Great video, I am currently making the same choice and am planning on returning my whoop after the trial.
Also I have been using my apple watch ultra for over a year now and have used the Athlytic app with it (40$ a year) but basically it does almost everything the whoop did, something better than whoop and something a little worse but it is totally worth the price considering.

Yeah, similar thoughts with Whoop. I think there is a place for trackers without a screen like Whoop or the rings. Especially with the battery life and ability to wear it in different places, and if one wants to wear a traditional watch instead. But the fitness tracking was a bummer because relying on it to detect is not particularly accurate. It's not the smallest profile tbh; it's smaller than the watch but not by that much. The subscription model turns people off as well unfortunately.

The sleep mode on the Apple Watch initiates automatically

I am trialing the whoop now and have ben an apple with user since day one. But I think the sleep tracking is lacking on Apple, it just doesn’t give me enough help, sos I’m going to use both devices. I have done tests with the heartbeat and they both show the same for me, so I think the whoop is accurate.

I have just stopped using mine for exactly the same reasons as you

I thought apple watch is inaccurate when it comes to puls oxymeter as it doesnt measure all the time only when asked and randomly. And massimo, the ones they copied the technololy from, is the only one that measures all the time. What I dnt like about the apple watch is that it is a watch and I hate wearing watches. But it sucks if the measurements are so far away from accurate. Yeah you probably you are not using it for fitness and sleep as most people who probably get into it, but then for what do you even need a fitness/health watch? What you use it for? Also arent the insides of apple and massimo watch too limited? I felt the whoop gives a pretty detailed representation.

Totally agree. A smart watch is definitely more interesting
