Whoop

Always been interested in the Whoop but never met anyone who uses it. I use an Apple Watch and just take it off for 20 min in the evening to charge it and charge it in the car on the way to work.

Crazy. I literally came here to start this exact thread. I asked about the differences in Fitbits a while back, and someone just said “whoop” or something without any explanation on what it is/was. I’ve been researching it, and it looks like the data is much more in depth and accurate. And I like to wear a regular watch on one wrist, and even the smaller Fitbits still look a bit like watches. I’d much rather wear the no-face band of the Whoop.

That said, there’s a monthly subscription. The minimum requirement is 6 months at $30/month. You can get better deals on 12 or 18 month commitments, but you have to pay up front. I haven’t decided if it’s worth it or not.

WHOOP—There it is

Apparently the thing gets pissed off at when you even have a single drink at night. It will say that you are barely recovered from the previous day because you had a drink

And you’re right, it’s a ton of data. Probably too much for most people. I agree that their target demo is for hardcore marathoners, cyclists, triathletes, and Silicon Valley lifehackers.

The data is interesting and I'd love to use it, but the subscription is just a deal breaker. Not worth it. You can get most of the same data from a Garmin with wrist based HR monitoring and a million other features Whoop doesn't have.

Does anything provide accurate(ish) blood pressure monitoring? Cause that could be really helpful. I read something a while back about a feature the new Apple watches are supposed to have whenever they come out. Don’t remember exactly what it was, though.

I just got a Whoop. Gonna wear it for a solid 2 weeks and compare the data to my Garmin. If not a huge difference, I’ll just return it before the 30 day window and get my money back.
