A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

I'm just starting to take my health a bit more seriously this year. I was wondering if investing in either an Apple Watch or an Ultrahuman Ring is worth the investment. If so, which one do you guys prefer?

I'm trying to gather data on my activity levels, step count and calories burnt (so that I can maintain a deficit for a while). For some context, I'd been completely sedentary up until two months ago. So making better choices in the kitchen and added some strength training at home. Looking for any kind of data that'll help me understand if what I'm doing at home is headed in the right direction. Ultimate goal to be a bit leaner and put on some muscle + get stronger. Tracking sleep would be a bonus for sure because I don't sleep well consistently and I understand sleep can also contribute to your progress.

what part of your health do you care most about? i love Apple Watch for fitness, but not great for sleep tracking

swapped out my fitbit for an ultrahuman ring this week!

still getting used to the new app’s UX and not having the watch face to quickly check HR or time but overall liking how low profile it is 😌

UR's comfortability is definitely another thing that's piquing my interest. Having a watch on all the time sounds kinda uncomfortable but I guess I'll get used to it?

I remember seeing @erica's post: https://warpcast.com/erica/0x4fe0641a

It seems to also show some activity metrics so I'm sooo confused lol

depends on what you're more particular about. like @ted mentioned, the Apple watch is great for fitness tracking but the UR is perfect (and more comfortable) for tracking sleep. 

you do get other non-health features with the Apple watch. gps, calls and stuff. 

again, it just boils down to what you want to track.
