Santa may be getting me an Oura this Christmas and curious how F6 users who have an Oura are using theirs together. My questions include:
- Do you only wear your Oura when sleeping? I don’t wear my F6 to bed except maybe if I’m traveling, so one of the main reasons I am interested in the Oura is that I’d be willing to wear it to sleep (and by all accounts its sleep data are better)
- Do you write Garmin data to Apple Health and then have Oura read it? If so, which metrics do you write to Apple Health? I’ve heard Oura is not good at tracking activity/effort since it only uses the accelerometer and not the other metrics it’s capable of tracking. When using Apple Health as an intermediary, does the Garmin activity data provide helpful input into Oura’s algorithms?
- Is there any way to import Oura sleep data into Garmin Connect? I’m trying to decide which platform/device I use as my go-to for recovery. I currently use Garmin Recovery Advisor but that is only based on my most recent activity (doesn’t accumulate effects of multiple workouts) and also doesn’t factor in sleep. On the other hand, Oura doesn’t track activities well but maybe the imported Garmin data via Apple Health will do the trick?
- I’d prefer to keep the Oura on all the time (vs having to remember to swap it out with my wedding ring every night and morning). But if I’m importing Garmin data to it via Apple Health, will that double count activity? Maybe I only write ‘Active Energy’, ‘Flights Climbed’ and ‘Workouts’ to Apple Health from Garmin? (this was part of my question above about which metrics to have Garmin write)
