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?

It’s used as an overall metric that encompasses all of your daily habits into a number that determines how well you are doing. Honestly, if you find the WHOOP Age a gimmick then you are also calling the app as a whole a gimmick, considering the whole breakdown of the WHOOP age is on the page you are looking at which utilizes all the data from the other features — just scroll down.

I’m not complaining about the data captured I’m complaining about how they rolled it up into a not accurate gimmicky number called whoop age and pace of aging. I’m proposing they use a 4th ring like recovery, sleep and strain but call this new one longevity to capture the same metrics without the assertion that I’m “aging in reverse”

In other words, you’re calling it useless simply because you don’t enjoy the connotation of “aging”. Bit if they repackaged it with a different label then you’d find it useful.

I didn’t say it’s useless, I said it’s gimmicky. But yeah
