5.0 MG

Eh, I’m not so sure honestly. Everything is so interconnected now. Take Whoop for example - Whoop uses AWS for their servers - in most AWS cloud services contracts there are clauses in there that outline data usage (AWS and Amazon can basically get unfettered access to the data from Whoop and use it for “product improvement and reporting”). So even with the product that we all presumably have, that data is out there and accessible by Amazon, even if indirectly via AWS.

I am receiving my Whoop Mg today, after wearing the trial one for 20 or so days. I'm under no illusion that it's a full on medical device, however understanding the info displayed based on my daily activities has been a great experience. I can't fathom sleeping with a giant apple watch on my wrist. It took a little bit for me to get used to wearing the whoop band to sleep.. i'm used to it now and it's really not too bad.

I’m not one of the haters, and it’s helped me a lot, but I’m not going to renew once my membership is up. The MG in particular is not worth the price in the slightest! If it was cheaper, I’d probably renew but there are so many options that are just as good (if not better) for a lot cheaper. All of my friends have now left Whoop for alternatives and none of them regret it. Whoop has served me very well but it’s time for me to move on. It was innovative 3+ years ago, but not anymore.

Idk about easily but yeah if there are screenless trackers with no subscription and actually good UI they definitely have a chance to eat into Whoops space. But so far no one has come close yet. Amazfit is maybe closest but the user experience is not nearly as nice as whoop. The Fitbit app has a long long way to go to get near whoop.

Maybe. Maybe not. The polar loop is a one time $200 and the helio strap is only $100 as well but neither has the software to back it up really. Plus Garmin is coming out with something too at some point. Will whoop lower prices or will they try to differentiate on features? Maybe they will lower core prices but push add ons like whoop labs even more aggressively.

got it. am loving my whoop so far. i used helio strap for 1 month, great device, but just prefer the whole whoop app and how the hardware feels on my wrist. im not hard core athlete, play pickleball 2-3times a week.

i personally dont think its nicer than whoop. especially the app. the price point is in no mans land, people can go with helio strap which is even cheaper and provide good value too.

i just keep hearing about accuracy everywhere, but whats the benchmark, even if there is, i think its very very dynamic when we talk about anything related to human. hardware most of the top brands and devices are similar. with some variability 2-5%. but its the software and algo that is the game changer. im going with whoop from usa to lead the pack.
