Bands Series

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’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.

"Device on arm tells me that body that feels like shit is indeed shit." Thats what I tell everybody about whoop. Its pretty cool but it just confirms how my body feels.

I used it for a whole year, it was fun and useful, It did make me learn about myself and sleep pattern. But then some accuracy issues and the fact wearing 24/7 got to my head. Now I am back to Apple watch for steps counting.

By the time I stopped using it, it was BETA and Whoop 4.0. It wasnt accurate at all, increases while im driving the car. I dont know how it performs now. But lets its assume its perfect, i no longer want to wear something 24/7. I wear apple watch for the specific physical activity/stopwatch/timer, and sometimes its a good accessory for casual fashion.
