i don't mean to be a hater but whoop steps way off. how did i walk 83 steps before waking up?

noticed that 8sleep instrumentation isn't great either, they can't detect a cat vs human b/c copped out and just put two sensor strips. idk wtf people were raving about. 

all is see is apple being slow, steady and winning long-term

yea. i've gone back to foundational metrics eg rhr, hrv, vo2, hr, sleep time and then focusing on output like poor college athlete do

tangentially related but macrofactors take on wearables is how i approach using mine (rn using the coros which i do love btw)

if you don't want to be a hater i understand, well let me be a hater for you

the whoop really sucks at tracking your biometric data imo (at least from a year ago or so when I had it) and I really didn't like how it was opaque in the way it optimized the data and showed the score (i had no idea what that meant) and i didn't like being shamed when I drank alcohol (I'll do what i want) and overall, just didn't click with me

and yes, now i have a apple watch and i am moisturized, in my lane, thriving

WHOOP just announced step tracking — apparently one of their most requested customer features

I wear both a WHOOP and an Apple Watch so I was able to compare measurements from both 

The disparity between Apple and WHOOP startled me. WHOOP steps are consistently higher by about 3-4k

I do take my Apple Watch off every morning to let it charge, but not sure it’s 4k steps worth of walking I do with it off…

Or maybe Apple has been underselling me my own effort this whole time…. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

Found WHOOP off by 3-4k on average each day if assuming Apple as source of truth..... eeep

i am actually very satisfied with whoop haha! but i haven’t tried apple watch
