5.0/MG Activity Tracker - 12 Month Membership - Health and Fitness Wearable – 24/7 Activity and Sleep Tracker, Personalized Coaching, Menstrual Cycle Insights – 14+ Days Battery Life

I’ve been using the WHOOP 5.0 for several months now, and it has completely transformed the way I approach recovery, training, and overall wellness. The Sleep and Recovery tracking is incredibly detailed — it doesn’t just track sleep duration, but sleep stages, disturbances, and time spent in bed, giving me actionable insights into how well I’m recovering each night. The strain coach is also a game-changer. Instead of guessing how hard to train, WHOOP gives you real-time data to guide your intensity based on how recovered your body is. One standout feature is the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) tracking and Respiratory Rate monitoring, both of which are critical for detecting fatigue or early signs of illness. The sensor is lightweight and comfortable to wear 24/7 — I forget it’s even there. With no screen, WHOOP keeps distractions away and focuses purely on health data, synced seamlessly through the app. The battery pack design is smart — charging without removing the band is super convenient. If you’re serious about optimising your performance and recovery, WHOOP 5.0 is absolutely worth it. It’s more than a tracker — it’s a personal coach for your health.

Excellent product to track health metrics. App is very user friendly and after a day or so you don't realise it is on your wrist. On the pricier side but for the fit, durability and ease of use, I would recommend.

I originally gave this 5 stars, but my experience has deteriorated significantly over time. The device now frequently fails to record telemetry accurately and often reports that it is “off body” when it is being worn correctly. Because of this, large gaps appear in the data, which undermines the core purpose of the product. For an activity and health tracker at this price point, reliable data capture is essential, and unfortunately this has not been my experience long-term. As it currently stands, it’s no longer fit for purpose. --- I picked up the WHOOP 5.0 to get a better handle on recovery and day to day strain, and it has been far more useful than I expected. The data is clear, the app is easy to understand, and the coaching prompts actually feel personalised rather than generic tips. Sleep tracking has been especially helpful. It picked up patterns I wouldn’t have noticed on my own. The band itself is light and comfortable. I forget I’m wearing it most of the time. The charging system is clever too. Being able to slide the charger on without taking the band off makes it simple to keep topped up, and the battery genuinely lasts a long time. If you want something focused on lifestyle trends, recovery and daily insights rather than a smartwatch with apps, this is a very solid choice.

Great peace of kit. It’s got as great battery life. The insight provided is fantastic

The software is awesome however the device is a poor Quality! The parts of the sensor/strap comes apart very easily.

Happy with the product. Good battery life and satisfied wit the health indicators. Look forward to improving my lifestyle.

The WHOOP 5.0 is hands down the best tracker I’ve ever used. It’s light and comfortable enough to wear 24/7, and the app gives an amazing amount of data on sleep, recovery, strain, and even daily habits. What’s great is how easy it is to actually use that info. Instead of just counting steps or workouts, WHOOP helps me see how my choices—like sleep, hydration, or late-night snacks—affect my recovery and energy the next day. It’s helped me plan workouts smarter, get better rest, and make healthier everyday decisions. The battery is excellent and charges right on my wrist, so I never have to take it off. If you want a tracker that truly helps you understand your body and improve your lifestyle, this is worth every penny.

I’ve owned this device for 3 months, have type 2 Diabetes and am well versed in how to use data and AI (CDAIO). What follows is my review with the above in mind. Overall - a device brimming with potential but ultimately let down by shoddy technology. I’ve given this 2 stars purely on account of the app and integration with LLM’s/AI - it is that good. I am no stranger to wearables to manage my medical conditions and am used to interrogating data to aid in lifestyle management. The fatal flaw with this is the inaccurate heart rate measurement. All major functions, from daily strain logging to the health span insights (MG) are based on this - feed the AI models bad data, you get bad results. I’ve had instances where my actual bpm are in the high 150’s and the whoop shows 102 - leading to spurious insights and lifestyle tracking. Ive tried the bicep band and all to no avail, the flimsy design just isn’t reliable or consistent. And frankly I shouldn’t have to pay on top of the already steep annual fee just to use this. It’s a real shame as this device could be special, and my advice to the company is focus on the tech versus PR and you’ll be onto a winner.
