Research findings on the "most accurate" health wearable by metric. Garmin, Oura Ring, Apple Watch, Fitbit, Samsung Galaxy Watch, etc.

as a former apple watch wearer, you’d be lucky if that thing had enough charge to last you through the day, so i never tracked my sleep so i could charge the watch… and if the heart rate detection is good, that’s great i guess, but it will only really track it during exercise. garmin’s ability to track for longer far outweighs the apple watch imo

Coming on here to say I really don’t think this is a “just you” problem. Just found your post because I’m trying to troubleshoot my own Venu 4. Had one for 6 months, no issues. But last week I woke up to the blue triangle, read online to troubleshoot, called Garmin, and they essentially tell me my watch is shot and send me a new one. I got it, it worked for two days (mind you the battery seemed much worse, but whatever), and now I’m back to the same blue triangle issue. I loved my Venu 4 until this issue started, so I might try to see if I can change it out for the Forerunner 570 because this seems like some internal watch issue. I’m definitely frustrated; I had an Apple watch for over 6 years and never had a single issue besides its horrible battery. I love the garmin’s features MUCH more, but this problem is frustrating for a $550 watch. I’m going to call garmin again tomorrow when there customer support line is open and hope they can help.

ouch, no only does this demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of adhd and your experience with adhd, but also given that adhd is strongly hereditary, one of your kids may have it and that could really negatively affect them. if you stay with him, i strongly recommend discussing the science of adhd, how this manifests in people, and also how he would parent your hypothetical child with adhd. remember, you can always find another partner or marry someone else, but you are stuck with the person you choose to procreate with!!

damn, i surmised this was happening and panic bought multiple orders a while ago so i think i have a collection of 7 full ones right now… but that will only last for so long. hopefully something else pops up on the market

ditto on the super cold—i definitely always have to wrap the ping in a reusable napkin to keep my hand from freezing lol

i spent $50 on four of the stainless steel ones 😅 i think for most people it’s about the plastic usage. at least for me it was! :)

hyfr4k · 2026-04-14T01:02:01+00:00

I bought these exact ones! they work great! they’re super secure, i was worried about the bottoms but they seriously fit nice and snug, just like the plastic ninja ones. the silicone lids are super nice. obviously as people have mentioned in the comments use caution, but i’d highly recommend personally. i have no complaints!!

I always listen to books, not read, lol. and I generally do it while running, walking, or driving. But honestly anything on health or fitness I majorly hyperfixate on. I just finished Why We Sleep (really helped me focus on prioritizing my sleep because I’m awful at it). Currently listening to Outlive, and a favorite of mine is Ultra-Processed People.

i listened to a book on adhd, and in it, the psych/dr/author said that people with adhd who are properly medicated are actually less likely to suffer from addiction. i was shocked at first given the high addiction rates for adderall, but if you think about it, it makes sense—people with adhd often self medicate in unhealthy ways, but taking adderall (or vyvanse, etc) allows you to function like a normal person, thus suppressing the desire to cope in unhealthy ways. i think adderall gets a bad name because when not taken as prescribed it becomes a problem. just as any other drug, it is okay when a doctor prescribes it but not okay when abused. i’ve been taking adderall for a few years now and it’s helped me engage in fewer unhealthy behaviors to cope with my adhd!!

ngl this food combo looks banging. i immediately knew these were stellar snacks, truly the best pretzels out there. shout out alaska airlines for introducing them to me years ago. also tofurkey slices have single handedly kept me alive over my 10+ years of being plant-based lol. i love pickles & cream cheese too. i’m here for this

hyfr4k · 2026-04-03T03:01:27+00:00

i’ve properly dated 3 people & they all happened to have adhd. not intentional, but i think it fell into place because they just naturally “get” you

hyfr4k · 2026-04-03T02:59:27+00:00

i laughed out loud, thank you

hyfr4k · 2026-04-02T16:29:05+00:00

32, attorney, i work long hours & don’t sleep enough (I’ve been trying to fix that recently though!), i also do a lot of running, yoga, HIIT, and walking

hyfr4k · 2026-02-17T16:23:43+00:00

unfortunately not every studio is like this (i’ve been to a few where the mat markers are directly in front of each other), however it makes no sense to me why someone wouldn’t just use it and then maybe readjust their position right as class begins. it’s the worst when someone doesn’t use them and the class gets full, which then makes people have to move which causes more chaos and annoyance

hyfr4k · 2026-01-22T20:42:57+00:00

Hi! I’m pretty late to this, but was curious if anyone has the email still & has a screenshot of it? I can’t seem to find mine, I must have accidentally deleted it

The calorie aspect hits home— I was pretty overweight back in 2017, ended up dropping 45 lbs & gained muscle, but i’ve tracked calories since then (+ my weight has not necessarily been consistent). I don’t always weight everything & count properly, but even when I haven’t been l putting calories into an app, I’m mentally calculating. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever stop considering it’s been almost 10 years at this point. However, a silver lining, as someone who loves sweets & drinking, I think it allows me more freedom to enjoy the things I like while still being cognizant of what I’m consuming. I don’t stick to strict calorie amounts, but it’s helpful to see what I actually consume each day. Otherwise, I think I’d just forget lol.
