Would You Gift A Health Tracker?
|
No one wants a poorly considered gift
Remember that time your mum opened the biggest present under the tree, unwrapping it in a whirlwind of childlike excitement and unbridled haste only to discover it was a vacuum cleaner…from your dad? Yikes.
Polite exchanges and awkward smiles aside, we ask, could giving someone a health tracker have the same insulting impact? Or maybe they are a great way of sharing the latest innovations in fitness and healthcare with those it matters most to. So, what, if any, are the downsides to the gift of giving good health and wellbeing — Is it really so bad?
Putting the best of the Wellbeing Trackers to the test
With the vast amount of wearables out there on the market, you would be forgiven for being, at the very least, completely overwhelmed by the options. That’s why we have made a handy guide to comprehensively weigh up the benefits, so you don’t have to. After all, the festive period is busy enough as it is, especially when you’re shopping for that one tricky person.
WHOOP 4.0
We begin with WHOOP 4.0 , this year’s perfect thoughtful gift. Boasting unmatched science-backed performance optimisation, this handy device comes with tracking for heart rate, skin temperature and blood oxygen levels and is rechargeable for seamless 24/7 monitoring. It also has a waterproof design, as well as helpful insights to prevent burnout.
Now the device has integrated effective step tracking in alignment with the latest research to ensure the most measurable and relevant results. WHOOP's Senior Vice President of Data Science and Research, Emily Capodilupo celebrates the product’s focus on providing insights into recovery, strain and sleep. She also explains how basic step counters are not as precise, mainly due to the fact they don’t fully capture the intensity of your movements quite like the WHOOP strain score can.
Exclusively at Healf, you can get a 12 month subscription , helping you to get your year-round personalised insights and feedback.
WHOOP SuperKnit Band
Designed for seamless adaptability with WHOOP 4.0, we offer the SuperKnit Band in various unique flattering shades to complement their everyday style, or treat yourself!
Ultrahuman
Moving on from WHOOP, why not consider Ultrahuman in your shopping plans too? This incredible brand, positioned as the world's most extensive self-quantification platform, offers innovation through cutting edge wearables like Ultrahuman Ring AIR and Ultrahuman M1 .
Ultrahuman Ring AIR
Available in a selection of materials, the Ultrahuman Ring AIR has a super-light design, allowing you to track sleep patterns, HRV, movement, and temperature with comfort and ease.
And at only 2.4 grams, it’s an astonishing 11 times lighter than most smartwatches. The Ring Air is also designed with female health metrics in mind, such as tailored insights on menstrual cycles, pregnancy and more.
Ultrahuman M1 Live
Next up, a device offering personalised insights through real-time glucose monitoring, the Ultrahuman M1 Live 14 day plan includes expert-guided optimisation along with a supportive community. Like others in the Ultrahuman series, it enables users to improve their performance, sleep, and overall health, all with the best quality technology embedded.
The unique blood glucose monitoring feature provides practical suggestions for optimal blood sugar management and optimising fuel for workouts.
Wellbeing, wrapped up
Let’s wrap up something truly worthwhile this year… towards better sleep, balanced days, and that unmistakable feel-good glow that lasts long after the decorations are back in the box.
In the end, a health tracker might just be the gift that surprises in the best way. They’re thoughtful, useful, and a little different from the usual festive treats. And, even better, handpicked gifting bundles are guaranteed to offer something more than the short-lived excitement of most presents.
