My 2021 Wearable Experience: Trialing the BioStrap & Garmin and Why I'm Back With Oura Ring
Channel: Red Light Therapy by Alex Fergus

Welcome to my 2021 wearable update. Here's my view on the Oura Ring and many of the wearables around in 2021:

✅ I'm back to using the Oura Ring. Really Many issues exist with other products, such as they emit EMF, are quite bulky, etc. The Oura Ring v.2 has been my favorite product since it came out so far. In this video I'll explain why
✅ I loved the Oura Ring but still stopped wearing it: I wanted to simplify my life. I also liked to minimise the tech my kid was exposed to.
✅ I love the Biostrap from a data standpoint - it's one of the best out there. I just don't like the design around my wrist, but I'm aware that's a personal opinion!
✅ Hence: I personally dislike wristbands so the Biostrap is not my main option, personally. I even hate wearing a watch! 
✅ My experience with smartwatches? I tested the Garmin. Straight away, even though it was a $1,800 USD device, I didn't want to wear it...
✅ Instead of testing the Garmin, I dug up my Oura Ring! Reason? I don't like the lights and the special effects and the obvious signs you're wearing a body-tracker! Again, that's my n=1 experience!
✅ Long story short? After trying the Garmin with the green pulsing light for almost one night, I personally ditched it and never want back to the product! I didn't even set the product up and I'm not in the mood to even review it right now. Sad but true!
✅ My takeaway: I, personally, want something SIMPLE! Just give me my recovery scores and sleep quality and I'll be happy. I don't want to wear a huge device around my wrist, chest, or head, to measure my biometrics. I just want to go on with my daily life and not be bothered, and STILL get the data I want. Both of the latter criteria are hugely important!
