On May 8, 2025, Whoop introduced two cutting-edge wearable devices, the Whoop 5.0 and Whoop MG, designed to elevate health and fitness tracking. These new devices, available starting at $199, bring a sleek design, extended battery life, and advanced health insights to users, from casual fitness enthusiasts to elite athletes.
Key Features of Whoop 5.0 and Whoop MG
Both wearables are built for 24/7 use, boasting a 14-day battery life—triple that of the Whoop 4.0’s four-to-five-day range. They’re 7% smaller, with a 60% faster processor for a smoother app experience. The devices offer enhanced in-app features, including:
- Sleep, Strain, and Recovery Tracking: Monitor your body’s performance and recovery with detailed metrics.
- Healthspan and Whoop Age: Developed with the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, this feature uses nine metrics (e.g., sleep, heart rate, VO2 max) to calculate your physiological age and aging pace, updated weekly with tips to improve longevity.
- Women’s Health Insights: Track menstrual cycles and pregnancies, with personalized data on how hormonal changes affect recovery, stress, and performance.
The Whoop MG, exclusive to the premium tier, adds medical-grade capabilities:
- ECG and Heart Health: Record electrocardiograms to detect irregular heart rhythms like AFib, with shareable PDF reports for doctors.
- Blood Pressure Insights: Daily estimates without a cuff, using a baseline from a one-time cuff reading (not for medical diagnosis but for wellness tracking).
New Membership Tiers
Whoop offers three annual subscription plans, each including a device:
- Whoop One ($199): Includes the Whoop 5.0 with a basic charger and CoreKnit band. Tracks core metrics like sleep, strain, recovery, and women’s health.
- Whoop Peak ($239): Also includes the Whoop 5.0, but with a Wireless PowerPack and SuperKnit band. Adds Health Monitor (vitals like heart rate, blood oxygen) and real-time Stress Monitor with guided breathing exercises.
- Whoop Life ($359): Includes the Whoop MG with a Wireless PowerPack and SuperKnit Luxe band. Unlocks all features, including ECG and blood pressure insights.
Additional accessories, like new Leatherluxe bands, are available for purchase separately.
Why It Matters
Whoop’s latest release marks its first major hardware update since 2021, positioning it as a leader in wearable tech. The extended battery life, compact design, and advanced features like Whoop Age and medical-grade monitoring make these devices versatile for anyone looking to optimize their health. The tiered memberships cater to different needs, though some premium features are locked behind higher plans.
Available online starting May 8, 2025, the Whoop 5.0 and Whoop MG are set to redefine how we track and improve our wellness. Whether you’re chasing fitness goals or longevity, Whoop’s latest wearables offer powerful tools to stay in tune with your body.
