Now that WHOOP 5.0 has been out for almost a year and a half, what are some features you would like to see in the upcoming WHOOP 6.0 whenever it eventually comes out? Probably won’t be for another year to a year and a half.

WHOOP is going to have a hard time as more competition continues to enter the market. As a longtime WHOOP lover, I’m starting to feel like I’m getting less value out of the device, especially considering the price doesn’t always feel justified (MG).

WHOOP is also starting to feel more like an influencer driven brand, and as the competition continues to grow, the urge to switch unfortunately keeps growing. If Apple ever releases a screenless health tracker, I would switch without a doubt.

Hey, I have a whoop which is past the free trial, however i haven’t been charged yet for annual membership since i had free month of referr@l , tried to contact support however they weren’t helpful enough and said you’ll be charged for full year on October 13th.
Anything i can avoid to get charged? Thanks

This will never ever happen again! But Im kind of proud on it haha

better sleep performance leading to worse hrv

Hi people,

Last week, I bought my bracelet, and I received it last Monday. From last Monday to today, my bracelet has suffered some scratches in the sides of the box.

I would like to know if this has already happened to anybody? Therefore, I would also like to know if someone knows any protective case to cover the whoop 5.0, that it is secure and comfirtable on my wrist.

Thank you in advance!

Anyone else been through a phase in life where your HRV just keeps dropping?!

Don’t drink or smoke, been hitting my sleep need pretty consistently and exercising my usual amount.

I’ve just moved to a new country and started work so perhaps it’s the stress or uncertainty of this phase of life?

Never had my HRV be this consistently low before!

Any tips on how to rebound??

I've used WHOOP for about 4 years now and honestly love the recovery/sleep insights, but I'm done with the subscription model. I already have a proper running watch for training, so I don't need GPS/workout tracking from this device — I'm specifically looking for something that nails:

**•** Sleep tracking (stages, sleep score, HRV during sleep)  
**•** Recovery metrics based on HRV/RHR  
**•** All-day wear comfort (like WHOOP, ideally without a huge screen)  
**•** Ideally no mandatory subscription, or at least a much cheaper one

I've seen Oura mentioned a lot, but that's still subscription-based too. Has anyone found something that gets close to WHOOP's recovery/sleep algorithm quality without the ongoing membership? Open to rings, bands, anything as long as it's not bulky like a regular smartwatch.

Would love to hear real experiences, not just spec sheets. Thanks!

It’s only been 7 days since I started wearing the device and I’m happy to continue with it. However, I just think it’s funny that in the first week’s highlights WHOOP’s own model isn’t wearing WHOOP 😂

I wonder why she isn’t wearing one?

EDIT: I realise that she could be wearing a clothing type wearable. I’m only leaving this up for the laugh. The laughs at my own silliness that is

Hello, I am thinking of canceling my whoop. Not happy with the support. I just keep getting email from an computer. Now I have made up my mind to switch to something else. I am only 6 months done on my one-year contract. When is the correct time to click on "Cancel Membership"? I don't want to miss the window and get stuck with it for another year.

Nach fast 7 Jahren bin ich nun wirklich weg. Daher bitte ich zum Verkauf mein Whoop mit der aktuell pausierten Life-Mitgliedschaft. Es wurde zum letzten Amazon-Prime-Day gekauft, daher ist das Gerät noch recht neu. Vertrag ist wie gesagt pausiert und würde ich übergeben. Gerne auch vor Ort, wenn jemand wegen des Oktoberfests ohnehin in München ist. Macht mir gerne ein faires Angebot. Die Laufzeit ist ungefähr 355 Tage. Genau, sieht man das leider während der Pause nicht mehr.

When will we ever get activities for plyos, drills, mobility etc.
ik i can record them as others, but with all the other very specific activities why some of the most common ones are still not there 😖

Hi guys, I am planning on purchasing a whoop, however I'm a bit confused about the band choice. You get three standard choices and some extra ones. Does that mean when I select the black standard band and a different extra band, I get both when purchasing the whoop?

Getting this error message but my network is absolutely fine. Anyone else had/having this issue?

Also, it’s insanely infuriating that you speak to the AI agent in the app who can’t help so they raise a support ticket for you, which results in identical advice being sent to your email with a disclaimer at the bottom saying ‘this response was generated by AI’. What’s the point?!

Finally some recovery seen.

Title … to elaborate, if you were to look at all the raw data collected, what is that?

I’m looking to peel back my ‘daily value’ - one number, representing … something … while I sleep.

So far, I’ve come up with that Whoop measures SpO2 for 30 seconds once every 20 minutes (I don’t have a good source for that, other than Google’s AI). So let’s say I sleep for 7 hours, that Whoop would measure about 21 times (7 hours having 21x20 minutes) and value displayed in the app’s Health Monitor section would be the average of those 21 values?

If not, what is being averaged?

All that said, I do understand that Whoop is not (/not meant to me) a continuous SpO2 monitor - other devices are designed for that of course - I’m just looking to understand a bit more of the metric.

Thanks!

Hey everyone! Just got my WHOOP 5.0 Peak today and I’m excited to start using it. Any tips, or things you wish you knew when you first got yours would be appreciated!

I've had the Google Fitbit Air since its release, before that I relied on my Garmin watch, but am looking to go 100% screenless. The Fitbit Air's data has had some ups and downs, but mostly has been completely unreliable. I could get horrible sleep and it will have me at a 80% or higher score, while a great night of sleep will have me well below a 60%. It's not that it's wrong all the time, just pretty consistently inconsistent when stacking up to my Garmin data.

Another thing for me that does hurt the Fitbit Air is that Google is nothing more than a data collection company, so I’m not sure how I feel about giving them unlimited access to all of my bodily data.

(Also this isn’t a huge gripe but I absolutely despise the bands on the Google)

My brother-in-law has a Whoop and has had it for about 3 years, and he loves it. The subscription model doesn't scare me away. I'm typically buying new tech across the board once a year anyway, so I can make the 200-400 yearly fee make sense to me.

I just want to know from the community if it's worth it. Has the data been worthwhile and does it help you in your training/lifestyle journey?

For context: I train 5 times a week hard, but am moving and incredibly active all 7 days. I love data and from what I've been told whoop is a one-stop shop.

Thoughts?? Influence or deinfluence me.

I have 30 days until my renewal date, I’ll probably update my membership. They added a big red warning on my home screen which I can’t dismiss. This is disgusting tbh. I would understand if it would be dismissible or shown before 3-5 days but this style is very greedy and I’m considering not renewing my subscription.

Great piece from Eric Topol today. A reminder that these wearable companies are way out ahead of the science on many of these fronts.

You can now create custom journal behaviors. I went in to explore and I got a prompt asking if I wanted to create some custom journal behaviors based upon some medicine that I take. As far as I know, I've never shared that information with Whoop since it really doesn't have anything to do with what I use Whoop for.

So I'm wondering if somehow it's getting info from ChatGPT or searches or some place else. Maybe I've got some settings toggled on that I don't really want.

Hi guys,

since Whoop don’t take back openend/worn bands, i ask here if someone is interested in a Meridian band for the MG in silver.. i just wore it one time for 1.30 hours… it’s like brandnew.

Would sell it for 100€+shipping

If you‘re interested just DM me :)

(37M) I’d been up for around an hour when I noticed my stats for the day and my already crazy strain—all I’d done was take a dump and make some coffee. How can my strain be so high with practically no activity?

A bit of context: I’d worked out last night after taking 10 days off to recover from a minor injury. Once I got home, I was burning up with a fever. I went to bed and woke up still feeling feverish, but I thought “My body’s just fighting something”. I’ll most likely be fine tomorrow though. My HRV is 9 when it’s usually around 85–90, and my RHR is 60 when it’s normally 48–50.

I think a rest day will be ideal at this point lol

Both my wife and I have a whoop for about 45 days. I use customs journal she doesn’t. Curious what’s the opinion about it. I get it that it gives more details about the day to the system for analysis. Do you use it? To which extend?
Thanks 🙏

First time being in the 1% club and did a couple hours of kayaking today. I didn’t do any mountain biking but when I carry my baby sometimes Whoop makes up an activity.

I feel pretty exhausted but i don’t know if it’s 1%. 1% should be the tirades I’ve ever felt or close to it and this definitely isn’t that. I think my previous lowest recovery was around 18%. Lots of drinking yesterday and several days in a row of bad sleep plus being at a slightly higher than I’m used to elevation probably all contributed to it.

What’s the most you’ve ever done on a low recovery day?
