Find Your Perfect Fit:
Choosing the Best Wearable for You

Choosing between an Oura Ring and a WHOOP Strap can feel overwhelming with all the conflicting advice online: there’s so much noise, it’s hard to know what’s truly right for you. That’s why I’ve done the heavy lifting for you. I use both devices myself and work with executive coaching clients who rely on them for different reasons. Each wearable has unique strengths, and I’ll help you cut through the confusion to find the one that aligns with your goals, lifestyle, and priorities. Let’s simplify the decision-making process together.

To determine the best wearable for your needs, answer the following questions by selecting one option (A or B) for each. By answering each question, you’ll pinpoint the wearable (Oura or Whoop) that aligns with your goals, health and performance priorities,lifestyle and budget.
