This video scientifically tests Apple's new sleep score feature, comparing its results to those from the Oura Ring and Whoop strap. The presenter, Rob, details how the Apple sleep score is calculated, its compatibility with non-Apple devices, and its retrospective calculation capabilities. He also presents data and correlation graphs to compare the accuracy and consistency of sleep scores across the different devices, discussing the implications of varying sleep-tracking methodologies.
You don't need an Apple Watch to get Apple's sleep score. Any smartwatch or other device that tracks sleep stages and syncs them to Apple Health seems to result in a sleep score. This means devices like Garmin, Huawei, or other brands that can sync their sleep stage data to Apple Health will also yield an Apple sleep score. However, the reliability of this score depends on the quality of the sleep tracking from the specific device used.
