Quantified Scientist Review of Helio Strap
Just watched, he wore it both on wrist and on his bicep (with an old whoop strap). For the wrist the heart rate in various exercises was good to very good (correlation above 0.9 in all cases with reference device). On the bicep it was the best or among the best he's ever tested (0.97-1.0 correlation

What’s the most surprising physical change(s) you’ve noticed since quitting alcohol?
Only just started my journey, I was drinking every night not a massive amount but 7 days a week it soon adds up. I’ve noticed my sleep is much better. I’ve got a whoop strap and my sleep rating an recovery have both jumped since I’ve cut down on alcohol. Another change is my resting heart rate is lo

Why are so many people selling their Helio Strap? Is there something wrong with it?
So subscription aside what makes it better than Whoop? The sleep tracking, heart rate, steps counter and a few other features are significantly more accurate than whoop straps. I did a side by side comparison for 18 months with my whoop straps, Garmin watch, Oura ring and helio amazstrap. The garmin

Any truth to this ?
Yes yes yes a 1000 times yes. I used to work out from 2000-2130 with the last 45 mins being cardio. I too used to "sleep" normally or so I thought. But since I got a whoop band I realised that my quality of sleep is piss poor. While my H/R goes down to normal from HIIT in 15 mins resting HR at night

Should I switch
2 year whoop user converted to Helio. Whoop is very useful in the beginning for people who are new to trackers and need help making lifestyle changes but once I understood how to manage my HRV, RHR and sleep cycles I felt like I was paying for a load of stuff I didn't need. Hello covers all that I w

Heart rate monitor recommendations
FWIW: I wear a Whoop (optical HR monitor) on my upper arm 24/7. I barely notice it. For 98% of my rides, I just use the data from the whoop strap instead of my garmin chest strap. I have compared the 2 of them multiple times by double recording and the whoop is usually 99% in-line with the garmin. A

Rowing comparison between Fenix 8 47mm AMOLED and Whoop 5.0 MG
I'm pleasantly surprised at how similar both were.
The manhattan chart of heart rate is very similar, particularly the peaks and lows.
The heart rate zones use different metrics, but allowing for that (i.e. zone 3 for Garmin is a mix of Zone 1 and 2 for Whoop) they seem to correlate quite well.

Half‑marathon heart‑rate comparison: WHOOP 5.0 MG, Polar Loop, Amazfit Helio Strap, Garmin Enduro 3 vs Polar H10
As promised in the previous comparison - Three months with WHOOP MG 5.0, Oura 4, Polar365/Loop, Garmin Instinct 3, Helio strap - here’s the follow‑up focused on half‑marathon heart‑rate measurement.
I also incorporated feedback from the last post; this time I included the Polar H10 as a reference

Bevel pro is now basically as costly as a whoop subscription but without the actual tracker.
You can't compare Whoop and Bevel+Apple, that is like comparing apples and oranges. The Whoop band is a screenless inaccurate health and wellness device, not a fitness tracker despite what their marketing says, that has one purpose and even at that it does not do a great job. The heart rate data is

sold my Garmin venu 3s for this and I'm not satisfied
helio strap Give it a few weeks to get your proper metrics. I had whoop straps for years and oura and did a side by side test with all four and the oura, garmin and helio strap were with 1.5% of each other for sleep times and heart rates. The whoop strap was off by 25%-35% from the other devices for
