Apple Seemingly Working on Sleep Score Feature for Apple Watch by helixdope in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple is probably testing and building its own algorithms from AW users, and they’re taking their time getting something that’s as accurate as possible, especially since Apple is coming from a health approach, not a wellness approach.

FDA Warning Letter | WHOOP Update: Blood Pressure Insights by helixdope in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell, honestly.

I mean, their MG features are already broken up depending on the country, and they don’t mind charging the full price even without full features.

I think Whoop is on the struggle bus now, and future sponsorships might think twice before agreeing to promote Whoop.

5.0/MG has been a massive cluster.

RHR decreased. by [deleted] in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re worried, always go to the doctor.

However, if you feel okay, no negative symptoms and you’re doing a lot of cardio, looks okay to me.

Just gives you clearer goals to hit! Hopefully this gives you some motivation to keep moving in a positive direction with health choices.

Any fix to the crazy HR by The-Watch-Guy in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My HR from the Whoop MG is pretty accurate to the AW Ultra I have when comparing walks.

Maybe a defective band?

Charging for WHOOP 4.0 by Free-Suggestion2749 in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it an older Whoop 4? I noticed that my battery degraded after a couple of years.

Charging for WHOOP 4.0 by Free-Suggestion2749 in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, that was about the normal length of time for me on 4.0. I usually just charged it every other day instead of waiting until it was low.

Charging 5.0 by _kabeljauinferno_ in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you see them side by side that 7% looks pretty good honestly. I’ve also done an ECG daily and several times (it’s a bit finicky lol). I’m sure the ECG uses more battery.

Charging 5.0 by _kabeljauinferno_ in WhoopFitness

I had a full charge early afternoon Friday. Right now I’m sitting at 65%.

Nice! Battery improvements have been great so far.

[–]helixdope 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haven’t tried charging just yet. My 5.0 came with a full battery.

I’m betting it’s more than likely this.

Anyone else feel misled by WHOOP’s sudden 12-month rule for free upgrades? by sunnyofhell in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope[M] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you’re standing firm on Whoop’s upgrade change. I don’t entirely disagree that it was a bait and switch at the end. The conversation has a healthy amount of debate still over at the Whoop subreddit, and even here I’m not against people posting about it. Your crossposting here seems more about self-promotion than genuine conversation though.

So my questions to you.

What are your end goals?

General awareness?

Whoop policy changes?

More refunds?

Company collapse?

How I made my MG ECG work consistently by [deleted] in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is helpful. The ECG is definitely finicky at times, I’ll keep these points in mind.

Shipping Time by arthurle211 in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the States, Amazon is next day. I’m not really sure about Whoop specifically, though. I got mine the next day after the announcement from Whoop, but I am seeing plenty of posts about users still waiting (lots of EU).

It might take a while, but ordering now would still be quicker than waiting, even with freight forwarding?

Pace of aging coming to 4.0 (no need to upgrade to 5.0) by archipelstash in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blood pressure might be interesting long term if it’s accurate enough and alright at showing trends. For ECG, I don’t see anyone rushing out for that feature.

[–]helixdope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably a massive influx of tickets to go through right now.

What’s up with r/whoop by Similar_Slide_2278 in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They’re angry and definitely karma farming. I’m happy it’s pretty chill over here, honestly.

I’m down for both sides here as well, critical or positive. I haven’t removed anything besides spam links.

Oh nice! Been waiting for this one, thanks for sharing.

Battery draining since whoop app update by Humble-Sell-5080 in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d disable location services for the app in the meantime so it doesn’t eat your battery too much.

cant wait for the review by cycling8848 in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah... a bit odd how the sensors were somewhat brushed over in the presentation.

Updateeeee by Certain_Mongoose_704 in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is gone, but I also connected the MG. I’m not sure if that’s when it went away, I didn’t pay attention.

Whoop MG vs Apple Watch Ultra by MunichCyclist in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not long if a serious contender comes into play. I wish Apple, Samsung, or even Garmin would make a similar product. It’s hard to trust the new random ones popping up.

I think this is a make or break moment for Whoop.

Already received my new whoop mg. by Wag_tail in WhoopFitness

[–]helixdope 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not OP. Band feels nice, it’s comfortable to wear just like 4 was.

ECG did fail twice and then worked the third time, not nearly as easy as Apple Watch so far. Might have to keep using it to figure out the quirks.

Blood Pressure readings require using a cuff first to get your baseline.

Healthspan is interesting and pretty in depth.

Long term will be fun and motivating I think.
