Fitness and health tech brand Whoop just took wearables to the next level with the launch of the Whoop 5.0 and Whoop MG. These new devices come packed with cutting-edge health-monitoring features, including blood pressure insights, an ECG/heart screener, hormonal insights, and more. The best is that they’re a lot smaller than their predecessors, offering a sleeker design. 

Whoop 5.0 and Whoop MG Features 

The Whoop 5.0 is designed to help users track sleep, recovery, strain, and stress in real-time with upgraded sensors. It has also got a new haptic alarm to help wake you up gently. The main new highlight and game-changer is the Whoop MG, which includes FDA-cleared ECG/Heart Screening tech and blood pressure monitoring which are usually only seen in medical-grade devices.

Whoop has made these wearables with 24/7 use in mind. The bands are made from premium Italian leather and come in a variety of sizes and colours. These upgrades don’t stop there here as the new Whoop 5.0 and Whoop MG are designed to be more than just fitness trackers. The new wearables are about providing deeper insights about health as it estimates your physiological age. The hormonal insights are great for women that track your menstrual cycle and hormonal health.

Battery Life & Performance

The Whoop 5.0 and Whoop MG offer an impressive 14+ days of battery life. That’s a solid upgrade for anyone used to the traditional one or two-day battery life on most fitness trackers. Whoop has also launched a new line of accessories, including the SuperKnit, SportFlex, and CoreKnit bands that are perfect for health nerds and athletes.

The new wearables go beyond fitness tracking as these bands also allow users to schedule blood tests through Whoop’s upcoming Advanced Labs feature. This will provide more personalised guidance based on cardiovascular, metabolic, hormonal, and immune health data, directly from the app.

Pricing and Membership Plans

Access to the Whoop 5.0 and Whoop MG is available via Whoop’s paid membership programs. The Whoop One plan starts at $199, Whoop Peak at $239 and the most advanced Whoop Life is priced at $359.

As for the Whoop brand’s growing popularity, it’s clear they’re becoming a top choice for athletes. Global ambassador Cristiano Ronaldo is a key investor, and other athletes like Virat Kohli and LeBron James have also been spotted using Whoop.
