1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,720
recently I stopped wearing my Apple watch it became quite the inconvenience

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,280
having to charge it every night and then remember to put it on every morning for

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:15,080
swirl problems so I've been looking at some Alternatives and one was this the

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:19,640
Eevee ring a smart ring that was designed specifically with Women's

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:24,199
Health in mind Better Health starts here I guess we'll find out soon if that's

6
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:30,039
really the case we've got this cute little charging case and then

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:32,079
underneath a manual and a charging case

8
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:37,440
cable I want to throw it so bad but I hit the TV every

9
00:00:34,879 --> 00:00:41,879
time first to knowe the ring comes with the charging case that's portable this

10
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:47,079
is awesome if you travel frequently or on the go often and it holds up to 10

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:52,480
charges so when your ring does eventually die after four plus days all

12
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:58,920
you need is the case and then we have this cute little charging cable which is

13
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,480
USBC I guess USBC has become the like

14
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:06,720
universal cable for most things I don't need this because the case is already

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:13,320
charged there we go I went for the gold ring option but Eevee also offers a rose

16
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:17,880
gold and a silver option and the first thing I'd like to point out specifically

17
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:23,960
about the design is that unlike its competitors it has this sort of open Gap

18
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,119
design which allows it to adapt to everchanging bodies so if your body

19
00:01:26,119 --> 00:01:31,360
swells throughout the month or if you are going through a pregnancy you don't

20
00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:36,280
have have to worry about your ring becoming uncomfortable because it will

21
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:40,759
adjust to you as somebody who wears Rings frequently in fact I go to sleep

22
00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:47,040
with my rings on so I don't have to remember to put them back on in the morning I find this design quite

23
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:51,560
comfortable it's a bit thicker obviously between all of the tiny dainty rings

24
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:55,799
that I have but I didn't find it bothered me very much especially

25
00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:00,240
sleeping with it on throughout the night and exercising throughout the day it's

26
00:01:58,039 --> 00:02:06,399
also quite light let's weigh it and see how light it really is I hate this scale

27
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:08,000
so much the tape over his eyes is just

28
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:14,080
like cursed

29
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:15,959
0.008 lb 3 G that's pretty light you you

30
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:23,200
said you have an aura ring to compare right wow honestly feeling them side by

31
00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:23,200
side this one is pretty light

32
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:32,800
too Three G they're the same uh Z

33
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:36,720
zirconium Amorphis alloy based titanium

34
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:39,760
zirconium based amorphous alloy

35
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:42,560
titanium the outer Metal Coating is made

36
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:48,959
of liquid metal which is a zirconium based amorphous alloy with a titanium

37
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:52,040
PVD coating based on my experience

38
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:55,599
wearing this for the past 5 days it's

39
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:59,239
already scuffed so that's not a great

40
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:01,120
sign but I can't expect something that

41
00:02:59,239 --> 00:03:06,519
is being being worn on my hands constantly to stay 100% scuff and

42
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:13,239
scratch resistant it's just a little disappointing and then in comparison to

43
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:17,040
the aura ring it also has experienced

44
00:03:13,239 --> 00:03:19,640
some some scuffing so I would say this

45
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:23,640
is something that is just to be expected over the weekend I found myself doing

46
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:27,360
lots of chores and washing the dishes and it was super convenient that I

47
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:31,439
didn't need to remove my ring in order to continue doing the tasks that I

48
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:35,400
wanted to throughout my day uh you can also wear it in the shower or if you

49
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:40,159
wanted to go swimming I prefer to take it off when I'm in the shower because

50
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:45,239
this little Gap actually tends to catch my hair which isn't a very comfortable

51
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:49,760
feeling so that's the only time I found that I needed to remove my ring in order

52
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:54,360
to do a daily task now it's time to get it set up with the app but first let me

63
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:41,039
issue I ran into with my experience with the Eevee ring is that when I went to

64
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:45,280
download the app on my phone it wasn't available after doing a little bit of

65
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:49,360
research I found that the app was actually only available in the US and to

66
00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:55,800
make the matter worse it's only available on iOS but it doesn't connect

67
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:57,560
with your Apple health account why so

68
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:01,840
after Belle set me up with a burner phone I was able to continue my

69
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:06,120
experience with the eveve ring so since I've been using this for a few days I've

70
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,720
already signed up with the app but the process was super simple and

71
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:14,479
straightforward I would even consider it foolproof essentially you just needed to

72
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:18,000
input your name your birthday your height your weight whether or not you

73
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:22,080
want to track your cycle and how you identify after I completed the sign up

74
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:26,560
process it prompt me to choose three goals out of five different options I

75
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:31,440
chose improving my sleep tracking my moods and doing more active minutes the

76
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:37,479
other two options were tracking my cycles and uh improving my heart health

77
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:42,759
so as you can see here it shows my sleep which we can go into and it will show

78
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:47,600
the amount of time that I've slept each night one of my gripes with this was

79
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:52,680
that I didn't find that the sleep tracking was very accurate for starters

80
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:56,919
the time that I went to bed and the time that I woke up were not accurate to the

81
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:01,880
actual times that I went to sleep and woke up this one says 12:08 but I

82
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:10,160
actually went went to bed around 11:00 and my morning did not start at 7:01 it

83
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:12,000
started closer to 7:30 or 7:45 I also

84
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:17,240
woke up frequently throughout the night and it doesn't show any activity for me

85
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:20,160
waking up which leads me to believe that

86
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:25,520
this is a little less accurate than I would have hoped especially when the

87
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:27,960
entire goal is to be more cognizant of

88
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:34,160
my sleep schedule the other things to know in the Sleep section of the app is

89
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:38,599
that it also tracks your sleep vitals so

90
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:41,240
let's go to my sleep last night and it

91
00:06:38,599 --> 00:06:48,880
shows my R variability average which was 43 milliseconds as well as my blood

92
00:06:44,919 --> 00:06:52,400
oxygen level which is 100% I will get

93
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,919
into how I feel about the blood oxygen

94
00:06:52,400 --> 00:07:00,840
uh measuring system in a second as well as my respiration rate which is about 15

95
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,280
RPM and my skin temperature

96
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:07,879
average I do appreciate that the app shows a description for each sleep stage

97
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,080
but it doesn't give you a descriptor for each metric I think that would be

98
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:17,000
something that would be super beneficial for the app because as a normal user I'm

99
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:23,080
not sure what this is supposed to indicate to me active minutes this is

100
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:28,479
another one where I found I had inconsistent readings so if I go to the

101
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:32,160
active minutes portion of the app I can see what my day looks like my week looks

102
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:37,599
like and my month looks like and I'm going to point out specifically on my

103
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:40,400
Saturday the EV app allows you to start

104
00:07:37,599 --> 00:07:44,759
activities so that it can track it consistently but if you don't start

105
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:49,919
activities it will make assumptions based on your movement and I have not

106
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:54,800
found that to be very accurate for example I didn't start an activity on

107
00:07:52,199 --> 00:08:00,000
Saturday when I went to my bar class which was an hour long and the app only

108
00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:03,440
tracked 30 active minutes m I also found my heart rate readings were not very

109
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:08,000
accurate but it doesn't display that here because I haven't had a control

110
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:12,680
like my Apple watch to compare I can't really say how accurate the steps

111
00:08:10,039 --> 00:08:19,479
portion of the app is but based on my experience with both the sleep and the

112
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:23,240
active sections I doubt that these are

113
00:08:19,479 --> 00:08:24,479
as close to Accurate as you would hope

114
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:30,240
especially for something that is supposed to be giving you advice on your

115
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:36,360
health uh then going into my body section it shows your activity again

116
00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:42,240
whether or not you have logged workouts your heart rate and spot check so spot

117
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:48,360
check essentially does a quick check on your heart rate and your blood oxygen

118
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:51,560
levels I've had VAR experiences with

119
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:53,640
this particular portion in fact there

120
00:08:51,560 --> 00:09:01,560
was a point where I had tried it once and it said my blood oxygen level was

121
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:03,200
below 95% which is not healthy and was

122
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:09,240
indicating to me that I needed to go see a doctor and then the second spot check

123
00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:11,360
I did said that I was 100 100% so let's

124
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:19,040
try it again now and see what my reading is this

125
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:21,079
time oh 99% yay it actually worked

126
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:26,440
fairly well this time the other thing I noticed is that if it doesn't accurately

127
00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:28,959
read it will prompt you to put the ring

128
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:35,120
between the tip of your thumb and your pointer finger to to gather the pulse uh

129
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:41,079
and blood reading from your fingertips instead and the other portion is the

130
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:43,959
menstrual cycle portion for a product

131
00:09:41,079 --> 00:09:49,360
that is specifically aimed at Women's Health I don't find it to be very

132
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:54,000
different from like the aura ring tracking system for example or even

133
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:57,880
Apple cycle tracker you can log your mood and symptoms but with a product

134
00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:02,160
that I'm wearing constantly I don't want to have to continually have to go back

135
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:08,720
to the app in order to input my energy level my mood my menstrual flow uh my

136
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:11,720
symptoms Etc I didn't particularly go

137
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:15,160
super in depth with this portion of the

138
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:17,839
app as my particular goals were more

139
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:23,240
based around my activity and my sleep but there are other alternatives to this

140
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:29,720
and I don't believe you need to buy a ring in order to track accurately we

141
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:35,600
have Journal which is still this this like period tracking portion and then

142
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:40,399
the goals but I don't really understand why you need to pick three out of the

143
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,079
five goals like why can't you just do

144
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:46,720
all five I am particularly sensitive about my heart health as I've talked

145
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:51,839
about in the past but because it wasn't the top priority between the three it's

146
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:55,800
just not something that can be part of my goals this is fun I actually haven't

147
00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:00,560
seen a comparison between these two product interfaces before uh my

148
00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:04,639
experience with the EV app is that it's incredibly simple to use but it's not as

149
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:10,440
accurate as I would hope for a product that is based around health I I do want

150
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:14,279
to mention that a lot of people that I have seen talking about the EV app

151
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:20,480
appreciate that it doesn't have these arbitrary scores it feels like less

152
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:25,480
pressure uh instead you're setting goals instead of trying to aim for specific

153
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:30,240
numbers well I guess when you're setting goals you are still aiming for specific

154
00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:35,480
numbers but do you find that is like you didn't do this

155
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:38,000
well uh yeah sometimes I have a lot of

156
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:42,560
notifications turn off ah so while comparing you can see that there's

157
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:47,920
definitely a difference in app quality the Aura app has a $599 subscription

158
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:51,160
cost where the EV app is actually free so as long as you purchase the ring you

159
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:57,399
can use it freely here we have a sidebyside

160
00:11:55,120 --> 00:12:00,519
comparison with the Aura app and I'm going to have Belle come and explain his

161
00:11:58,839 --> 00:12:05,560
experience with the Ora app since I'm not familiar yeah I've been using the

162
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:09,519
aura ring for quite a while like I want to say it's been about a year and the

163
00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:12,920
app is quite nice uh it gives you all these numbers saying you know how well

164
00:12:10,959 --> 00:12:16,760
you slept how hard you should go to the gym today uh tracks your steps and

165
00:12:14,839 --> 00:12:20,839
everything like that it definitely does have a problem of like you were saying

166
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:24,600
uh earlier that you know you see this and you kind of start to feel bad where

167
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:28,720
it's like man I did not do well yesterday like that's great but it gives

168
00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:35,920
you things like meditation and all this kind of sites but if you don't pay the

169
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:37,959
like $6 a month you get almost nothing

170
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:43,839
so you have to buy the ring and subscribe otherwise this app is almost

171
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:46,800
completely blank which is a big bummer

172
00:12:43,839 --> 00:12:52,120
and the ring costs 300 to 500 how much did you pay for yours well luckily I

173
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:55,120
work here at lus Texas so uh not that

174
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:58,199
but would I pay you know $300 to $500

175
00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:00,079
and $6 a month I don't know I also wear

176
00:12:58,199 --> 00:13:03,959
a smartwatch and though the battery life is a big pain in the butt yeah it's a

177
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:10,079
huge asking cost unless you're really diving into fitness and health which uh

178
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:13,199
I'm not across the board the ring cost

179
00:13:10,079 --> 00:13:15,320
$269 USD and because the app is only

180
00:13:13,199 --> 00:13:19,920
available in the US it will only ship to the US but if you want one for yourself

181
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:25,480
you can't get one because they're entirely sold out I do want to mention

182
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:30,839
that when we discussed doing this ShortCircuit I like to take a look at the

183
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:35,600
product Instagram Pages just to see what their marketing looks like from a design

184
00:13:33,199 --> 00:13:40,360
standpoint and how people are reacting to the product in general and most of

185
00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:45,199
the comments were very displeased with their customer support and so once I

186
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:49,760
went back to it a few days ago I noticed all of the comments were turned off that

187
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:53,839
alone would lead me to not want to purchase a product like this because

188
00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:58,519
customer support is so important when you're spending a significant amount of

189
00:13:55,399 --> 00:14:01,240
money on a product although the EV ring

190
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:05,800
presents a compelling concept and strong messaging behind it akin to the medical

191
00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:11,959
system when it comes to Women's Healthcare it still has flaws and some

192
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:18,320
things to work out I do appreciate companies looking further into Women's

193
00:14:14,399 --> 00:14:19,199
Health but this product is just not

194
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:25,519
there yet and for that reason I probably

195
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:28,720
wouldn't recommend it but using the

196
00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:31,440
eveve ring however has led me to look

197
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:37,639
into to more Alternatives like the aura ring because it does solve the issue

198
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:43,759
that I was having with my Apple watch so hopefully I'll find something soon that

199
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:46,079
fits my needs it's just not

200
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:49,720
this thank you so much for watching if you want to know more of my thoughts on

201
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:53,519
SmartWatches I'd recommend watching my Apple Watch series 9 video
