Good to know about the battery life. Thanks, everyone!

Fitbit usually needs charging every few days depending on features used.

Yeah, Whoop has excellent battery life. Charge it once a week, and you're good.

Oura lasts about 7 days, which is great. Whoop is similar.

Good point, @RecoveryRx. Data is a tool, not the only answer. What about battery life for these devices? That's a consideration for me.

That's where cross-referencing with how you *feel* is crucial, @CycleStrategist. No tech is perfect. Sometimes a good old sleep journal can highlight patterns the tech misses.

Anyone experience issues with accuracy, especially with lighter sleep phases or restless nights? Sometimes my Garmin says I had good sleep, but I feel groggy.

Whoop does something similar with their recovery score. It's amazing how much better you perform when you listen to your body, guided by the data.

If my readiness score is low, I'll opt for a lighter workout or active recovery. If it's high, I know I can push harder. It's really helped prevent overtraining.

Thanks for these recommendations! It seems Oura and Whoop are popular among the serious trackers. @HealthExplorer, how do you integrate Oura's readiness score into your daily planning?
