Let me share with you the results of a new study published in the Journal of Senses,

0:08.4

comparing the accuracy of six different fitness trackers worn by healthy adults, including

0:13.0

Woop, Garmin, Aura, Polar and Apple.

0:17.2

The study was specifically interested in looking at the validity of measurements for sleep,

0:22.1

heart rate and heart rate variability, a marker of recovery.

0:25.7

Importantly, this was an independent study by a group of researchers in Australia, with

0:30.7

no funding or input from the fitness tracker companies.

0:34.9

So what's validity?

0:36.4

1:05.5

1:11.7

And along with Aura and Somfit, Woop performed the best for accurately measuring the different

1:15.8

stages of sleep overnight, light, deep and REM sleep.

1:20.8

While you really cannot go wrong with any of these devices, haven't been wearing Woop

1:24.4

for three plus years now, it's nice to know that the data it's providing is valid.

1:28.8

That is, the Woop fitness tracker is actually measuring what it says it is, and thus the
