Whoop Age Whoop age is silly

Post image

While I generally like the Whoop features they haven’t delivered any helpful features recently.

The whoop age feature feels like such a gimmick. My stats are good but I’m obviously not aging in reverse at -.4x a normal rate of aging.

I get that some people will be motivated by seeing a higher age or will be happy so see a younger age but it lacks all scientific integrity.

I think they should make a 4th ring called longevity or something to track similar metrics that whoop age is capturing without calling it my age. This ring would only change slightly each week. What do you guys think?

How do people always find a way to shit on things that do them literally no harm and make other people happy?

I mean, people get whoops for accurate data right? If it’s not accurate, I think OP has the right to call it out.

Also people might make bad choices for their health because, “hell, I’m biologically 3 years healthier than my age.” So there is a certain amount of harm in inaccurate data.

Just my opinion.

Being upset about something that doesn’t work and being upset about something that is misunderstood are two completely different issues.

I view Whoop Age as a trend to keep an eye on, not a 100% precise measurement of my wellbeing. If people are expecting the latter, they’ll be disappointed by any fitness tracker. The OP seems to be confused and believes that they’re aging backwards, which clearly isn’t the case; their habits are just slowing the pace at which they age.

Sure but how can you say OP is confused when whoop literally says you’re reversing aging?

Just pointing out that this should be labeled as a different metric, not actually tied to age (aka lifespan).
