As a YouTube reviewer and scientist I own about 100 smart watches and other health trackers, so I have almost unlimited choice in devices, but which are the ones I actually use on a day-to-day basis? Well in this video I’ll share my ultimate tracking set up for health and sports tracking, and I’ll explain why I chose to use certain devices. This is based both on my systematic evaluation of their performance, and also the features they provide. However, of course my top choices are somewhat specific to my personal circumstances. So I’ll also discuss some other potential use cases, and what would be my top choices in those circumstances

As you can see, I have a big pile of watches and health trackers right here, and I’ve spent a lot of time testing each of these watches. And there’s a big difference in how some of these watches perform. You can see that for instance in this overview plot of the heart rate performance, and this over your plot of the sleep tracking performance. In both cases, the more to the top right, the better a device performs. Overall, there are a few top contenders and health trackers that I actually use on a day-to-day basis. In order for a device to make the cut, I have two main requirements: first of all, the measurements it takes should be reliable, and second it should be easy to use and understand.

Now, let’s start with my favorite devices when it comes to general health and sleep tracking. I personally use three main devices for this purpose: the Oura ring, the Whoop Strap, and the Eight Sleep Pod 3 cover. I use all three of these every day, and each has their own pros and cons. Let’s start with the Oura Ring, which is actually my favorite device when we only consider health and sleep tracking. The Oura Ring is a smart ring that you connect to an app on your phone, and it does a few things really well. First of all, Oura has one of the most intuitive and best built apps when it comes to health and sleep tracking. When you open the app, you get the most important metrics at a glance, and I can also quite easily dive a bit deeper into some specific metrics. When you first look at the app in the morning, you get a readiness score and sleep score, and I think these are great for people that don’t wanna dive too deeply into anything. They are summaries of a lot of metrics measured by the Oura Ring. This way you get a quick overall impression of your sleep and recovery.
