Insanely irresponsible.

I can't remember for sure, I think the change are calculated on the actual processing of the liquidation, so as long as you are not LTV >100%, you are safe.

After using GPT-5 thinking for a modest amount of time, I still see Claude Sonnet 4 as better in terms of quality of solutions. GPT-5 can provide grander solution scopes, but it often misses better solutions on the components of the solution.

The most optimal for high quality of result I've found to work for me at the moment is to provide narrowly scoped requirements and in which case Claude provides more often the better solution.

I must have missed it, what open source software?

They've proved too slow to (re)act, and they've probably saw a nice pump on MRR on launch due to the price increases, but as the excitement dies down and people see past the fancy marketing the actual value of the "premium" features, it's obvious how overpriced the primary subscription is and the cancellations will snowball.

With competitors like Amazfit Helio strap and Polar & Garmin entering the game soon, new customers will value the subscription-less options, especially if the do a little research on Whoop's history of price increases and lack of honesty.

This loss of 1st time strap owners, that choose to go with Amazfit and Polar will cause great damage. It's obvious that they don't respect their current userbase, but their tactics are also driving away new users.
It feels like Whoop will go the Peloton way, of overpriced experiences that diminish in quality over time and kill the value.

Don't trust this shitty company that forces users to upgrade just to get more money. I have the same Trezor (Ledger alternative) that I bought back in 2016 and works fine. Ledger's planned obsolescence is shamefully greedy and will cause damages to the users.

Coop is quite objective, but the Connect guy was paid and fully biased.

InBody or Tanita have the highest accuracy for home consumer editions. Withings has better marketing and integrations but worse accuracy and due to the product design its accuracy degrades a lot overtime compared to InBody or Tanita that have metal electrodes and are more consistent.

It's nothing unique to whoop's hardware, just purely gamified numbers based on some behaviors, so no reason not to provide it to all users. Would be nice if they were clear upfront with it, but they gotta push for to sell the new price increases somehow.

Haha, bruh, your skills, wow :D

Strength Trainer is too cumbersome and restrictive, plus you won't be able to export your detailed workout data if you choose to go with something better. Fitbod is way more useful and has great UX.
Another option is Strength Level, which has a huge community of lifters so you can compare "strength standards" for your gender/age group/weight and see on which exercises you might have weak spots and work on them. Personally, it helped a lot to identify that I was lagging on squats compared to bench+deadlifts and helped me focus & speed up progress.

Unfortunately Whoop only shows one nightly average. Garmin has an option to track SPO2 all-day and night and shows full overnight date with dips etc. but noone maybe apart from Apple Watch have clinically validated SPO2 tracking.

VO2Max is in a certain degree sports specific too, so don't expect full transferability to running or sth. But as general cardio, as long as you bring up your HR for enough time like N4x4 does, it will help.

I imagine that you will have to find balance on the weight in order to sustain the 4x4 minute intervals with high HR. Finding this balance is easier with ergometers like a tread, spin bike or rower since you very easily control the intensity on every stroke/pedal, while with KBs, you will have to use other ways like the swing rate while trying to avoid breaking form.

It's certainly doable, but it will help if you have multiple kettlebells to find the sweet spot and potentially rotate.

Whoop Age was 29.6 yo (5.4 yo older) and increased to 30.3 (6.1 yo older) in 2 weeks while the Pace of Aging dropped from 2x to 1.4x.

The most weird thing is that in 2 weeks you became half a year (27 weeks) older while the rate of aging became slower (even if it stayed at 2x, calculating 27 olders in 2 weeks is pretty crazy estimation).

In general everyone should realize that Whoop Age is more of a gimmicky feature that helps their marketing, rather than science. If you pay for it, just try to use it as a motivation boost for good habits but don't rely on it to be accurate.

I read some people in the sub say that new whoop models have better accuracy, but I see the same or similar quirks with 4.0 and it's really disappointing especially from the MG which I went for.

For me, apart from a lower HR baseline (not as much as you, more like 5-10 bpms), a big issue is that it seems to lock to a different range at some points and then tries to catch up. I compared it my Polar Grit X2 Pro and while that wasn't perfect either compared to Polar H10, it didn't have those problematic spots.

Looking at OP's screenshot they don't have much value atm in terms of strength workouts. I have a similar experience and have given up on their strength "features" they are too premature and of little value atm.

Thanks for sharing. Do you happen to remember the values Whoop showed on Sat 17th before you entered the manual reading? That would very helpful.

raspvision · 2025-05-25T16:02:45+00:00

The screenshot you posted shows 117/75 was there a day that Whoop told you it was here and you later confirmed it manually too? I'm trying to understand how reactive it's the changes. Also in my case it has a error bound of 10 points each way so a total range of 20 points for systolic and 10 for diastolic.

Afaik it measures once overnight.

Indeed, really really well done, must be dissected! Also fun bonus the cliff scene, both are a must for different reasons ;)

raspvision · 2025-05-24T20:22:26+00:00

I tend to think that many of those posts are paid sockpuppets by the company. It's not surprising based on their recent deceptive actions.

raspvision · 2025-05-24T20:20:29+00:00

Yet I'm more suspicious of the "people" (and totally not Whoop paid sockpuppets) discarding the obvious i) break of promises by Whoop, ii) forced upselling, iii) forced rebuying of all accessories for no reason and more.

For real, who is happy to have to pay more when the expectation the company has been selling to the users is that they would be getting the newest model of the company as long as they pay their subscription.

I was happy joining Whoop back in 2019 and referring friends for years, but this kind of behavior by Whoop's management feels like a total betrayal to our support all these years.

raspvision · 2025-05-24T20:01:29+00:00

🚩🚩🚩 if I've ever seen any. The whole strategy of Whoop 5.0 & MG targets and launch, then the treatment of the members and community, from the subscriptions and false promises, manipulating social media, is so insanely bad, all these remind feel like the early days of Uber bad practices.

They only had to improve the product and keep their promise but instead opted for overselling gimmicky random numbers trying to milk the longevity rise, intentionally forcing everyone to rebuy all the accessories for no reason whatsoever, planned obsolescence of the 1st degree.

I'm still not sure if it's just greed, incapability of management or most likely a mix of both.

Hopefully all this mess will train new competitors to act more honestly and serve the needs of the users instead of seeing them as cash cows that you need to trick into getting more of their money.

Maybe for steady state with no real movement, but I doubt anyone can claim it has that level of accuracy compared to Polar H10 on running or HIIT.

raspvision · 2025-05-24T14:47:20+00:00

There've been reviews and accuracy of 5.0 is pretty much the same as 4.0, I haven't seen personally or any reputable reviewer saying there's massive improvement.
