As promised in the previous comparison - Three months with WHOOP MG 5.0, Oura 4, Polar365/Loop, Garmin Instinct 3, Helio strap - here’s the follow‑up focused on half‑marathon heart‑rate measurement.

I also incorporated feedback from the last post; this time I included the Polar H10 as a reference

Whoop ticked me off with their 5.0/MG shenanigans so I decided to go all-in on Apple. This thing is gorgeous - and doesn’t look nearly as unwieldy on my (female) wrist as I thought it might!!

That’s crazy how Apple has changed the size of the Apple Watch, even introducing a gigantic model, and the bands they introduced over 10 years ago still work! Changing the “form factor” is a poor excuse. Whoop has a few sensors but overall the most important one is the optical HR one, and this was n

Just got my Whoop 5.0 MG. Hoping to be younger on my Whoop Age than my actual age. Disappointed but not really surprised. i’m 76.4, 3.4 years more than I actually am. Not all bad news.

I care more about the software side of the product than the availability of replacement bands. There are enough third party

As the title implies - upgraded from a 4.0 and man, I couldn't imagine going back, just because of the battery life alone. Sure, not happy about the price but jeez, if you're okay with the commitment it's really a generational leap, not sure how they managed it. Lifespan etc is cool and all, but the
