WHOOPLife – 12-Month Membership – MG Device – Health & Fitness Tracker – Blood Pressure Insights, Activity Tracking – ECG Software – 14+ Days Battery Life

I'm new to Whoop, and this is an awesome product. The 14 day battery life means that I barely have to think about charging. The heart health and longevity capabilities are super cool. I'm really looking forward to using this more over the coming weeks. And the product looks great.

Thinking of switching from WHOOP 4.0 to 5.0? Don’t. The so-called “free upgrade” is a trap. The moment you try to return, update, or manage your account, WHOOP shows its true face: a company built on confusion, hidden charges, and a broken support system.Customer service is a black hole — canned responses, no resolution, and endless back-and-forth. You’ll waste hours, if not weeks, trying to fix simple issues while they quietly keep charging you.New to WHOOP? Don’t even start. There are far better fitness trackers out there — cheaper, clearer, and with actual customer support.Already on 4.0? Don’t upgrade. In fact, consider letting your subscription expire. Walking away from WHOOP is the best upgrade you’ll ever make. It’ll save you money, time, and the headache of dealing with one of the most anti-consumer companies in the wellness space.

I finally bought one of these things because of all the hype and fell for it. I've used an apple watch for years and wanted to try something new but everything this offers is probably just going to be applied as an update on current apple watch models. I do high intensity workouts and run a few miles daily and this thing is counting calories as if I were working out for 3 hours. These products aren't meant to be precise but it's telling me I'm burning almost 600 calories more than what I did with my apple watch and even that device isn't accurate. Anyways I'm sure Whoop 6.0 will have a screen on the thing, and they'll slowly implement small features with every version in order to keep selling these devices. Great marketing but lackluster product.

The battery life so far has been way better compared to the Whoop 5.0, and the ECG feature works well.

I bought this device today after reading some promising articles about it. Delivery was fast, and the hardware seemed solid. But once I installed the app, the problems started. I purchased the most expensive version (MG), which was supposed to include their premium membership, but the app didn’t recognize it. It left me with the basic plan, and now it’s asking me to pay another $200 to unlock the features I already paid for.

Arrived very fast and it was an easy set up ! 12months were added to my account.

I received the whoop mg quickly, but there was no renewal code for whoop life. When switching from my 4.0 to life. It updated to the new mg device and kept the app at whoop peak access.

Just got it today, so this is a review of just initial impressions and will be updated over time.What I love:-The Healthspan feature is awesome. I’ve been a Whoop customer for about a year, so this is an upgrade for me, and the whole reason I became a customer was to improve my longevity/lifespan. So this feature is a great start because it breaks down logically how you would age based on metrics such as sleep, heart rate, strain, etc. It uses an algorithm to determine your age and speed of aging. How accurate is it? I am skeptical it is accurate because you can’t really prove it, but hey, at least it does give something to track against, which to my knowledge, hasn’t been invented yet.-The battery life supposedly lasts 14 days. Now I got it this afternoon and 8 hours later of wearing it, the battery health is at the same percentage. So I believe it so far. This is a huge upgrade.What I dislike:-So apparently you need a cuff to measure your baseline blood pressure. I had no idea about this. Once you get into the blood pressure feature, it tells you to put a cuff on. What cuff? Was it supposed to come with this? Am I supposed to just have one handy? Where’s the directions for this?-So as a previous customer, I already bought a water resistant band that fits the 4.0. Now that band does not fit the newer versions. And what is hilarious, is that the old band is about 1mm too thick for the new whoop, so it won’t fit. No design change, exact same style, just 1mm thicker. Why do they do this? It’s obviously so that you’ll have to buy a new band and they can make more money. They could have made it 1mm thinner to help their already loyal paying customers. Not even Apple, the king of ecosystem trapping, does this. Their Apple Watch bands fit all generations.-On top of this, Whoop once promised a free upgrade to their loyal customers (check out online articles), then decided to charge an upgrade fee or yearly membership instead of the free upgrade. Now I know they don’t stick to their word, which is making me skeptical whoop will change their plans down the road, whether that be pricing, features, etc. So, I’ll definitely think twice before renewing my membership.I want whoop to make more money and I want them to succeed. I like what they are doing and I like their app and hardware.My advice to whoop is to sacrifice short term costs for long term subscriptions. You should stick to the original free upgrade plan (and just make the hardware in general be very low cost) because then it would force users to gift their old whoop to someone, which a percentage will then subscribe. Now, users will think twice to upgrade. Your app is the reason your customers love your product and the bulk of margin is probably in the subscription. So maximize lifetime subscriptions. Doing moves that infuriate your customers, such as incompatible previous bands and misleading free upgrades will cause loyalty drop off.
