Garmin needs to fix their app too. Sleep tracking is meh, they basically ignore weightlifting strain on the body so for us weightlifters and walkers Garmin is not the best, and their app layout (yes the new one) is pretty bad compared to whoop.

This speaks to my soul. Thank you for making this video. As a person who prefers to wear an analog watch, wears a Whoop, and uses a Garmin (Epix Gen 2) for golf, hiking, and biking, the idea of a Garmin "Band" would a definite "shut up and take my money" moment for me. The Whoop data sync with Garmin and subscription fees nag at me, but I also love the Whoop data without a large smartwatch.

100%!! I’d love to be able to collect HR date on situations where I don’t need GPS data or I don’t want to wear my Fénix. Not only sleeping, but also at crossfit, working out with kettlebells or rowing indoors, to name a few situations (a ring would be a no in those cases too). Coros already have a band to wear in the arm, and all the info syncs with the watch data. But please, NO subscriptions. HATE them.

@hippygeeza 12 сағат бұрын

Sounds like an awesome idea! To expand on that. Make it like a stryd pod, so you can remove the band, put on your shoes and it can track your power using when running. Or put on an extend strap and use as a chest HRM. That I would pay 200 for easy! So band at night, foot pod on the run with a watch, or a on a larger band as a HRM

Honestly the one killer feature I miss from Whoop is the fact that it would automatically start recording an activity and I could go back and edit what kind it was afterwards and it would recalculate the stats from it. If my watch even just automatically prompted me to start recording when it thought i was doing an activity, that would be awesome, but if it could just record data and let me go back and tell it when I was actually doing an activity that would be a gamechanger.

I love my whoop! I know its not super accurate compared to other devices, but its not about 1 data point. For me its about tracking trends over time. My favorite part is the journal tracking and the insights from it. If Garmin came out with a product that did that and I didn't have to pay a monthly subscription, I'd for sure consider it. It would also need to have some kind of battery that clips on like the whoop, so I'd never have to take it off to charge it. I also love that about my whoop.

@christophsproehnle2114 Ай бұрын

Clips like this one + some comments must be like a gold treasure for the guys at Garmin researching the community for tipps and hints to improve their devices or develop new ones. I`m also a Garmin user and wouldn`t use a Whoop for the exact same reasons. In the long term I think it just doesn`t pay off like a Garmin or some Applewatch would. So, it`s kind of a matchball for Garmin, I guess. Great video, as always !

I absolutely would use this. I am a long-time Garmin user, who ended up switching to Apple Watch. I prefer the features of the Apple Watch but desperately missed features like Body Battery and many others. This forced me into using an Apple Watch + Whoop band, and now I've also added the Ultrahuman Ring Air (although I don't think I'm keeping this, as the data is better from Whoop). So if Garmin was to make a band similar to Whoop, I would absolutely buy it and use it, but really needs to be like Whoop and not like the display based VivoSmart 5. I'll also say that I attempted to go back to Garmin a few months back and bought the most expensive Epix watch. I couldn't get used to it again and could not deal with some of its limitations like all-or-nothing messaging, and no real ability to text people back. Plus the lack of good apps is a real problem, so I can't see myself ever going back to a Garmin watch, but I would 100% go back to the Garmin eco-system and metrics using a Whoop-like band.
