Would love to try it, but the subscription is a dealbreaker personally. Sticking with my Garmin for the time being (has most of the features of whoop anyways)
Fenix 6 Pro Sapphire for me seems to cover all bases. Must admit I like being able to check my HR during a run as that's the key metric for me. I use it with an external HR armband for better accuracy. I do find myself coming back to reviews like this though....
Yea that is a really good point to be able to check your HR when running. WHOOP definitely more recovery and sleep focussed vs the data and performance metrics you get with Garmin for running.
I had a garmin forerunner 965 lasted 2 yrs now I got a whoop paid the annual and I love it if anything goes wrong w it they’ll send you another device like most wearables ppl usually upgrade after a year or battery becomes sluggish and you trade it in so the paywall isn’t really a deal breaker imo
dont like: O2 sat 1x at night, Temp 1x at night. Alarm doesn't have an option to wake you during a lighter sleep stage(had on a phone app- really liked). ???if step count accurate? steps not counted but arm activity is?
I use sleep tracking app from android and whoop auto detect on sleep like droid catches the naps and then works together with fit and whoop to stay accurate also sleep like droid has nap options which are nice
Did the free trial. Heart rate monitor is too inaccurate. Also can’t input resting heart rate so for heart rate zones aren’t correct. A Garmin or Coros is way better for the vast majority of use cases. I wanted to try the whoop for activities where you cant wear a watch. Problem is, the data is just not accurate as the heart rate monitor is poor. I tested the heart rate against a Garmin HRM Pro and used the Whoop on my bicep.
Whoop sensor calibrates for one month to your body. In fact free trial is stupidity because it does not give you relevant data. They should be giving two months free trial but of course I see why they do it this way. I use it for two years already and it is great for data accuracy. I love the fact it does not have any display. Hope they will keep it that way for Whoop 5.0.
This company is an absolute disgrace of an organization (Whoop). I order 2 Whoops on 18th December 2024, still today 7th January 2025, no Whoops, limited response. The company is a disgrace before the band is even reviewed. Poor customer services.
Reall bad experience. Wore it 4 years and hoped that it will get better but it get worse. HRM absolutely useless for sports... Support non existent.. Cash grab at its bestlast year or two.
What's been your experience with the WHOOP 4.0?

Yup! Garmin is great. Which one do you have? The sleep tracking stuff in Garmin is the most noticeable difference vs WHOOP.

Whoop as a company was brainstorming how to be more cost efficient and completely got rid of the screen 😭😭😭
Is it able to identify if you oversleep?
Sold my Garmin and have money for 3 years subscription 👌🏻
Boom! Let us know how you get on with the WHOOP.
Where do you wear it when sparring in boxing?

Great video! Do you know whether there will be a black friday deal?
Thanks! Just checked on the WHOOP website black Friday deals are live.
There is but it's not a lot off at all tbh

the only thing really good with whoop is their marketing. its a cheap ass HR strap, that guesstimates the rest.
