The Whoop 5.0 Is Here for Your Health and Longevity: What's New?
Whoop, CNET's favorite sleep tracker, just announced that it launched not one but two new devices: the Whoop 5.0 and Whoop MG (aka medical grade). With these current models, the company has also unveiled new membership tiers and a host of new health, longevity and fitness features.
Whoop 5.0 vs 4.0: what's new?
The Whoop 5.0 now offers 14+ days of battery life on a single charge. For $29, you can purchase a basic charger or grab a wireless powerpack for $49. With the wireless powerpack, consumers have access to a full month of battery life.
Whoop 5.0 can also be worn on multiple locations on the body -- not just the wrist -- for 24/7 tracking. If you find having a wearable on your wrist to be clunky and uncomfortable, this is a game-changer. The 5.0 model is also 7% smaller, per Business Wire, than the 4.0 but delivers 10 times more power efficiency. Updated sensors capture data 26 times per second.
Whoop
With the new Healthspan for users age 18 and older, Whoop measures your "Whoop age" compared to your chronological age and "pace of aging" using nine different health metrics. This gives users insights into how their lifestyle decisions affect their longevity and provides recommendations that help them optimize their health.
Whoop
Hormonal Insights is another fresh feature that assists members in better understanding how their menstrual cycles, hormonal fluctuations and pregnancy impact sleep, recovery, strain and overall well-being. Similar to Healthspan, the feature will also provide actionable insights and recommendations. It is not to be used for birth control or fertility tracking.
Whoop
There has been an update to the Whoop Sleep Score, which gives users a more accurate reflection of their sleep quality so they can better recover. Comprehensive fitness tracking has received a similar upgrade, so members now see their VO₂ Max numbers during fitness tracking and muscular strength during strength training and 145+ supported activities.
The Whoop MG
The Whoop MG has a Heart Screener, which includes an FDA-cleared ECG or electrocardiogram, a test that checks heartbeat. These results can be shared directly with your doctor. The Heart Screener also detects and informs users about possible early warning signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications (IHRN).
Note that this feature is not for people with known arrhythmias other than AFib or those under age 22. It is also not recommended for users with implanted electronic devices such as cardiac pacemakers or ICDs (implantable cardioverter-defibrillators).
Whoop
Currently in beta, Blood Pressure Insights is another new MG feature that offers daily estimates of systolic and diastolic ranges and provides more information about how blood pressure affects well-being.
Whoop Advanced Labs
Whoop has released the waitlist for its new Whoop Advanced Labs in the US, which will allow customers to purchase and schedule a blood test at a nearby location or in their home. Then, in their Whoop app, they'll receive a personalized analysis that allows them to understand what their results mean for their health and what changes they can make. In between tests, you see how your behavior changes impact biomarkers like cholesterol and glucose levels as well as sleep health.
Note that this will be an additional charge not included in your Whoop membership. It is not currently covered by insurance, but the company is working on HSA/FSA eligibility.
New Whoop membership tiers
There are three new Whoop membership tiers: One (for fitness performance), Peak (longevity and health management) and Life (advanced health and heart monitoring). The prices are as follows:
Whoop One: $199/year. Includes the Whoop 5.0.
$199/year. Includes the Whoop 5.0. Whoop Peak: $239/year. Includes the Whoop 5.0.
$239/year. Includes the Whoop 5.0. Whoop Life: $359/year. Includes the Whoop MG.
You can purchase the Whoop 5.0 or MG now here. If you're already a member, you can extend your membership by 12 months to get a free hardware upgrade to the 5.0 with a one-time fee and no changes to your current term. You also have the option to upcycle the Whoop 4.0 to earn credit toward your upgrade or accessories.
