I’d love to see how you’d compare the Fitbit Air on the bicep (third party band) with the Amazfjt Helio on the bicep! Might as well do wrist comparison for both too if you wanted to make a video. Love your work!
I was pretty excited about this device, and as a Whoop user, I was keen to see if this might be a replacement for said Whoop. What I have experienced is mixed. The biggest issue for me has been the HRV measurements, which have been about 25% lower than my Whoop and Athlytic Apple Watch Ultra. It fobbed me off with explanations about when it samples the HRV, but that wouldn't explain the discrepancy. The Whoop and Athlytic are both within 2-3% of each other. I do like the sleep detection, which seems to pick up naps much better - a bugbear of the Apple Watch, which seems to expect a NAP to be a full sleep cycle before it registers for me. I'll keep it going for a bit, but frankly I think I'll probably just sell it.
Just bought a huawei band and getting to know more of this type of products thru your channel . 📈 . I work in architecture and wanted to share my thoughts on some of your workouts. I think running in the city is bad for your health due to car exhaust and can accelerate the development of illnesses. Be careful and recommend running, walking, or cycling in nature whenever possible.🙋♂
How do these compare to something like an Apple Watch?
Have you run into issues with the whoop showing HR drift during sleep when wearing it on the bicep? I tend to move around a bit and kids in my bed, my HR has a lot of spikes, but my Garmin and Fitbit air seem to smooth that out. This causes my recovery to be inconsistent. But it seems to be fine when I wear the whoop on the wrist.
Hello! Mi band 10 pro review is VERY needed
Fitbit Air user here. After 6 full days and nights of continuous wear, my HRV data still hasn't appeared in Google Health. Heart rate and sleep tracking are working, but HRV remains unavailable. Has anyone found a fix or is this a current Fitbit Air software issue?
Could you compare the data metrics from the inspire 3 to the air?
Love it, but you need to let us look at the top brands in the graphs, I want to know which is the best
Is the sleep data compared to the headband actually from just one night, or is it an average over several nights?
Thank you so much for the informative video! Do you have an estimate of how each of them performs in jump rope training? I had the Whoop on my wrist for one year, and I never fully trusted its estimate in those sessions.
also, sir can you do a test to compare other fitbit products like charge 6 or inspire or versa etc with fitbit air, and also how do they pair with Google health?
how does the fitbit air go against the oura ring, i know the ring 5 was announced can you compare the air with that when you do your testing
Please do a test for chronic fatigue/me/long covid type issues. The data is there for it, but the wearable software on almost all devices is geared for healthy people. It makes it hard to know what device to choose
I understand your preference about using the whoop with a bicep band, but studies shouldn't take personal preferences into consideration. If one of two devices isn't ideal, you revert to that in order to level the playing field. Otherwise it just becomes a take, not an experiment.
Hey, I've gone through a lot of your reviews and tests, could you tell me in your opinion what the best watch for someone is who would like to track their overall health and sleep, and who mostly swims and plays cardio heavy sports and would like accurate tracking for the same? Tracking the distance and laps while swimming in a pool is of utmost importance. I've found the best option to e the Apple Ultra Watch 3 with something like bevel as an app and UI interface. Is this the best combination out there or is there something better and more accurate?
If you want to know the distance you ran do you need to have you phone on you for the Fitbit air
for whoop sleep tracking is more accurate on your wrist and heart rate is more accurate when wearing on your bicep so I don't really understand your methodology here..
A quick question: why not Mi band or Honor band, which is cheaper than the fitbit air? Yes, it's not screen less, but as a product they offer far more hardware and good accuracy as well, right?
I hope you can do a comparison of the Fitbit air with the Amazfit helio strap
