- Whoop launches a new hardware for the first time since 2021
- He has presented his new Whoop 5.0 and Whoop Mg Wearables
- Both have the 14 -day battery life, ECG, blood pressure monitoring and more
Whoop has announced two new wearables and a new subscription price structure, since the company announces its first new hardware since 2021.
The 5.0 Whoop and the WHOOP MG are elegant portable devices with a 14 -day battery life, ECG and even blood pressure estimates.
The CEO and Whoop founder, Will Ahmed, said the measure was not only a product launch, but “a new chapter for Whoop and our members.”
A new Whoop Healthspan characteristic with ‘Whoop Age’ gives you an idea of how your daily habits affect your long -term health, quantifying your physiological age using nine metrics to provide data that can delay your aging rhythm. It sounds similar to the fitness age metric or ‘metabolic age’ used by the best Garmin watches and some of the best fitness trackers.
The new ECG approved by the FDA allows you to take a reading at any time from your wrist and share it with your medical care provider, with a cardiac screen tool that can detect signs of atrial fibrillation and provide irregular heart rate notifications.
A holder are the ideas of blood pressure, with a new patent technology that can offer daily information with estimated systolic (the first issue in a reading of blood pressure) and diastolic readings (the second number).
There is also support for the hormonal ideas of women, sleep performance and a new sleep score, and the innumerable innumerable of health monitoring characteristics.
Whoop 5.0 and Mg: Explained
To understand the difference between WHOOP 5.0 and WHOOP MG devices, you must understand the new Whoop subscription structure. This is because the devices are free with each plan, but the amount you pay will determine which model you get.
Perhaps more atrociously, some standard 5.0 features are not available at the cheapest level.
- Whoop one: The cheapest level, it is said that it contains ‘professional physical information at our best price’ to £ 169 / $ 199 / au $ 299 per year
- Peak Whoop: It is said that it contains ‘advanced health, fitness and longevity information designed to help you perform in its peak, longer’ with a longer price of £ 229 / $ 239 / au $ / 419 per year
- WHOOP LIFE: Described as’ the most powerful Whoop in history, delivering information on health and medical degree performance at a price of £ 349 / $ 359 / au $ 629 per year
The WHOOP MG (MG represents ‘Medical grade’) presents the detection knowledge, ECG and the aforementioned blood pressure. The MG is only available in Whoop Life, the most expensive level.
The 5.0 Whoop does not include those medical characteristics and comes with the Whop One or Whoop Peak memberships, the two cheapest level options.
Whoop told Techradar that the Whoop One membership gives him access to central metrics such as tension, recovery, sleep, vo2 max, heart rate areas, steps and more. It also includes a strength coach and recovery metrics, as well as sleep monitoring. In Whoop One, you get the Whoop 5.0 and a basic charger, as well as a Coreknit band.
WHOOP PEAK gives you Whoop 5.0, but with more characteristics. Includes Health Monitor and Stress Monitor, which allows you to see if your vital ones are out of range. Peak also gives HealthSpan with Whoop Age, and you get wireless powerpack and a better Superknit band. There is no hardware difference between Whoop Peak and Whoop One: it simply blocks additional characteristics behind an additional payment wall, such as Fitbit Premium.
As noted, Whoop Life is the most expensive level and gets the most premium MG with the mentioned medical health characteristics. He gets an even more premium band and a wireless powerpack for his device.
Analysis: Risk reaction to the reaction?
In a wearable market where even the Subscription of $ 6 Connect+ de Garmin has encountered the protest of users, Whoop customers who have been waiting for these new devices could be disappointed by the fact that Whoop is reserving the best characteristics of their devices for their most expensive subscription levels.
The WHOOP MG is at least one separate device in principle, but buying a 5.0 Whoop in the cheapest plan, just to lose some ubiquitous features to the best smart watches in the market, it is a pill difficult to swallow.
