I am so happy I found this channel, as a fellow scientist is nice to see testing on different products included in reviews.

@coffeenciggy 3 роки тому

As a ex-research and hardcore geek, I have been following Rob since discovering this channel last year. And YES, I held off buying any wearables for my workouts because I am waiting for more reviews. Amazing stuff, if only more items in our daily use were tested like this!

@bradgawronski 2 роки тому

This is a brilliant channel for someone with lifelong sleep issues, thank you for all the time you put in, I know it’s a lot of work!

@joetjoepalot 2 роки тому

Thanks for the review. I bought a nest hub 2 recently, for me it does show the regular sleep stages, so perhaps google updated this feature. Perhaps making a 2022 updated review worthwhile :-)

@FabioxARG Рік тому

Same for me. We need a revision of this video! Compared to my Fitbit Charge 3 the readings seem to match well.

@dbhartsock 4 місяці тому

I wish he would test the Nest Hub 2 again, since they added sleep stage detection. It detects 0 deep sleep most of the time. REM once was very low, but they just have tweaked the algorithm because is does better now.

@BenAdelie 2 роки тому

Do you have any plans to test Nest Hub again now that the algorithm has been updated to include more sleep stages?

@ml3141 3 роки тому

I was just wondering about this one! Thank you!!!

@ahmedabdallah709 3 роки тому

You are giving a lot of great data RESPECT keep up that great work 👍👍👍👍 really appreciate your hard work

@bethgianfrancesco4415 Рік тому

Very nice and thankfully to the point without a 10 minute introduction. I received the Nest free with my Nectar mattress so I didn’t know if I should even bother trying to figure the sleep sensing part out (I have issues with the Nest and it’s setup, I don’t find it to be very user friendly). Your video was so helpful to me as I now know it’s worth it to try the sleep sensing. Thank you !

@brockoala2994 2 роки тому

Thank you for the awesome test! May I ask what printer and material you were using at the end of the video? I have no experience on 3D printing but that looked so cool, makes me want one!

This is the best review channel. And only channel that does real reviews. Can you please make a real review of huawei band 6?

@TrueRay17 3 роки тому

Yeah it's better to get the Fitbit inspire and just leave it on your wrist. I charge it every 3 weeks which is awesome and it sleep and step counting/running & walking recognition is pretty good. Solid for that type of data for sure!

@nimishmathur3360 3 роки тому

Binge watched your content...great info....Thanks for enriching youtube with such unique content....I hope this channel goes viral very soon (for good reasons obviously :p) and your subscribers shoot up. Now here's a video request....App Review... Would love to see your views on "Sleep as Android" application on Play Store. I use it daily (no wearable, just through phone), it provides option to use either sonar or accelerometer to track your sleep. Would love to know if it's genuinely a good app or just a goof app.

@cansabah5579 3 роки тому

Hi Rob, thanks for your great videos. When you have time, I'll be glad if you can also review/test Fossil Gen 5, one of the most popular Wear OS devices lately. Best Regards from Turkey.

@FabioxARG Рік тому

Please make a new video with the updated version of the Nest hub 2, it has more features now!

@tinekejelsma4507 3 роки тому

Ik was heel verbaasd toen ik je ineens bij Podcast over Media hoorde! Super interessant om ook te horen hoe het is om dit allemaal te moeten meten in je dagelijkse leven :)

@TheQuantifiedScientist 3 роки тому

Haha, dankjewel Tineke! Leuk om te horen 😊

@karoljedrzejewski7225 3 роки тому

Great content as always! I'm waiting for wearable that will be able to beat or at least give similar results to fitbit. I appreciate its accuracy but i don't like Google policy to hide some stats behind paywall in new devices.

@TheQuantifiedScientist 3 роки тому

Thanks Karol! Yes, I am not a fan of this policy. Personally, I do not need all the stats that Fitbit provides right now, so the basic data is good enough. However, I would prefer just to get all the features for free, especially since the device is not cheap. Have a great day!

@kisarunihofmannndosi5327 3 роки тому

Thanks for the video. That helped me do give the Nest Hub 2 a "No" and the Fitbit Charge 4 a "Yes".

@mlegrand 3 роки тому

Thanks for the video! I've found Polar's sleep tracking to be pretty solid but I've never tested the Fitbit 2. If you feel it's the best sleep tracking wearable, it might be worth adding to my arsenal of devices for comparing a lot of the new wearables coming out.

@TheQuantifiedScientist 3 роки тому

Hi Matt! Thanks for the tip! I only tested one Polar device so far, but I would like to test some of the higher end devices at some point too :-) . Have a great day!

@user-ke3om9xj2j 2 роки тому

Excellent video!! Hope to test the sleep phaser v2 made by happy electronic! Which is more accurate😄😄

@sandiegojoey1 3 роки тому

I’m starting to think a combination of device might be good, perhaps an Oura Ring and a fitness watch like Fitbit or Garmin? All you’d need is a software program that would overlay the two devices and give a combined test.

@Frankdem99 2 роки тому

A few things. Google nest (and Google Fit) seems to keep only your detailed data for your last sleep. So you can't compare the details between nights. Also, google fit is missing a lot of information recorded from the nest such as temperature, count coughs, total snoring time, % and total time in each phase (it now labels sleep stages as Awake, REM, Light, Deep). Since I am placing the nest on my bedside at night and back to my bead head after I wake up (I did the calibration from the bedside), I am turning the sleep sensing ON when I go to bed and OFF just after I wake up. Not sure if this is a good thing? I'll never pay a monthly fee for that for sure. Thanks for your great review. Made me subscribe.

@dbhartsock Рік тому

My experience with the Nest Hub over 7 months is that it almost never detects Deep and REM sleep, and when it does the numbers are very low. Only one night in 7 months did it report believable numbers. It is very good detecting when I fall asleep and wake up. I certainly will not pay for this. I have tried positioning at different heights and positions of the Hub to no effect. Google sent me a new Hub which behaved the same.

@nicolasroussel3111 3 роки тому

Hi, Thanks for your video. A very good job, very intereting !! I Have a Sleep analyser but i cannot see my respiratory rate by hour during all night. Just a apnea score for the whole night. Do you know how i can get the respiratory rate by hour ? Again thanks for all your videos... i thinks about buy a scanwatch...

@rajeshm1644 3 роки тому

Is fitbit versa 2 a good one ? Rob… could u make a video on fitbit versa 2 pls

@aliaj8497 Місяць тому

can we please get an update on this? It seems nest hub upgraded their tracking and are using sound measures as well

@goggog7581 3 роки тому

Hi, wie immer ein super Video! Welches Consumergerät würdest du am ehesten empfehlen? Ich hab das Mi Band 5 aber es hat keine Sauerstoffüberwachung und scheint meine Remphasen nicht richtig zu dedektieren. Vielen Dank für deine unermüdlichen Anstrengungen!

@marcokoehler5020 3 роки тому

Are there plans for testing the garmin Venu 2 with the all new garmin hart rate sensor for accuracy? Looks promising so far, I got the Venu 2 3 days ago and it's a huge step up from my Vivomove Luxe with the 2019/2020 Garmin sensor. (Elevate 3?) I'm asking because as an android user im really struggling to get something at least nearly as good as the apple watch and to this point the Venu 2 is the closest I could get. Still, I'm not 100% comfortable with the results, I don't own a chest strap so I can only guess if the results are correct. I mean they feel all right but that's nothing scientific ;) I also had the amazfit gtr2 that you tested for a couple of days and I really didn't need a chest strap to figure it was complete trash in terms of heart rate accuracy, so I think I got at least something of a feeling for if it performs goog and well so far I have good hopes for the Venu 2...

@dbhartsock Рік тому

I am having no luck getting good detection of Deep and REM sleep. Both are almost always ludicrously low. Though I have worked with support and been sent a new Gen 2 Hub, I have seen no improvement. Very frustrating.

@joseluisdosreis8999 3 роки тому

Pleaseee do a video about Honor Magic Watch 2! Anyone have this one? Do you recomeend the heart rate?

@bennguyen1313 2 роки тому

Do you know of any device that works for INDUCING sleep? I fall asleep quickly, but wake up after just a couple hours, unable to fall back asleep. For example, I've read there are cymatic apps that generate music thru a headband, and can project visuals that may help? I wouldn't mind something I can wear that electrically/magnetically can calm the brain (similar to meditation) where I can then fall back asleep. Not sure if any of these are worth it, Modius Sleep, Hapbee, NeoRhythm, Muse 2/Dream, Mendi, the Circadia, Dreem 2, Fisher Wallace Stimulator, SR1 Delta Sleeper?

@RutgerS. 3 роки тому

A little offtopic, but i have the feeling that fitbit inspire 2 is better at sleep tracking than the charge 4. Therefore i'm hoping for a comparison video in the future as you haven't tested an actual charge 4 thoroughly. Cheers from the Netherlands :)

Does the Fitbit 2 do the job for people who sleep in 2 times (day and night job?) The mi band 4 when I lay down record that as a sleep time

@TheQuantifiedScientist 3 роки тому

Hi! Good question. Honestly, I am not sure, I never tested this.

@AnonymousFrench 3 роки тому

@@TheQuantifiedScientist Hello thanks for the reply. When I work on nightshift usually I sleep in 2 times morning and a nap on the afternoon. The mi band once I'm on the bed (after 5 min start tracking like I'm already sleeping). I should do the test I'll buy the inspire 2 or charge 4 and I'll figured out 😆 once again thanks for your reply and the good quality of your test !

@nnekaotika5635 3 роки тому

@@AnonymousFrench Hey, so I use the Fitbit Inspire 2. I've had it for a month now and it's pretty good for tracking afternoon naps. When I sleep at night (1 am), it is very accurate. And if I napped, it also tracks it very well.

@AnonymousFrench 3 роки тому

It seems this video is outdated. The Nest Hub detects the usual sleep stages and one also does not need a premium subscription. Overall, I'm satisfied with its sleep tracking.

I see major inconcistencies while watching your videos. Graphs for Nest Hub show it's crap, but you say it's "quite decent"?! Graphs for Huawei show on the other hand show it's much closer to the eeg device, but you crap all over it. Huh?
