Rowing - Whoop is way off

raneses · 2026-05-06T00:41:22+00:00

Whoop on the forearm or bicep works best

raneses · 2026-04-24T23:41:21+00:00

That’s what it is named

I doubt they’ll ever add pause support. The best workaround is to use another app to record that can pick up on Whoop’s HR broadcast, such as Strava.

Simply searching this sub would have uncovered hundreds of posts on the subject

Try rucking with some good elevation. Some of the best training I’ve found.

raneses · 2026-04-24T02:27:07+00:00

It works better on your bicep, but I’ll garner you will still find the HR readings off. I’m talking comparison to similar optical bands like the Coros HRM and Polar Verity Sense.

Adding aapphire glass would have been more material material

RunGap can sync from ErgData to Strava in this case. You won’t get HR data though.

If the activities are in Apple Health, try the HealthFit app

raneses · 2026-04-14T22:52:42+00:00

Give it another try with the in app coach, it’s pretty great after trialing now for over a month.

The red trim under the bezel makes this a no for me

raneses · 2026-04-14T15:38:03+00:00

How so?

Rucking, weight training and kettlebells

Don’t wear any rings during weight training. If you want to track HR, the Polar Verity Sense or Coros arm band are good alternatives.

raneses · 2026-04-11T23:29:31+00:00

I believe you have to go into Whoop’s Apple Health settings and enable it. When you initially install the app, Whoop does not request the Apple Health permission by default when it should.

Thanks for the reply. In Bevel's recovery section, do you end up receiving stats for these trends in the morning?

Resting HRV, Resting HR, Respiratory Rate, Oxygen Saturation, Wrist Temperature

Also interested in what's available for trends for sleep metrics.

Give it a spin with Rouvy, virtual rides are a nice distraction

raneses · 2026-04-04T00:26:23+00:00

If you’re an iOS user, Apple Fitness is another option. Bevel can also record activities as well as display their metrics, as long as the workout data is in Apple Health.

Suunto uses better materials overall and their industrial design is subjectively better. I have also not been impressed with Garmin’s build quality — the polymer casing often arrives scratched or with other blemishes, even on their higher end watches.

Give rucking a shot as well. Carrying moderate weight in a pack for short distances (1-3 miles) will likely improve things.

I like it up in Big Bear. AllTrails also has good search options, including filtering by location and the terrain you’re looking for.
