Why I'm Throwing My Whoop In The Trash

- I've been tracking my sleep every day for 5 years and although I love my Oura ring, it's pretty useless when it comes to fitness.
With so many of my friends swearing by the Whoop 4.0 and telling me how much they love it, I thought this might be the all-encompassing device I've been searching for.
But after using and wearing it for the past a year, I've decided to cancel my subscription and throw it in the trash.
Watch this video to find out why.

do you any of you know of an accurate sleep/fitness tracker that you'd reccomend? I'm on the hunt
Just bought yesterday Ultrahuman air. Testing it
@@Asiant77 nice got another video coming out soon about it
Hey there, I was in a similar position a year ago and switched from Oura to the Polar 3 Ignite watch. I tracked with both for around 6 months and found the Polar matching the Oura readings. All in one and looks good, too. Maybe that helps.
@@minimalistbiohacker4905 awesome i'll check it out!
Any usb-c cable charges the puck. I lost my original cable over 1 year ago.
Check the quantified scientist regarding a recent firmware update, which significantly improves the hr accuracy.
you should throw that shirt in the trash lol
this is the densest video. 1 & 2: this sounds like a you problem. 3 & 4: incorrect - both these are false. 5; you smell, this is a you problem, maintain good personal hygiene. 6
1. Charger is USB c. You will not have to purchase another charger as you likely have one.
2. Whoop does have a strain score for Strength Training workouts that accounts for the lower HR.
3. My Wife and I have had our bands for 2+ years, no smell and extremely sturdy.
4. Whoop tells you your "restorative sleep" calculating REM and Deep. They don't try to hide the fact that your sleep percentage is based on total time.
1) mostly talking about puck
2) doesn’t work well and can only do their programmed workouts
3) I use the sauna every day so yeah that’s what it says about me
4) it should be factored into overall sleep score, dumb that it doesn’t
@@wellnessdaddy1) just don’t lose it. Can’t hate on a product because you might lose it.
2) doesn’t work the best, but you can input your own workout
3) null
4) agreed
Nothing about whoop is special it’s a heart rate tracker… and it’s not accurate
@@MattBeckwith-ke5pi Can't hate because you might lose it, definitely can hate because a device that is supposed to be a bracelet has an extremely shitty locking system. The price per month is absolutely insane based on how little they offer, and how they won't track standard fitness data (such as steps).
@@picdu2891 meh, must not have read my comment too well
Hate if you want…. Or here me out… just don’t buy it and stop watching videos about it. Pretend it doesn’t exist. Tadaaaaa
This video lost credibility after complaining about the charger. How is this different to any other device?
If smells so bad buy a new strap, why are you even letting it getvso bad
If the products free make it good? Make that make sense.
Whoop is great for the audience its aimed at. It's not for everyone. Like the Apple watch, great for apple users, crap for android users lol
Has this guy never seen a usb-c cable before?
the puck my guy, that's the real problem
Congrats on missing the point!
@@critamine haha thank you!
Unfortunately Whoop does not let people cancel subscriptions that have gone past 30 day trial 😢.
That's the reason why it's 30 days and not 45 day. Check your calendar and stop finding the mistakes somewhere else lol
@@chrbr5768I'm replying to the fact you can't simply return the device as some think. It's a year subscription, even if paid monthly.
@@chrbr5768im replying to the fact the subscription is yearly and cant be refunded, despite being paid monthly. Some people are confused by this.
@@danielconnelly6749 I know that but they also tell this on their website
So...I´m using whoop for a few years now (started with the 3rd Gen Wristband) and it definitely has it´s pro´s and con´s.
But so does pretty much everything. There´s no "one fit´s all" in my oppinion.
But I have to give my 2cents to some pints you made in the vid.
1. You have to buy new Bands because they get dirty/disgusting
Sure you have to, but so you do if you are using a smartwatch or pretty much any fabric thats close to your body.
Even these rubber-wristbands of the smartwatches get absolutely disgusting and you have to buy a new one.
And if I´m looking at the prices for 90% of fitness tracking devices, the device itself costs you anything between 300€ and more (living in
europe so can´t speak for amerika). Sure the monthly plan isn´t the cheapest and you have to count that in as well,but for the data it
provides you, I think its a fair price and they are constantly working and improving the software and the devices, so in my oppinion, that
price is okay.
2. Broken wristband
Sure it shouldn´t happen but I´ve made the experience, that whoop is super quick and costumer friendly in handling such cases.
My wristband broke after 6 weeks of normal usage and after some e-mails I´ve got a new wristband sent to me for free.
Don´t know if you tried that, just wanted to throw that out there.
3. The point of your friend - whoop is overwhelming sometimes
Well I do agree to a degree. Yes if you go through every single number it CAN provide you with, it gets overwhelming.
But to be honest, I got that device to track my health/fitness/sleep. I wouldn´t be paying the monthly price if it would give me any less data.
So it´s basically just about what you look at/ what you take or want. If you want only basic stuff I´d recommend everyone to get a smartwatch.
But that´s pretty much what he recommended anyway with the apple watch.
4. Charging
I´m definitively on your side with that one. I´d love to be able to charge the whoop itself without the battery pack.
But I´ve never managed to lose mine, so that´s not a point I can really say anything about. I forgot to bring it with me, that definitively,
but I´ve never lost one. But yeah, "direct" charge for the whoop would be great, even if it would be via wireless charging.
Thanks for the video, loved the pace and quality of it!
So I have a Whoop, and have the same struggles with it. Ive also had the Oura ring and liked it, except for the lack of fitness part. I have an AW Ultra and the Athlytic app, but my HUGE issue with Athlytic is that that it doesn't factor your sleep into your recover score. it literally says that in the app. Supposedly the reason being is that you could only sleep for 5 hrs, but have a really good HRV so you're good to push it. However, as an amateur athlete, I truly feel that sleep, both duration and quality are really what drive recovery on a day to day basis. HRV is a nice trend to see over time, and if you could be overtraining, but I really don't believe it has that it has the same impact that sleep has on whether or not your are recovered. This is the big problem that I have with Whoop and to and extent the Oura ring. Whoop definitely prioritizes your daily HRV value over sleep. Three days ago, I slept 6hrs, but had a slightly elevated HRV so I got a Green Recovery, but Im not gonna lie, I was exhausted and could barely turn the pedals. The next day was red, because I had a couple beers, but I slept 7.5hrs (I know alcohol is bad), but I actually felt great all day. Then today I slept 9hrs, but had a low HRV maybe because I'm at altitude and in a very dry climate, and was back down to yellow, but barely above Red. I went out for a 10k Tempo run and felt amazing. I also have a Garmin FR955 and honestly I think the data is the most accurate to how I feel, though the app is a little lackluster. I really want a device or app that prioritizes sleep for recovery and just gives the HRV for trend purposes to see if I'm getting sick or overtraining.
Try Bevel for the AW 😀
Whoop data is not accurate. I have use it and the sleep tracker is horrible, 2h difference of the time I woke up, is just going with the HR and guessing, completely waste of money. If it worked , it would be different.
please also throw away your torn t-shirt, it smells bad
Lawl
Made some good points here. The weight lifting part is a big issue for me. I also like that my Garmin doesn't need a phone nearby to function.
Just buy a Garmin 965 It has suggests daily runs and you can use it for Strength Training. It has everything you need.
I’ll check it out, how is the sleep accuracy?
Garmin sleep tracking pales in comparison to Oura.
@@wellnessdaddyIt great with sleep. Just buy it. Trust me you will be happy with it
@@wellnessdaddy "It's great with sleep. Just buy it. Trust me, you will be happy with it.
@@CabinDweller9 damn
Garmin has been the best I've experienced so far.
I need to look into these
And although I generally agree that there are good alternatives to Whoop, I have to point out a few things.
First. Cable length. Seriously? It's 2024, and you probably have a dozen USB-C cables lying around at home. If this one is too short, use another one.
Second. The fact that you don't wash your strap says more about you than it does about the strap. I wash mine regularly, and it doesn't smell at all.
Third. Apple Watch doesn't take pulse and HRV measurements every second. Even with Afib History enabled, the number of measurements-and thus the relevance and accuracy of the data-might be significantly worse.
And fourth. Athlytic can't work with HRV RMSSD.
It’s not about the cable, it’s mostly about the puck
I use the sauna every day, that’s what it says about me
You can use the breath setting on Apple Watch to accurate hrv readings
bro, your t-shirt is torn
lol yes
I'm waiting for the Apple ring
that'll be sick!
Useful and realistic content... As I mentioned, we believe in the idea, but the current information does not support it, also because the technology isn't available yet.👍
thank you
Maybe save money and buy a new shirt. Whoop is great.
The fact I got a Whoop ad before this video hahahaha 😂
lawl
The fact I got my whoop today…
@zedslimes ouch
Personally I'm really enjoying the Amazfit balance at the moment. More accurate than Garmin in terms of HR but has a pretty similar set of recovery tracking that Garmin is going for. Also I have an android phone so Apple watch is out of the picture for the moment. Thanks for the review
Thanks for sharing
Great video until Athlytic was suggested 😩 It’s not that accurate.
Since this isn't a stand alone product, which so many upsells. Subscriptions etc
Damn, hot take to go Apple Watch over whoop but I’m open
I’ve lost 3 Oura rings at $350 a piece and the whoop is what I was thinking till I went Garmin Watch
What’s your take on Garmin Watch for sleep tracking vs the Apple Watch?
apple watch is much more accurate
9:52 oh hi there i love that team
the best ;)
Throw away that t-shirt too 😜
when are you going to release the Ultrahuman ring review?
probably next week
Have you tested the Ultrahuman ring yet?
Yes video coming soon ;)
So dramatic
Great review Kyle. I was considering a Whoop because my Oura broke. I’m going to get the UltraHuman ring
Glad you found it helpful mark!
Not sure if you could promote more affilate links if you tried
i don't have an affiliate link in this video?
Give me this
I sold mine on reddit!
It had 9 months of script left
Got $175 for it
Its the WORST tracker ever
sounds for me like 1st world problems, buy it or dont buy it. Everyone can do research and then decide if its fits thyre needs or not :) In my opinion whoop is a good alternative to change habits not to monitorize everything perfekt. I got you on the high price but 30/m is cheaper then most people spend on smoking or something else. otherwise nice video, keep going brother much love :D
oh no!
Ha
This review is just pro aura ring. You have excellent videos this one was just unacceptable and biased.
