Whoop 4.0 review

New sensors make the Whoop better than ever – but only fitness enthusiasts should buy one

Lots of health data ; Big focus on recovery ; Very comfortable ; Useful ‘always-on’ charging

No screen ; No smartwatch features ; Very basic design ; Only for those serious about fitness

Whoop 4.0 review: a diehard fitness tracker for people who like pushing their limits

The Whoop 4.0 is better, bolder and more capable than its predecessor but only people who work out often will benefit from using it

Comfortable enough to wear 24/7 ; Tracks heart rate and strain accurately ; Sleep tracking is excellent ; Health Monitor overview is useful and easy to understand

Doesn’t track basic stats (e.g. steps) ; Membership costs can stack up ; Still not the most precise when worn on the wrist

The Whoop 4.0 is the perfect fitness tracker in the sense that it actually tracks your fitness level instead of monitoring arbitrary health stats such as steps and water consumption. However, especially because of its hardcore nature, it might only be...

Whoop 4.0 review: The wearable that's all about recovery

Just don't call it a fitness tracker.

Easy to sleep with ; Lots of data in the app ; Compact design

Battery life isn't great ; Subscription expensive compared to rival systems ; Not really a fitness tracker

Whoop blends into the background, a lifestyle coach designed to feedback on your rest and recovery, guide you to better sleep habits and to make better choices. It's not a replacement for a smartwatch or a fitness tracker, but for those wanting...

Whoop 4.0 review

This fitness strap is good at what it does but requires a subscription meaning more casual users may well be put off

Lightweight ; Multi-day battery ; Deep data insights

Requires expensive subscription ; Only measures strain and recovery ; Not much guidance

The Whoop 4.0 is unobtrusive and provides interesting fitness data after about a month of use, but it doesn’t give enough guidance to justify the expensive subscription plan.

Whoop 4.0 review: more whimper than whoop

The Whoop 4.0 isn't a smartwatch or a Fitbit; it's something quite different, right down to the way you pay to own it. Is it a better device for it?

Comfortable to wear 24/7 Informative health data Motivational Strain metric No notifications

Awkward, slow charging system Monthly charge makes it expensive Automatic workout tracking isn't customizable

“Comfortable, competent, and motivational, the Whoop 4.0 is a great distraction-free fitness tracker, but it doesn't standout against the competition, so fails to justify its high price.”

Whoop 4.0 review: Screenless wearable helps you avoid injuries, track sleep details | ZDNet

The Whoop 4.0 is much more than a detailed sleep tracker, and people who work out regularly will see more benefits than those who lead a sedentary life. It's a great way to understand your body and optimize your workout regimen.

Very comfortable for 24/7 wear ; Detailed sleep tracking ; Informative coaching ; Unique battery pack system ; Affordable ; Useful clothing options

Battery life could be longer ; No support for importing GPS data

Whoop 4.0 Review: The World's Smartest Fitness Tracker

The Whoop 4.0 fitness tracker does a lot of things differently - from the cost model to the operation. We tested the tracker for you.

It can be worn in various ways ; Comprehensive analysis functions ; ChatGPT's integration is more than just a toy ; Accurate stress analysis ; No display

In 2023, Whoop has impressively revitalized its two-year-old fitness tracker, the Whoop 4.0. This device continues to provide a wealth of data on your workouts, sleep patterns, and various habits. However, it now goes beyond merely compiling results...

WHOOP 4.0 review: train like the pros

In this review I turn my focus to Whoop 4.0. The wearable helps you better understand your body and how to properly recover.

Teaches you about proper recovery ; Sensors collect five health metrics 100 times per second ; Low-profile design, comfortable to wear ; Predictive analysis ; Re-charge without taking off

Requires monthly subscription ; Doesn't support 3rd party HR chest straps ; Charging needs to be done every 4-5 days
