Whoop Introduces Version 5.0 and MG Hardware (with Pricing Structure Alterations)
In a thrilling announcement, Whoop has unleashed the long-awaited 5.0 device, complete with the "MG" model boasting ECG capabilities and blood pressure estimates. Tired of the humdrum? Then jump on the bandwagon! Upgrade your Whoop for just $49 via a $199 One membership, or opt for the Peak ($239) and Life ($359) tiers for a smorgasbord of additional perks.
But wait, what's this 5.0 device got that our old bud 4.0 hasn't? Well, Whoop claims it's svelter by 7%, meaning those tried-and-true straps won't pass the trousers fit. Cheers to the "Milestone collection" box with extra bands for long-time users, though!
Speaking of batteries, the 5.0 promises an impressive 14-day lifespan, more than double that of the 4.0. With the Peak and Life tiers, you'll receive the snazzy wireless power pack, while the lowest tier rocks the wired charger.
As for the 5.0 versus MG, the MG edition offers ECG readings and blood pressure estimates, provided you take the time to calibrate it with a blood pressure cuff. And, of course, the MG comes with the Whoop Life membership - the priciest tier.
Now, let's talk about the trio of tiers:- One, a budget-friendly option at $199/year, doling out a wired charger and the bare-bones "CoreKnit" band.- Peak, made for those who already adore Whoop and prefer the familiar $239/year price tag. You'll also receive the Healthspan feature previewing your "fitness age" and "pace of aging," along with recommendations to improve those metrics.- Life, the premium tier at $359/year, bringing all the glitz and glam of the MG device. Sprinkle in the full-blown Healthspan feature, and you've got yourself a heck of a good time.
If you're a current Whoop user desperate for an upgrade, here's the lowdown: fork over another 12 months of membership, and you'll score the latest hardware for free. Got other plans? No worries - cough up a one-time $49 hardware fee and rock the 5.0 on your existing membership term. Swapping your old device to a friend is a cinch with the included sanitizing wipe and fresh SuperKnit band in the gift kit.
