"So awesome to only need to charge the Whoop every 14ish days as well, compared to the Apple Watch everyday"

"is comfortable ... haven't taken mine off since I got it last year"

"I’d say the behavior journaling/insights is a killer feature that distinguishes whoop from its competitors. ... a ton of whoop users reduce their alcohol consumption substantially because this feature is great at showing you how alcohol impacts recovery. in money saved on booze, whoop probably pays for itself for a good chunk of its users."
"I do like the sleep metics. ... It’s not as simple as “did I sleep well” or “did I get enough sleep”. To me anyway, actual numbers are more informative. ... And keeping up with the journal helps — I found that my sleep was generally worse on work-from-home days, for example. Then I could modify and be sure I was active during the day."
"It’s been great for balancing strain/recovery/sleep. ... so having Whoop tell me which days I should go harder or lighter has made such a difference in my training regiment!"

"If you are looking for highly accurate HRV and recovery information, you should use WHOOP. ... whoop provides more accurate data. ... Whoop main focus on recovery and vitals ... according to him whoop provides more accurate data. ... If you are really after the best data on recovery, whoop is imho the best offer on the market."

"that you are able to use the whoop in many different forms. ... I hate having to wear an apple watch or garmin to bed with me but I love how whoop has the option to put wrap the device around your stomach."
"You can get bicep bands so they aren’t as visible. ... They also have some underwear options so it goes under the waistband, and other options that aren’t as visible. ... The best aesthetic for a tracker is invisible so this beats any other options IMO."

"Support had me go through all the usual troubleshooting steps — no fix. ... I was told a replacement had been “processed” and would ship. ... It’s now been nearly two weeks and my order is still showing as “processing”. ... I’ve exchanged 24+ emails with Support. The replies are all scripted apologies and vague “please wait” responses. ... Their site promises 3–5 days for new orders, yet for a replacement I’ve paid almost $500 for, I’ve received nothing. ... I’ve asked for a refund policy and escalation, but I keep getting ignored."
"Horrible mistake. This has completely bricked my account. ... I’ve been on the phone with WHOOP several times and we’ve been emailing over the last week trying to get back into my account, and there seems to be no fix available whatsoever. ... I can’t get on the account using my primary email, I can’t get on the account using my secondary email, and WHOOP recommended that I just make a new email address, stating that this would fix the issue. So I made a random email JUST for WHOOP, and they responded saying they updated the email address and that I should be able to login. I cannot. The account is still bricked, and I still cannot login. ... They’re also refusing to refund my money (even though I started my $300 membership just 57 days ago) but offered me a 1 month membership credit ON THE ACCOUNT THAT I CANNOT ACCESS."
"I had the worst experience with Whoop’s customer service. ... It feels like their emails are being answered by AI. ... I returned the device before the trial period ended, yet they still charged my credit card for the annual payment. ... Despite repeatedly emailing them for a refund, I keep getting irrelevant requests like asking for my date of birth."

"HR reading on Whoop are known for being absolutely aweful. ... Better having an accurate reading every 5 minutes than multiple bad readings every seconds. ... Whoop has awesome software and data analysis, but makes it somehow unusable because of bad hr data in. ... If HR accuracy is not a problem for you, and only follow "very general trends", yeah Whoop is a cool product. But if you are at some minimal point serious about HR accuracy, for real sport / performance / improvment, you cannot relly on it. ... If a Polar device, Garmin, apple watch says it's at 80 with readings every minute or so, and whoop says 65 every seconds, your "constant readings" are not worth anything. Garbage in, garbage out. ... Even counting it manually with a timer and my finger on my neck would be more accurate. ... their linear HR sensors are poor quality, and not the ideal way of positioning them (VS circular patern)."
"I had Whoop for three months and it started showing a very bad data. Like catastrophicly bad. ... Bought Polar chest strap to check my HRV, it was VERY different and was showing me my normal data, data that whoop originally showed to me as well until three months into use it stopped."
"The thing whoop is giving me is wildly inaccurate HR readings. ... Did a casual bike ride with my child yesterday afternoon and whoop gave me a 187 high HR. This was a really slow like 4 block bike ride. ... AW said 108hr peak. Ive biked hard, ran as hard as possible doing max HR tests with my H10 chest strap and never hit above high 160s. ... Im not sure whats going on but its been doing this type of odd HR readings all week."

"Can’t even recommend Whoop bc the Step tracking on that is generationally bad."
"step count way off 30% more than samsung or apple watch"
"To be honest, I’ve never had such an inaccurate tracking like on the whoop…"

"Because whoop doesn't give me real time pace/ability to change music/things I like to see whilst running on my wrist on a screen"
"It shines green light into your face at night although it is screenless."
"The Whoop’s lack of in-built GPS"
I’m testing the waters right now. 3 years with an AWU and Whoop to a F8 Pro. I’ve had a Garmin watch with LTE on my wish list for a while now and jumped at the opportunity when it was released. Satellite connectivity made it a no brainer. I spend a considerable amount of time away from cellular reception. I got rid of my inReach when the iPhone got satellite capabilities. I was leaning on LTE on my AWU for emergency rescue when I was near civilization but it burned me once in rural Kansas when I didn’t have my phone. I prefer not to carry a phone with me while on long distance bike rides (gravel) or ultra distance trail runs. I’m getting used to Garmin body battery and similar from Whoop strain and recovery metrics. The golf experience on Garmin is kind of great. Battery life is a HUGE win over AWU. Heart rate broadcast fills a small void that kept me from ditching Whoop, and Whoop could never keep up with HIIT and rapid HR changes. I haaaaate notifications on my wrist; that’s the first thing I turned off when I got the AWU or F8Pro. If I don’t have my phone with me, I don’t want to be reachable. I still have my AWU but I think it’s going to end up on eBay.
r/GarminWatches • I'm considering switching from an Apple Watch to a Fenix 8. ->I have been a Whoop wearer for 4 years. I have had a Garmin 945 for 5. This is exactly my use case—run and strength (and whatever else) with the Garmin and whoop for the overall experience.
r/whoop • Running watch just to run ->I wear my BB58 and other watches in my collection on my left. Whoop strap on my right. It's the perfect product for me. Decent battery life, all the fitness tracking data I want and it doesnt look like a watch so works with a watch on the other wrist. Highly recommend.
r/Tudor • Does anyone here wear your Tudor and a fitness tracker on the other arm? ->I use a WHOOP fitness strap. It has the zones and activities
r/orangetheory • What fitness tracker or watch can replace OTF heart rate monitor? ->I was upset when it was 3.0 to 4.0. I've been a loyal follower since the beginning. But this really is a slap in the face to people who have paid the subscription prices and also bought all the accessories each time they put out a new f****** b******* upgrade with substandard hardware. Had had to rebuy everything (3 to 4). Frankly, I don't care what they've done. I'm tired of this. What's next? 2 years it's 6? Buy everything again. Get chipped on the f****** prices we've paid. No thank you. Cut your losses. Go to Garmin, go to an apple, go to anything but whoop.
r/whoop • This MG thing feels like such a slap in the face as a user for the last 4 years. ->It’s always been way behind the market. As recently as the 3.0 it would register routine walks as stress stress workouts because the motion made it think HR was 160+
r/whoop • Scientific Amazfit Helio Strap and Comparison with WHOOP - The Quantified Scientist ->I’ve tried quite a few and have landed on whoop. Whoop is solid for tracking recovery and overall activity levels, and is great at tracking long term trends. I do question the accuracy of the data, but the data is consistently tracking the same thing, and is tracking something meaningful, so it works well for me. I also don’t always love the interpretation of the data, but once I worked all that out I could use what I have perfectly well. I like the screen less design, I can jam it in cracks without an issue, and I like how it feels on my wrist. I don’t even notice it anymore.
r/climbergirls • Thoughts/recommendations on wearables ->I wear a whoop when climbing. It doesn’t have a screen, so I don’t worry about it. I’ve jammed it in cracks quite a few times without issue.
r/bouldering • Do you climb with a watch on? ->Truthfully I wear my watch only when I’m working out. I don’t use it when sleeping or everyday errands, I use my whoop almost 24/7 cause I do take it off when showering.
r/whoop • Wearing an Apple Watch AND a Whoop? ->I wear a whoop strap on my off hand, and when I am wearing a watch on my primary watch wrist.
r/OmegaWatches • Fitness trackers and wearables. ->I tried a Whoop strap on a trial basis a few years ago and the charging system was actually pretty cool. It was a clip that fixed over top of the sensor and you could charge it while wearing it.
r/AppleWatch • I’m really tired carrying an out-of-battery watch around. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
