Numbers don’t lie
I’ve been using both the Healbe smart band and the Oura ring for a good year now, I’ve picked up on some interesting differences between thhis two. First off, the Healbe’s feature for tracking how my body reacts to different foods is a diet - changer for me. I said no to starchy products when saw the spikes in the app which is something the Oura ring doesn’t touch on. But when it comes to sleep tracking, Oura got a few quirks, like marking me as asleep when I’m just lying wide awake.
Then there’s the heart rate monitoring. Oura often shows my heart rate a bit higher, around 5 beats per minute more than the Healbe. I guess it’s because it’s on my finger, which might be a bit more reliable for this kind of thing than my wrist.
But, man, Healbe really needs to sort out their update process. The last time I tried updating, it took 30 minutes and the first attempt didn’t even work. Had to run it back for a second go before the band and app decided to play nice.
All in all, both gadgets are pretty solid. They’ve got their pros and cons, but I’m keeping an eye on how they evolve. Definitely some cool tech to follow.
