The leather WHOOP band, and what it cannot take
Three colourways, a pin buckle, €59. What leather changes in the wearing, and the limit you should know about before buying.
The metal WHOOP band: what it changes
Milanese mesh, a magnetic clasp and four finishes. What metal changes in the wearing, and what it does not.
The WHOOP band that looks like a Rolex
Yes, there is a WHOOP band with a dial borrowed from the Rolex. What it shows, what it is not, and which colourway to pick for contrast.
What to do with your old WHOOP 4.0 bands
They will never mount on a 5.0 or an MG. What remains possible, and what does not.
What charms are actually for
They measure nothing and improve no data. What they do is something else — and it deserves to be said plainly.
Travelling with your WHOOP: flights, heat, the beach
Three weeks of holiday is enough to age a band by a year. Salt, sunscreen and heat, in that order.
The first five days with a WHOOP
What is decided in the first week, on the hardware side: position, fit, and two habits that determine how long the band lasts.
Inaccurate heart rate during training: where it comes from
Before blaming the sensor, there are five mechanical causes to rule out. They explain the vast majority of cases.
Giving a WHOOP band: what to check first
It makes a good gift for someone who already owns the device, provided you check one thing — the one everybody forgets.
WHOOP with formal wear: weddings, dinners, black tie
Taking it off leaves a hole in your data, keeping it on takes a little method. There is a third way.
Wearing your WHOOP at the office, under a shirt
A sports sensor on the wrist of a work outfit: what makes it go unnoticed, and what gives it away.
Sleeping with your WHOOP
The night accounts for a third of your data and all of the red marks in the morning. The night setting is not the day setting.
WHOOP and racket sports: padel, tennis, squash
The repeated wrist action and the racket grip test a band more surely than a long endurance session.
WHOOP and weight training: what actually interferes
The bar, the handles and a bent wrist are the sensor's three enemies. None of them requires buying anything.
A pale band that has yellowed
White and pale shades age less gracefully than the rest. What stains them, what can be recovered, and what cannot.
The device turns or slides on the wrist
A WHOOP that rotates under the wrist is no longer measuring anything reliable. Four causes, from the silliest to the most final.
Redness and irritation under the band
A red mark under a continuously worn band is almost always mechanical, not allergic. The causes, in the order you should tackle them.
Changing your WHOOP band in thirty seconds
No tools, no screws, no spring bars. It comes down to three moves, and the third is the one people skip.
Official or third-party WHOOP band: what really changes
We sell third-party bands, so we had better be precise about what you give up and what you gain by leaving the official ones.
Where to wear your WHOOP: wrist, forearm, bicep
The wrist is the reference position, but it is not always the best one. What each spot changes for the reading and for comfort.
Woven or silicone: which material for a WHOOP band
The two materials are not equivalent, and which one wins depends on the use. An honest comparison, including where the weave loses.
A band that has stretched out: what wears a weave
An elastic band always slackens in the end. What speeds that up, what slows it down, and the point at which it is time to replace it.
How many WHOOP bands do you actually need?
One is enough to wear the device. Two make it last considerably longer, for a reason that has nothing to do with style.
ECG and Heart Screener: which band for WHOOP MG
These two WHOOP MG features run through the band itself, not just the device. What that means when you want to change it.
Getting the fit right on a WHOOP band
Too loose and the readings drop out. Too tight and the wrist marks. The right setting comes down to one finger of clearance, and it is not the same by day and by night.
Swimming, sweating and showering with your WHOOP
The device handles water without trouble. The band reacts differently depending on the water: fresh, chlorinated or salt.
Why a WHOOP band starts to smell, and how to stop it
A band worn twenty-four hours a day eventually picks up a smell. That is not a manufacturing fault, and two habits are enough to keep it away.
Does a WHOOP 4.0 band fit a WHOOP 5.0?
No, and not the other way round either: the connector changed between the two generations. How to check yours in ten seconds, before you order.
WHOOP 5.0 and WHOOP MG: what changes for your band
Two devices, one connector, and a single exception worth knowing about before you buy a woven band.
