WHOOP Unveils WHOOP 5.0 and WHOOP MG: Powerful New Devices with Breakthrough Health and Longevity Features

WHOOP, the human performance company, today introduces WHOOP 5.0 and WHOOP MG — two next-generation wearables designed to unlock a new approach to personal health and longevity. Paired with a redesigned WHOOP experience, the devices offer 14-day battery life in a sleeker, seven percent smaller form – and introduce category-defining features, including Healthspan with WHOOP Age, Heart Screener with on-demand ECG, Blood Pressure Insights, and more.

These innovations arrive at a pivotal moment when ailing health systems cost more and deliver less. WHOOP is advancing a new solution and a better way – one that empowers people to connect their daily decisions to performance and health outcomes that can be measured and felt. While others track surface-level trends, WHOOP delivers longevity through depth — translating the body’s most vital signals into guidance that extends healthspan, not just lifespan.

“This isn’t just a product launch. It’s a new chapter for WHOOP and for our members,” said Will Ahmed, WHOOP Founder & CEO. “We’ve taken everything we’ve learned over the past decade and built a platform to help our members perform and live at their peak for longer. We’ve held nothing back.”

NEW HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE IN-APP FEATURES:

 

  • Healthspan with WHOOP Age: Get insights and guidance on how your daily habits impact your long-term health with Healthspan – a powerful new way to quantify your physiological age and slow your Pace of Aging. Developed in partnership with Dr. Eric Verdin, CEO of the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, Healthspan uses nine different metrics linked to long-term health to calculate your WHOOP Age and Pace of Aging.

 

  • Heart Screener with ECG: Your heart, in your hands. WHOOP now includes an FDA-cleared ECG feature that allows a reading to be taken anytime, from your wrist — and shared directly with a healthcare provider. The Heart Screener detects signs of Atrial Fibrillation (Afib), a leading cause of stroke, and provides Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications (IHRN) for greater peace of mind.
  • Blood Pressure Insights: A patent-pending technology that delivers daily blood pressure insights, right from your wrist. Get estimated systolic and diastolic readings, and learn about how blood pressure affects wellbeing and performance.
  • Women’s Hormonal Insights: WHOOP goes beyond cycle tracking to deliver science-backed education and personalized insights on how hormonal shifts influence recovery, sleep, stress and performance. Whether you’re navigating menstruation, pregnancy, or perimenopause — WHOOP adapts with you.
  • Sleep Performance Update: Unlock better nights and better days. The reimagined Sleep Score delivers a more accurate reflection of sleep quality, helping members recover more effectively and show up stronger each day.
  • WHOOP Advanced Labs: Join the waitlist for the next evolution in personalized health. Coming soon, WHOOP Advanced Labs will allow members to schedule blood tests and receive clinician reports that are integrated directly into the WHOOP app, creating a more comprehensive picture of your health — and giving you actionable steps to improve it.
  • Comprehensive Fitness Tracking: From daily steps and VO₂ Max to Muscular Strain during strength training and 145+ supported activities, members can now optimize fitness for both performance and long-term health outcomes.

HARDWARE, REIMAGINED FOR PERFORMANCE AND PRECISION: 

  • Precision Sensors. Smaller Design. Greater Power: WHOOP 5.0 and MG pack more technology into a seven percent smaller form factor. Enhanced sensors capture data 26 times per second, while a redesigned processor delivers 10x more power efficiency — enabling richer insights without sacrificing battery life or comfort.
  • 14+ Day Battery Life. New Wireless PowerPack: 14+ days per charge across WHOOP 5.0 and MG hardware. Now, members with their device alongside the new Wireless Powerpack have access to a full month of battery life.
  • Elevated Accessories: Complete the experience with a new line of WHOOP accessories — including the new LeatherLuxe, crafted from genuine Italian leather for our most premium look and feel yet.
  • 24/7 Wearability: WHOOP remains the only wearable that’s truly wearable — designed for 24/7 use across multiple locations on the body. Powered by WHOOP Body and AnyWear™ technology, our technical garments seamlessly integrate with your device to capture data with unmatched precision — no matter your sport, lifestyle or movement.
  • Medical-Grade ECG: Available exclusively on WHOOP MG, maintain peace of mind with medical-grade ECG readings you can do from the comfort of home. Simply place your thumb and index finger on the ECG-conductive clasp, and get a medical-grade reading in seconds.

CHOOSE YOUR EXPERIENCE:

To make these innovations even more accessible, WHOOP is also introducing three new membership tiers. These tiers empower WHOOP members to choose the hardware device, features and pricing that make the most sense for them:

I’m happy to be part of this company, and the launch of the WHOOP 5.0 and MG.”

Review – Withings Move ECG. #Withings #Tech #Health

When it comes to watches I am a bit of a collector along with my phones and other things but now I am more focused on technology products I do own several smartwatches or hybrids and it is nice to have the option to switch over, But I am one to keep wearing the latest on offer and when you look back you can see how things progress from the past when it comes to features and more.

The Withings Move is no different here than any other watch but does stand out and looks really nice and minimalist looking yet people ask me what does it actually do compared to others you have had.. This is because there is no actual digital display or anything to give it away that it is a much more capable watch despite on how it looks.

The box is a familiar sight and so is the watch and if you cast your mind back to the Nokia Steel which is still own and again like before it looks minimalist thought this time around the packaging is more eco friendly which many companies are headed now which is a good thing considering the climate change issue we have and it does need to be addressed..

The build is quite good and should last some years, I have my Nokia Steel still and it is as new but this has a plastic face and this happened which is not great and to note my previous versions have not a mark on them and this would annoy anyone, down to clumsiness perhaps but a light scratch off a bench……..These things happen in life..

Looking at the watch as a timepeice it just tells the time and little else bar your progress level,there is no option at all to see it in the dark as mentioned in my Nokia steel review the tips on the hands should be illuminated at least. In comparison to the  WITHINGS MULTI SPORT  which I love,this has something to look at with a window on top offering information on the fly and can be used to get information on notifications and calls etc but this is the cheaper model so you have to consider this but coming from the higher end model down to this you do miss the information on screen..

Battery life on this is excellent,One thing that puts me off smartwatches is having to charge every night and this is not the case here, In fact the battery life at times has excelled past the claim time on several occasions but this could down to my personal use I take my watch off at night and leave it off most weekends as I wind down from technology but not for the first few weeks testing this so for me the battery is stellar.

Whilst the watch itself may lack in the looks department for some it is the app that is where you get all the information at hand,the app has not changed much is simple to use and understand and also customise at the same time making it s fluid experience. The watch does more than you might think via the app tracking multiple sports and more

The App

1 / 13

Having a companion device for some is a bit much but this is different and cost effective keeping tabs on your activities and compared to others out there this is on the cheap side if you are looking to get into having a companion device, On the face of it the watch as mentioned does not look like it does much and to the general concerning eye they would ask what can this do that a normal watch cant but tell the time it is what you get via the app with all the vital information.

Honestly I like watches with something more going on with the face but having said that I do have a collection of minimalist watches too that just look good even if they just tell the time yet there is more to this when you can have some kind of physical action with it to take your pulse for example by squeezing each side of the watch you can take your ECG which is neat and takes just 30 seconds to get a reading, Now when have you seen that as a feature on a watch that looks like it does nothing Also you can take your Pulse using the phones camera too which is also neat.

Overall if you want an affordable companion device this that will not break the bank this is one to look at for sure and it comes in two colours and a choice of strap colours and offers more than one might think with great extras,thought more so app focused if you are new to such it looks good and minimalist but offers great value and is highly accurate bar the sleep tracking which I found giving random results though I am not a good sleeper anyway this is what you need, It will automatically track walking, running, swimming and detects 30+ activities, plus workout mode, stair climbing & connected GPS Automatically tracks walk, run, swim and biking. You get plenty for your money here whilst depending on how you like how your watch looks it looks good on you too..
