design should change such that the lower part is some fabric such that it can be ok while doing weights.

So the cost doesn’t make a feature in the comparison.
Why is the whoop so clunky?
One might as well get a smartwatch here.
Hint
You have nice hands
Great breakdown and straight to the point, thanks!
The ring gets in my way when I lift weights.
Does the Oura ring have a journal tracking feature? That is the one feature that I like about Whoop tracking is I can compare bad sleeps to different items but I would rather have the ring! (I’m still in the Whoop 30 day trial)
Second question, the posters behind you, where are they from??
Nope, to subscriptions
I think you’re supposed to wear the whoop 24/7 for on 30 days to get the most accurate results it kind of confuses me how you weren’t wearing them all the time
Nice comparison ✌️but i find it kinda counterintuitive that they build in a social media function into a self optimizing device when most coaches and authors in this field tell you not to use social media except for buisness stuff 😂
You aren’t supposed to take off the whoop. Shouldn’t have to be choosing between which to wear.
if i buy whoop do i need to pay every month or i buy it and thats it?

My Oura ring konked out after about three years. The battery stopped recharging for some reason. The battery is not replaceable. Other than that it worked great. Didn’t have to worry about showering or washing the dishes or knocking it around. The only info that was useful for me was the resting heart rate at night. HRV measurements were redundant. Sleep info was ehh. Readiness assumed I was a wimp.
Really love you comparison! Thanks so much for this. I’m planning to go for the oura ring too. Do you have to wear it on the index finger?
thanks for this very good video, greetings from germany
Tip for weights/kettlebells HIIT workouts. KT tape works great for protecting your Oura Ring while working out.
Wellness focused the sleekness of the oura ring is so fire!
Appreciate the quick video. Straight to the point
This is the best review video I have seen. It’s amazing! Thanks so much!! Brilliant
