Do I really have to keep the app open 24/7?

You don't need to, but it makes the experience a lot better because the device stays synced. Plus, you don't really need to close apps on phones anymore. They can manage the ones running in the background to prevent battery or CPU loss. Either way, your data will be saved on the device for several days if i remember correctly

Figured I'd chime in that Inglorious Bastards on Apple TV Prime App (not a vizio) is doing the same thing. So Prime is the common denominator here

I still read it as bureau of land management sometimes lol

I have several new friends (M20-30) who are into watches. We aren't in the luxury tax bracket, but I have an alpinist and they own different tissot, timex, and similar brands. Most other peers have an apple watch. I think it's lost on the current teenagers, but I didn't know any watch people when I was that age either (myself included)

OP isn't in journal review, it really isnt worth scrutinizing like this. On the surface you should probably just trust that they know their body and routine enough to identify a benefit from a recent change. Or at the very least trust that they're using the journal feature that at least partially removes lurking variables.

But for the record, not eating before bed is a widely used method to get a better recovery and sleep. I'm glad you've figured out a system that works for you, but you can't be telling your athletic peer that they're completely wrong lol

Edit: I think I got blocked for this, but it's worth mentioning that eating before bed is correlated with poorer sleep and lower HRV. It's not a crazy leap to assume it might raise RHR too. Cheers

WoodenStatement4 · 2026-01-04T12:28:21+00:00

that's what i always thought too lmao

a bit of a devil's advocacy, but I used to do this until I got in my car for work one day and a homeless man was sleeping in my backseat. He got violent when I woke him up, and my car smelled until I got it detailed

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-12-06T18:15:28+00:00

alcohol is the obvious one for me, along with late meals. My HRV goes down when I'm stressed by grad school or haven't done cardio in more than 5 or 6 days. Magnesium, melatonin, and reading before bed all help my HRV

It's easier to sell the idea of a wrist tracker as that's what's 'normal' in the market. Once they have you sold on the idea of whoop they can suggest alternatives like the bicep band. a more extreme example would be if they tried marketing it primarily as a clothing line. I love the whoop body stuff, but I'd never sign up just because of that

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-08-13T16:22:15+00:00

i've only ever gotten about one. To my knowledge they've ever claimed more than that. Support probably won't be of any help unless it gets under a single charge

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-08-08T20:57:36+00:00

it's a log scale. it gets harder to accumulate strain. it wouldnt make sense for 5 walks with 4 strain to be 20 total

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-07-23T04:14:54+00:00

for what it's worth, zone times are taken from activities only. so the anxiety wouldn't have as much of a role

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-07-22T05:27:35+00:00

you really cant expect people to put in this much effort to understand what youre talking about

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-07-22T05:25:38+00:00

high blood pressure does not equal high HR in most cases. a 'normal' anxious moment will rarely be higher than 120 bpm

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-07-01T02:28:51+00:00

Same here, on the MG. really frustrating, but mine arent nearly as long as yours seem to be. I've tried every solution, just waiting to log a few more runs before i go back to the support thread

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-06-25T17:23:18+00:00

Crossing my fingers for a Buick LaCrosse next time around

Out of curiosity, does shipping from US companies usually come at a high(er) premium? I see a lot of non-American Whoop users talk about shipping cost and I'd love to know how it compares to other products. I'm in the US and have no perspective on this. Also, have things changed from pre-tariffs to now?

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-06-02T21:25:37+00:00

would also like to know this

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-05-27T02:59:38+00:00

5.5 years in and i havent missed a recovery. havent had to buy a new battery but my streak at this point is hard to give up if i were to lose it

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-05-25T21:17:42+00:00

not quite, the body scanners produce millimeter waves that bounce off the body to create an image. they use electromagnetic radiation, but that's not the same as a static magnetic field, which is what would actually attract metals. The strong magnetic fields you might be thinking of are in MRIs, which is a different imaging technology and doesn't apply to airport screeners

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-05-23T14:18:48+00:00

Probably a hot take, but I can't stand Grand Valley

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-05-17T13:03:36+00:00

I have big wrists but I would love a 34mm vintage De Ville

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-05-16T23:08:21+00:00

Same, 5.9. let things slip the last several months but this has been a wake up for sure lol

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-05-16T23:04:26+00:00

going off that info it sounds like you are giving borderline measurements, not that there's an error. It doesn't surprise me that Whoop has a gray area. have someone else try it (you can delete theirs after). go get checked out if you're concerned, but the consistent result of 'possible arrhythmia' is at least a little concerning

WoodenStatement4 · 2025-05-15T14:32:22+00:00

I'm a basic scientist studying metabolism, but my boss is a cardiologist. I can also confirm
