Over the last few months I have been testing out the WHOOP 4.0 and now I am testing out the new WHOOP 5.0 MG and after using the WHOOP 4.0 I can say it has changed me in several ways including habits which I find a good thing and not only that I did wear this to bed for test duration something I never done even with smartwatches and still do not.
I have countless smartwatches that can give me stats on the fly all day long and they are getting better but boring too all doing the same thing however I do use the stats to keep in check but WHOOP has given me more insights than you could imagine with much more than expected even my doctor was impressed with how it works.
I have noticed more and more people wearing WHOOP over the last few months and have actually stopped some and asked how they feel about it and it is all positive bar the price with some, on the price though you can pick a plan just like you can go out and buy a smartwatch at any price tier and get what you pay for.
What is different with WHOOP there is no screen to start with so you are not constantly looking at your wrist all day long like you would with a watch I have taken off my smartwatch much more now trying to escape the notifications given this keeps me off my phone which is the purpose of wearing a watch but at times you just need a detox and no better time than now, also I did compare some factors with several watches to WHOOP to see how consistent it was and it indeed was consistent.
The features on WHOOP 4.0 are a plenty like sports for instance same as a smartwatch however it is the data it delves into that is much deeper than what your traditional smartwatch can give and all the other features that come with it, from selecting activities, recovery, strain and of course sleep activity which is something I always avoid, wearing a watch to bed and I do have a sleep problem but wore this to bed to just see how bad it actually is and it is horrific.
Having passed this info to my doctor he is now going to try help but over the years I have tried everything and nothing worked I have now though on the say so of WHOOP changed my lifestyle in many ways I am less stressed however the sleep issue will be a long term cure I think. You do have a community on WHOOP and a journal which I find handy too and these should be used daily to keep in check if you want to achieve goals.
You can see some results down below of how I got on and now testing the new MG model I will continue to monitor my health and will update again later on but for me with what this offers it is the only tech product that has changed me in several ways and for the better at my age ditching old habits and gaining new ones.
