Whoop reviews and discussion

I really wanted to love Whoop, but it just didn’t work for me, and I ended up returning it. I was primarily interested in recovery tracking rather than activity tracking, and I didn’t find it particularly useful or accurate for that purpose. The insights weren’t as useful as I had hoped, and after a while, I just stopped checking it. One thing I did like was the low-profile design—I don’t love the look of most fitness trackers, but Whoop is minimal and discreet. However, the fabric band kind of grossed me out. When it got wet from washing my hands, it stayed damp (sometimes even made my sleeve wet). It just always felt a little soggy, which I wasn’t a fan of. Also, the membership fee just seemed way too high.

I purchased a year membership for my son for Christmas. I was assured delivery by Christmas. I was sure to follow up every day. On the 24th, I checked my order status and it showed that delivery would be after Christmas. I was devastated. I contacted customer service to see what could be done. I offered to drive to the nearest store which was one hour away to do an in person pick-up. The only choice they offered me was to go purchase an additional membership for another 300+ dollars and then go through the hassle of having to return the one that was to be delivered after Christmas. I tried to explain to the associate that considering it was Christmas Eve, I did not have an additional 300+ dollars lying around and that doing that was just not an option for me. Her response was to hang up on me! I was mortified! What poor business. I cannot see where that would be justified in any situation. I would not recommend doing business with a company that condones their employees hanging up on their customers. Wow. Just. Wow.

So accurate for fitness and sleep tracking. I’ve used an Apple Watch before this and since I got the whoop I’ve been using it for three years. If you’re into fitness I recommend it. Try a free month if you’re not sure!

Ask my people and they will say I am obsessed with my Whoop. I have truly started to base my workouts on my recovery levels and am competitive with myself when it comes to my sleep score and consistency. My data has helped me establish a healthier workout routine centered on what is best for my body and not just closing an arbitrary ring. I have multiple colored bands and the swim protectors!

Absolutely the best Health fitness product available with focus on strain, recovery and sleep. Waterproof and basically never leaves your wrist (battery recharges while on clasp). All people should know their body data to be focused on how you recover. User since 2017 and firm believer in how the Whoop captures data, calculates your recovery overnight and measures inputs through a daily diary for better outcomes.

Device has issues with accuracy and consistently malfunctions. Also $50 brightly colored band faded to brown in a month and I could not get them to replace it. Buyer beware. You’d save a lot of money if you simply use common sense in your training and recovery.

I have had the whoop for almost years Pros; really tells you where your body is at before you even start noticing. For example it started to indicate that my body needed to recover right before I started getting sick and their metrics are great. Also easy to wear, easy to charge and the application is super customer friendly. -customer service tends to be 10/10 Cons: -Battery life. After having it for a while the battery life starts to drain super fast which can be a bit of a challenge - I wish it was more consistent in terms of recording activities such was walking or LISS because the range of calories/strain really range even though the workout is almost identical

It's great but it's not...

I love my whoops! As a High Performance Athlete it really helps me stay on track with recovery, sleep, goals & habits! Along with my training with strain levels & calorie burn. Total worth it

I was a bit skeptical when signing up for Whoop, but now I'm absolutely in love with it! I can see the correlation between my sleep data and how it affects my performance in other activities. It's definitely worth giving it a try, as it can be helpful for some people but may not be suitable for everyone. What I really enjoy is the versatility of wearing it not just on my wrist, but also on my waist and arms. It's pretty cool, albeit a bit pricey, but totally worth it!

Expensive product and not comparable to Apple Watch or oura.

I really believe I will be a Whoop customer for life. The sleep data alone has had a serious impact on my life.

Excellent device especially for pregnancy or immunocompromised. I found this especially helpful while I was pregnant to check in with my recovery and exertion, and bought one for a family member who has some heart issues and has found it tremendous in self-management while also acting under a dr's care. While I think this is excellent for an active athlete, I do not fall in that category and still loved my 2 years with it.

I love my WHOOP. I wear it every day and night to track my sleep and it really influences how I think about my health. My daily journal allows me to track what influences my recovery. When I was sick with C*vid, it tracked my heart rate so I was able to understand when I needed to take care of myself a little bit more. Overall love it and will be buying a new band soon!

I genuinely love my whoop. Have been wearing it for over two years. I am not a huge athlete but love it mostly for the sleep tracking and to make sure I'm setting goals for workout and recovery. The tech is very cool, and I like that I can charge it on the go and not have to take it off. Only downside is not having a watch face.

I have had my whoop for a year and live by it. It doesn't give you credit for things like steps or general movement - only when you workout hard. I love using this to track sleep, find out what habits help me perform better and to push me to workout harder.

Works great for specific things, but their membership payment setup isn't worth the cost. With all the smartwatches out there now, they can do similar readings without monthly fees or at least lower costs. Whoop is awesome in theory and used to be unique, but now it's not worth the long term costs. The bands also start to get too loose over time and are silly expensive to replace. If you're a pro athlete or training for an Ironman, maybe this is right for you. But again, most watches are equally good these days.

Their sensor does not work well. It relies on HRV data but the data collection is not accurate and you cannot fix it manually. Upsides are the black wrist band looks fashionable and everyone's hyped about this in the past year so you're part of the cool wearable club eg people with apple watches, whoop or Garmin

I have been a loyal WHOOP user for almost two years. The product insights are exceptional, and customer service is fast.

I'm super interested in data behind myself and my body but never really found existing wearables that interesting – even Apple Watch (I have a Series 3) which I like how it looks but I found it annoying that I need to tell it when I'm working out I ordered Whoop after looking at it a few times over a couple of months and their model of the band being free (or cheap?) but then you pay a subscription to use the app etc was interesting but £30/month is overly expensive I think. I also looked at the Oura ring which a couple of friends have – and love – but I don't like wearing rings so that was out of the question – I really liked how Whoop's 4.0 band was minimal, no screen and very flat to my wrist – and the app looked great too. One thing I really like about it is the charging is done through a little black "puck" thing which slides on top of the band. I charge the puck daily via USB-C and then when the band itself gets low on charge (lasts 3-4 days on a full charge) I just slide the puck on top of it and continue my day until it's charged so you really never have to take it off. As far as I know it's also waterproof but I don't like the feel of the fabric band being wet so I just take it off when I shower. The app is good and collects a tonne of data including calories burned, heart rate variability, blood oxygen level, respiratory rate and more and being able to capture those without any manual input is really nice. It also lets you know if any of the things I mentioned get outside your "normal" zone which can be an indicator of injury or illness and being able to get a heads up if you might be getting sick ahead of time is really interesting and one of the main reasons i got it. You can also generate a PDF of your insights which is interesting and I haven't seen other solutions offer that (though I could be wrong)
