I have to say that I stack up more favorably in the Garmin comparisons than the annual Whoop ones — which perhaps show a more diverse and open user base using Garmin's huge range of sports watches and smartwatches.

Check out the stats below, and see how you compare.

Body Battery

  • According to Garmin, the average peak Body Battery in the morning is 71, dropping to 22 by bedtime, with an average daily energy drain of 49.
  • Energy is highest on Tuesday mornings (average 74) and lowest on Saturday evenings (average 20).
  • The Netherlands apparently has the highest average Body Battery score (74), while Japan has the lowest (66).
