Polar
4.5
(8)
"👍🏻🙂"
"Polar [Ignite/Vantage] for Nightly Recharge (score is agreeing better with my perception than Oura's readiness), complete resting heart rate (night and day) and Serene breathing exercise."
"If you can invest a little more the Polar FT60 is the one I'd go with. Measures your VO2 Max and resting HR to give you a very accurate calorie count."
"Its the best we sell"
"I have a Polar FT4 and I like it a lot. It has a comfortable strap that goes around your torso and it measures you heart rate and tells you how many calories you burne"
"I have the Polar FT4 which is about $60 on Amazon and it's been doing its job so far!"
"Counts calories and I'll enter it in to MyFitnessPal."
"I currently use a polar loop as I can link it up to a hrm when training."
#5
Samsung
4.3
(8)
"I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, I personally love it more than when I used to have a fitbit."
"I have the Galaxy Active 2 and I love it."
"It's a good blend for me for fitness tracking."
"I'm surprised at how much use I get out of it."
"Love it."
"I have a Samsung fit 2 which I love and find very accurate for steps."
"I'm a Samsung android guy.. I picked up my galaxy smartwatch 3 because I wanted to track my vitals after getting sick.. works great for heartrate, blood ox, and sleep"
"Galaxy watch active 2."

Whoop
3.9
(7)
"Whoop, using the bicep strap so my wrists are free during workouts."
"Whoop I think is the best for CrossFit and not just running."
"I loved whoop but I couldn’t justify the monthly subscription. So if money isn’t an issue, I recommend whoop."
"I am 10 months into my whoop."
"I wore a whoop for a little over four years and learned a lot about myself."
"Best for HRV, recovery and sleep imo."
"I tried Whoop and Apple Watch."
#7
Apple Watch
4.3
(4)
"Loving my Apple Watch the most. It’s easier to see how my heart rate is going and it keeps me motivated during the day outside of working out."
"I just use my Apple Watch and the Atlon app, it’s designed to track movements automatically."
"I just use the Apple Watch. I find this more usually the remaining 23 hours a day when I’m not working out."
"I just use my Apple Watch and don’t do anything fancy."
#8
Xiaomi
3.8
(4)
"I have a xiaomi mi band 5 and it's fantastic."
"I own both the Mi Band 4 and two Wear OS watches."
"I would use Google Fit to get you started and buy a mi band pulse which can be bought for $30 imported in the US"
"I have a mi band 5 and I do not recommend it. Sleep analysis is really bad and it records activities not properly ,even with GPS on."

Oura
4.3
(3)
"If you want to have metrics overkill, you could use Oura for readiness, temperature."
"I wear Oura all day and night. I wear a Withings Steel HR Sport all day. The two give me all the data I need."
"To me, it seems like Oura and Garmin would be the best combination because you mention lots of overlap between Oura and Polar, as well as Garmin and Polar."
