I started using a Fitbit charge to track my sleep and discovered I was typically awake for 2 hours from shoulder pain and hip pain: I addressed those issues. My awake time is under 1 hour most nights. I wake up refreshed instead of feeling tired. I havent concerned myself with the types of sleep.
Do you use Oura for any other tracking besides sleep? Oxygen sensor?

for females, it does work better in terms of cycle tracking etc.
speaking of Fitbit, Google just released a Fitbit air which competes with the WHOOP for $99/84

Ultimately, it's nice and shows interesting info but I don't really know what to do with the info. Also I don't think it's worth the subscription cost so I'm definitely not going to renew in a year. I like the Oura ring idea, but again, not sure what to do with the info.

I remember seeing a post and Apple Watch won in most tracking categories, so.
If you want even more data analysis that you dont know what to do with, check the Bevel app.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch 7. I'm not a fitness nut or anything. It tracks my activities and sleep well enough, I suppose. I've been able to upgrade for cheap from previous iterations, although it seemed like Samsung has put an end to that with the Watch 8. The 8's form factor is a bit ugly, so I'm happy with my 7.

TSA says my Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 won't set off the metal detector, but I loathe potentially getting the beep and having to go back, put my watch in a tray, and try again. Therefore, I put my watch in my backpack or zippered jacket pocket along with the rest of the things that's usually on me.

I don't recall my Samsung Watch 7 (44 mm) ever setting off a metal detector at either airports or courthouses. At some foreign airports, however, I was instructed to take it off before going through the WTMD.

Does anyone out there use a smart watch / activity tracker watch? Any thoughts on the non-Apple ones?
Ms KRSW has a dying Fitbit and could use a good pick-me-up (her life and health haven't been great lately). She currently has a Samsung phone which I'm replacing with a Pixel phone when I give her the new watch.
