Paid, $239

Optimize fitness, sleep, and recovery with real-time health insights.

About

Whoop is a health monitoring wearable focused on delivering in-depth analytics about fitness, recovery, and sleep. Rather than offering a typical smartwatch experience, it provides continuous tracking of biometrics like heart rate, heart rate variability, and exertion levels. All this information is synthesized by an AI-powered coaching system that helps users tailor their training and rest for peak performance.

Sleep tracking goes beyond simple durations, diving into sleep quality and disturbances to help optimize nightly recovery. Athletes and active individuals benefit from the strain coach feature, which advises on daily activity intensity to strike a balance between improvement and prevention of overtraining.

The accompanying mobile app turns complex physiological data into actionable insights, supporting users in making evidence-based decisions for health and performance. The device is unobtrusive, with a long battery life and durability, though all insights are accessed via the smartphone app, keeping distractions to a minimum.
