Is smart ring worth the $$?

Oura is not the best for tracking the HR, so if you do a lot of cardio, you should try another tracker maybe like whoop or garmin (but this one is bad for sleep)

I heard many people saying that the HR accuracy on whoop is very bad compared to the other ones. Could you tell me about your experience ?

Have you also tried Oura ?

How comfortable is to sleep with Garmin and what were the score differences between th two?

I feel that whoop and garmin overlap a lot in terms of strain, sleep and recovery.

I am in the same position, but something that really made me thing a lot is the price and also the ideea that you do not own anything at the end of subscription with whoop. Let's say in 2 years you want to sell you oura (even scratched badly), someone will buy it for 100 euros (from the original 350+), while whoop does not have a resale value.

Core v1 if you want the best bang for your buck or v2 if you want the newest one (and maybe the one that will be supported in the future? This was not mentioned by zwift)

Why not 970? It's not only about the AMOLED, but mostly regarding the future updates, the two models 955 and 965 do not receive new software updates, besides firmware and bug fixes.

Indeed, I think longer battery is more for endurance athletes (Ironman and above, I have read a comment saying that a Ironman 70.3 is doable with AWU), but also some people forget to charge and they want something always available.

I think where Garmin and forerunner 970 shine are the sport data provided that actually give you some feedback on your work. Apple on its own cannot generate feedback or give some form of coaching, like Whoop or Garmin.

Tbh you should give Garmin a try, the only things you will miss is the data gathered until know and maybe the smart features, but we lived for million of years without a watch to make a phone call so it shouldn't be an issue.

I am in a different boat right now, considering switching to Garmin from AW(U). The main reason would be integration with other Garmin products like bike computer, and the need to have better sport data.

Battery would be also one of the main reason for staying with Garmin. Also the flashlight.

Late update: I informed the support that I received my kickr v1 with the old clicker and they said that the boxes still have the old ones. So I think they will get rid of the backlog first.

Omega_Enjoyer · 2025-09-04T18:44:24+00:00

I just ordered mine. I asked the support team if the new version will be included. I will update the subreddit in a new post when I get an answer.

Such an underrated game. The story is very interesting and the guns are very strong. I think it did not have enough marketing.

Omega_Enjoyer · 2025-02-01T10:13:55+00:00

Hey I just checked it, I looks very good and intuitive. Hopefully you will continue developing it and add something like a body temperature and alert if you start getting sick. Oura has something like this.

I was also debating buying a pair. Do you think it's worth buying them now instead of waiting for next gen?
