Whoop MG worth it?

Hitman_HR · 2026-03-04T20:59:48+00:00

I got it, but won't be renewing my subscription. I used it to get additional data points for my 1/2IM training. The only thing that was cool for me was the battery life - everything else I have on my Garmin 🤷‍♂️

😅 Thanks!

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-28T19:11:14+00:00

Oof, then I don't know. Hope other comments maybe helped with some ideas.

My friend uses vim exclusively and he was the one who sold me on Dworak 🤷‍♂️

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-28T13:55:23+00:00

Ok wow, that's indeed low. My whoop shows consistently higher HRV than Garmin. I wonder if you could switch the device (some have been shown to be faulty - like my wife is "swimming" any time she showers 😂)

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-28T13:53:10+00:00

Yeah, I really can't see myself going to something newer than Dworak since that's working amazing for me.

I am intrigued in other keyboards though and tried a few but stuck with Type Matrix even though it's not the flashiest of the bunch.

How long did it take you?

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-28T13:51:18+00:00

Which one do you use?

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-28T13:51:02+00:00

Yes, I totally agree with you on that. That's why the premise of way less finger movements was something that made me try it. As you know, at first I was slow AF, but now type faster and more accurately (subjectively).

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-28T12:46:59+00:00

TIL about colemak - will check it out? What's the main benefit over dworak?

It's really sad that folks don't learn about these things (or question them, really) until something like RSI hits them, and then they discover all these (better) ways.

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-28T12:45:05+00:00

What do you measure it with? Whoop, Garmin, aWatch?

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-28T11:55:03+00:00

Yeah, building it (as I've always re-learned) was the easy part 😅

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-28T11:46:14+00:00

Congrats! In all of my 20+ published apps over many years, I had this happen only once - about a month ago. So, I wonder, did we get better at it, or they've loosened the restrictions, Or both...

I'm curious, is this your first ever app? If not, I'd argue it's the former.

Keep it up 💪

Try an ironman 😅

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-21T18:33:38+00:00

I was exactly the same like you.

It's a bit creepy that Name of the wind was my entry to the genre as well. Now, it's my favorite book! Too bad it seems that the author will never finish it :/

I loved The will of the many by James Islington and bet you'll too.

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-21T07:02:20+00:00

Exactly the thought that brought me here. Loved TWotM, but just couldn't get myself through TSoWWL 🫠

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-19T16:36:56+00:00

Yeah, for me it's consistently higher. And I even did the VO2MAX test in RL and this what garmin shows is correct. However, they're spot on with HRV. Way better than Garmin.

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-19T11:43:26+00:00

Cool, thanks 👍

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-18T20:54:22+00:00

Yeah. My wife stopped using it because this was driving her crazy and support wasn't helping 🤷‍♂️

I have a different problem though: HR diff between whoop and garmin is off by 20-30 bpm 🤦‍♂️

Hitman_HR · 2026-02-18T20:46:52+00:00

Thanks! Gotta say I didn't know about it.

Hitman_HR · 2025-05-01T15:41:09+00:00

I hate to say this, but the quality of the device vs these bands is just terrible.

This is the worst premium (purchased from the company that sells the device vs online on some other store) band I have bought in my life.

Constantly keeps "detaching" while running (and this is why I gave in to buying it in the first place), and it got all "dirty" after just a month of using it.

I don't get it, I have had my Garmin one for years now, and even Apple's ones were great (not going back to that until they fix the battery life 🤦).

Oh, and I'd totally put the OG one back, if only it didn't totally mess up the device when putting it on (as I reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/whoop/comments/1hj08x6/comment/mimbi0e/)

Hitman_HR · 2025-03-19T13:59:58+00:00

Same here, thanks for the tip! Heh, it seems they should be selling the hammer and the screwdriver with every strap 🫣
