The best wearable for longevity?

For longevity, the evidence is clear: VO2 max is the strongest wearable-measurable predictor of all-cause mortality, followed by resting heart rate, HRV and sleep regularity. That means a GPS watch that measures VO2 max well leads, not a ring, which can only infer it. The ideal setup pairs a watch for VO2 max with a ring or band for nightly recovery.
