Great video. Would you say the series 4 Apple Watch is still accurate or is it time to get the 9 ?

The Galaxy ring is the most important one, I think. It is its main selling point.

Yes, Watch Ultra has the new upgraded sensors. So far Samsung has performed relatively badly compared to the competition (Apple, Huawei). It'll be interesting to see if they've trained the new sensors on any better data this time around.

Yess Samsung Galaxy Ring

Yeeeeees

@@ama-tu-an-ki The regular watch 7 also has the new upgraded sensors too.

in other words, you don't need a watch to tell you whether you slept well or not.

Thanks for sharing!

Confirmation bias??

Agreed. This is very helpful.

Any suggestions for such an app?

hey, which third party app had worked for you? Im starting to take weight loss seriously and would like a more in-depth view of what my watch is capturing. Thank you in advance.

@@deandawiz I’ve played around with lots of them; Gentler streak, athlytic, healthfit, AutoSleep, heartwatch and a few more smaller ones. But the one I settled with is Bevel. Abit more expensive and comprehensive and I like the long term plan for the app

@@deandawiz Athlytic app is the best in my opinion, it’s almost like whoop in the sense of recovery status and likes all your information into one place. You can pair it with MyFitnessPal to get the amount of calories you’re eating a day into your tracker too

@@deandawiz autosleep

wait for real? This has been my biggest issue with my apple watch and apple fanboys constantly told me they already do that

@@Soundwave857 yup! It’s confirmed. Idk why they’d tell you that lol. That definitely wasn’t the case before

Oh thank f**k lol. Im letting my whoop subscription lapse due to too few meaningful updates and the data showing AW being more accurate for some things and on par with others but having to set it to sleep or on a schedule that I might not stick to has been driving me crazy .

Same here!

@@Ask-AliI think it worked on watchOS 7-8 before they added the more complex sleep tracking

Unfortunately Samsung does not send me products, and the ring is not available here, so jumping through hoops to buy one...

​@@TheQuantifiedScientistJumping through rings like Sonic

His soothing voice has actually helped me fall asleep... To a video about smartwatches and sleep tracking.

I’m currently testing watchOS 11, and it’s very very good!

Agreed, I'm starting to suspect he is a Oura Ring Sponsor. Supposed to be about Apple watch but half is on Oura Ring. Loosing trust.

@@george6252You do understand he can’t check all of them? :)

@@Snowmans.Cradle Rob wore an Ultrahuman ring 10 months ago (Galaxy Watch 6 review) but stopped. Not sure why.

@@george6252 7:51 he actually explains why though

yeah, I am never still according to every sleep tracker ever, but seem to be pretty healthy.

With the next watchOS version it doesn’t need a schedule anymore

Yeah, tbh my Xiaomi Band 7 could better track the sleep. The AW sleep detection is shit, but the rest is awesome.

@@stijndevries, thank you! I want to make sure I understand. I think you are saying I would need to buy the newest model when it comes out vs. buying one of the existing models that has already performed well in Rob's testing. I am wanting to move out of the Google/Fitbit ecosystem (is the reason I ask), and I don't want to need a subscription.

@@MonikaSw I saw someone saying this same thing on Reddit! Fitbit has mostly done well at detecting my sleep, but sometimes I need to edit the start and end times. Problem is, they got rid of the Windows app, and now they're getting rid of the online dashboard, and I cannot use their mobile app. It's bad.

@@justicerachelno, it’s for all models with the upcoming watchOS 11. It now always runs in the background.

I asked too. As an owner of one, I can tell you the sleep tracking is not great, but do find the activity tracking and heart rate tracking to be comparable with my Apple Watch Ultra.

Id say its worth it, but depends on the person. The SE is like $250 and performs as well as all other models. I wouldn't trade more battery life for any diminishment of any features, but I do wish it had more battery. I got so used to charging it like we all got used to charging our phones. I got mine configured to last at least 24 hours on average, and use it as a tool to tell time, find my phone in an instant, gets a small selection of notifications and messages, go the the gym without my phone, display my steps so I walk more, and set cooking times. I should prob track sleep, but I found set up to be a pain. Kept leaving sleep mode on and missing messages.

I second this!!! What's the point in all these trackers that use HRV but don't use ecg and only use optical LOL it's surely a con. Only way to do it must be EEG!

I third this. I wear a Muse S headband and its somnographs usually aligned well with the Dreem 2 headband I wore at the same time. (Dreem headbands are no longer consumer products.) I have yet to find a study anywhere that compares the Muse S somnograph with another clinical standard device.

@brianquigley1940 could you give us an honest review on the muse s? Do you think it's worth it? I'm an athlete and I'd really like to understand and nail my sleep better! (I also have a minor interest in lucid dreaming too)

@MMAneuver The somnograph is trustworthy. The device was initially sold as a meditation "helper". I also use it for that purpose. e.g. it shows me whether I nodded off during a session or was in the "zone". The recent update that shows brain wave bands (alpha, delta, gamma, etc.) makes a huge difference. I wore both a Dreem 2 (also used by Rob) and a Muse S for about six months (until the consumer Dreem website was taken down). The somnographs were usually very similar. The main differences were in deep sleep, which were not always perfectly aligned, and the Muse did not record short bathroom breaks on the somnograph. I also wear a Fitbit and Polar watch on my left arm... for the HRV. If I get a decent amount of deep sleep and my HRV correlates well on both watches as high, I know my body is well prepared for a long run. I have two issues with the Muse S headband. The sensory part of the headband wears out quickly. I've gone through FOUR replacements in ONE year, all covered by the warranty. They say they are working on an improved version. The second issue is that the company's primary target audience seems to be... how can I say this politely... the "crystal waving" crowd. e.g. the subscription gives you access to celebrity meditation gurus, etc. Their focus is not on sleep... except for the recent udpate, which gives me hope. You will find a lot of scientific references on their website. They also offer an SDK (software development kit) for people interested in accessing the EEG data, but it's only for iOs. If I could find a commercial EEG product dedicated solely to sleep, I would buy it. I would still use my Muse S for meditation. My guess is that the Dreem 2 and Muse S use very similar hardware. Mind Monitor is an Android app you can download for the Muse. You can monitor your brain waves in real time by bandwidth. I've used it to practice "flattening" my brain waves to train myself to quieten my mind as prep for going to sleep. You can save your data and process it... if you have the necessary coding/analytical skills/knowledge.

@MMAneuver I wrote an extensive response and it was deleted! Weird. The somnograph is trustworthy. The headbands wear out quickly within months. The battery only lasts 7.5 hours.
