I am not a numbers person. However, tracking my sleep for the past few months has turned me into a Nasa-level data analyst. The first thing I do every morning is check my sleep score and mull over the health metrics that contributed to it, according to the five sleep-tracking devices I’ve been testing: the Whoop, Oura Ring, Google Pixel Watch, Ultrahuman Ring AIR, and Elemind.
These devices do similarish things — provide insight into your overall health by tracking your sleep, vitals, and workouts — but that is just scratching the surface. I would consider myself a very active person. Even so, I was intimidated when I first started using these devices since there was a lot of data to digest, so I spent almost two months testing them out. I wore them around the clock (as recommended), to the office, to strength training and SoulCycle classes, on my daily walks, to bars and restaurants, and to bed. The health insight I gained throughout was mind-blowing.
I also learned that each boasts unique features and complex technology, so deciding which is best for your lifestyle and health concerns can be hard. Below, I broke down everything you need to know about them. Should you buy the Oura Ring or the Ultrahuman Ring AIR? What is the difference between the Google Pixel Watch and the FitBit? Is the Whoop comfortable to wear? Which device is best for workouts? I answered all these questions.
