You can pay annually though

Vaguely recent Garmin products do the same thing, as far as I can tell. No subscription

​@@pierrex3226 Thanks so much! I hadn't heard of Garmin before and they seem to be a much better option compared to the whoop.

@@pierrex3226 Garmin watches are more bulky due to display and buttons. And wearing Garmin watch means you can't wear regular watch. The fact of zero display is exactly my favorite feature of whoop this means I can use it anywhere not necessary just on wrist - for instance on biceps. I also can wear whoop on right hand and watch on left hand and it doesn't look weird as if I'm wearing two watches.

I see some utility if you have some physical condition, like in the heart or something. Also it gives some information on oxygen levels and stuff. But unless you need that info it seems like consumerism to me. And social signaling.

I use a Huawei watch for cycling, and there are some genuinely useful things it tells me. It will tell me how much time I spent with different metabolism (aerobic vs anaerobic), and it will give me a grade for how much of an improvement that particular session has made for me in both metabolic processes, which is important to me since I do sprints. It also measures strain and estimates my recovery time, which I find genuinely useful, along with tracking my speed and route. But by far the most useful thing is actually telling me how long I've slept for, and I'd get the whoop strap for the sleeping metrics. This is because I have sleeping difficulties. :') The point is, my regular watch has all the features that are genuinely useful to me in what I do, so the whoop makes no sense, but sleeping data would be very beneficial to me because I have difficulties, so I think this is only really useful to people who have a genuine need for it :)

I think it is targeted at high performing athletes who care about this data. I wear it and my coach uses the data that uploads to my Training Peaks every day to monitor my recovery and fatigue throughout training blocks. If I wasn't an athlete I would not wear one. I think the regular person should get a smart watch and get way more functionality, but for me this is the best option!

It’s a good way of quantifying your performance, helping you understand the scale of your progress and how much you have to do to progress.

Better to have and not use than need and not have, Sir.

Why steps are important? It's not a good metric.

thats how they generate revenue for their years of R&D and lean scaling

Imagine there were other ways to fund it before. Now it’s just pay per minute of your content-rich life. Hate it

You don't pay for the watch, though. It's around £230 outright for a 12 month membership (free watch) and as long as you're a member you get the newest watch free as well. It's like having a phone contract, I guess.

Say no to one eating in a restaurant a month and replace it with 30 dollar whoop sub

@@appek3117 I’m not doing subscriptions for devices. I want to buy it and own it. I’m glad Apple announced quite a few Apple Watch features that overlap with Whoop. I could own an Apple Watch and not pay a subscription.

The Whoop battery lasts way longer than the apple watch. I really don't like having to charge my apple watch every day. I will never upgrade because the battery life makes the sleep features the newer apple watch models have obsolete.

The video showed the option to buy the bicep band. Makes sense as the circumference of the bicep is much larger than the wrist.

Fold 4

How and why should it be possible

Yeah it also counts your micro nutrients and it tells you how many more chicken breast you need to hit your daily intake goals.

30 bucks is not in addition to buying, it‘s instead of it. Yearly plan is 22 a month.

You don't buy the whoop.

You don't buy the product

Commenting when you literally don’t know what you’re talking about 💀💀💀

Do you work there? lol this was a very raving review

@@mattb2906 no, not at all. I did not even know what they were until a gym in which was a client of mine started using the product after they were given a few subscriptions by WHOOP. We all got one month free, after that, we had a decision, whether to keep it or not. I was hooked, absolutely have been buying it every single month since, the product, and the data is far too valuable in my daily life.

It does take all measurements without internet though, it just synchronizes them later so you can look at the app only with internet i guess. For long hikes without internet this might be annoying but if your phone dies or you dont have internet for a couple hours it still tracks everything. Been wearing it for half a month only though ^^

@@levivonkalben5361 yeah, it make sense now. thanks for clarifying

I disagree, I got one, decided it was expensive and never renewed it. Since then I have tried cheap watchs and expensive ones including Garmin and Fitbit and none have been no where near as accurate. It also works with tattoos which many devices don't as the ink can block the light the device uses to track your metrics. Am going back to them, really wish it just showed the time but it's not a deal breaker for me.

Excuse me, sir, what does 'blow your dad' means?

@@mikhaelmacherkevich6201 it's a Bo Burnham song, "I'll blow my dad before I eat a burrito with a fork"

@@pierrex3226 Thanks :)

I'm dying lmao 🤣 😂

The forerunner 965 is 600+ dollars

Even paying a subscription with whoop a year, it’s less expensive than the garmin

@@jllariva Well. Why would you wear a garmin for less than a year?

@@velosoph02 touché

if you have seen the data studies the whoop compared to garmin, apple etc, the whoop has the most accurate results

thx

Because steps truly have no impact on your physical health. Steps would be tracked via strain, which is automatically calculated into your personal algorithm for your body. Steps are virtually worthless in the sense of knowing what they are doing for you. This is far more in depth,and if you want something to track your steps, then obviously you have the ability to wear something else. Knowing you walked 10,000 steps today doesn’t tell me where my body is in the sense of physical strain for that day.

@@youcreateyourownstory he is pointing out the irony as the video opens with "whoop is more then a step counter"
