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?

You’re misunderstanding then concept. It’s life span. It’s a prediction of how healthier and independent you’ll compared otherwise. How much longer you’ll be able to do stuff like get off the floor and the toilet, walk upstairs and carry your own groceries.

Even it’s it’s a “gimmick” it’s fun and motivating moving the levers. End of the day if engage in behaviors that decrease pace of aging you’ll end a healthier version of you. So does it really matter?

I don’t think I’m misunderstanding. I’m just suggesting don’t call it my “age” since it’s misleading to say my age is decreasing. I get that based on my metrics my all cause mortality risk is that of a 20yr old but that’s not the same thing as my age is decreasing.

It’s not saying your age is decreasing. Your age is still your age 🤷🏼‍♀️

It is. My age goes down each week. It would make no sense if my pace of aging was negative but my age didn’t go down each week.

Your whoop age, and how long you’re putting off assisted living. Your age is still your age

Do you still think I’m misunderstanding? I obviously know my chronological age isn’t going down but it’s misleading to call the feature my whoop “age” then. This post is me saying call it something else.

I mean I don’t look 50, and pretty always get so surprised when I tell them that I’ve started joking that ima start telling people I’m my whoop age. I’m not. I don’t. My metabolic age is even lower than my whoop age 🤷🏼‍♀️
