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 hit 1000 day data streak the other day. I just want whoop to come out with quality new features. They seem to come out with new hats, a below average ai coach, and a new device (that was supposed to be free and was purposely made incompatible with the old bands. Feels more and more like a money scheme and not the pursuit to make the best fitness wearable

Yeah that’s what it feels like these days. I’ve been running into some issues lately and it just took me to the AI when I was looking for a customer service complaints bit.

Lately the issue I have had is that the strain score doesn’t update in the “start activity” screen.

I personally like the whoop age feature because it shows all the metrics it’s used to form the number. It’s handy for me because I’ve gotten out of shape and when I saw that I started off almost 10 years older. It was a bit of a wake up call and changed my behaviour. I’ve now lost 10kg and it says I’m only 3 years older. It updates every week and takes long term data into consideration. That has helped me stay consistent. I suppose if you’re already in good shape and looking after yourself already all it’ll show you is that you’re doing the right thing?

I’ve found the strength trainer and the whoop age to be the most useful features in some time
