ATHLYTIC App: Can it REPLACE WHOOP?

In this video I review how I've been ATHLYTIC app, which seems to me to provide very similar information to that provided by WHOOP. So can this application on the iPhone, which uses the sensors in the Apple Watch, replace the WHOOP band at a fraction of the yearly cost?
Let's find out...

To be fair, the annual subscription of Whoop includes the device (and gets you new versions of the devices as they are released). If you compare prices of each, you’ll need to include the cost of the Apple Watch too over a specific period of time.

[@phillip.ingham]

That's a fair comment. Are you a whoop user? What would you say the lifespan of the device was?

[@MookieKong]

@@phillip.ingham I’m not a Whoop user 😅 I’m an Apple Watch (and previously a Garmin) user.

[@brboykin]

@@phillip.ingham I've used them both. Whoop is actually giving away the Strap and a band for new members (Has been for at least 2 years). But @mookie, I never thought about adding the cost of the Watch to the Athyltic app cost structure, but that's a good point - So could vary I guess. I will say though, that you wouldn't buy an Apple Watch for the Athyltic app - so that argument falls apart pretty quickly the more I think about it. Having used them both, I'd say I like a device that is specifically paired to their own app (Whoop Strap to Whoop App). I also liked having something on my other wrist. I like the interface better too. Last thing I'll say is my metrics variance between the Whoop Strap and the Apple watch is pretty significant. So...I don't know who is right, but there are major differences in the data (specifically with sleep).

Well. You can use an Apple watch for 4-5 years. So Whoop is priced like an AWU (in Europe) but you can get the AWU probably for a cheaper price.

@@MookieKong why did you switch from garmin to apple? i currently got an apple watch and was thinking about switching to garmin especially for the battery life. but garmin seems to be less accurate than apple..

[@EzaVinylAddict]

Great vid I use the app and it’s great

[@phillip.ingham]

Thanks for engaging. I've been very impressed and it's just another (cheaper) way of helping out with recording metrics

[@EvilTeacher34]

How can you compare something that you've never used? (Whoop I mean)

[@phillip.ingham]

Thanks for comment. I can't compare the experience that is for sure, I was interested to see if the metrics offered by both were in any way comparable, and they seem to be. For some one who has neither and is trying to decide it might be useful to know.

[@z3ro7o]

Right 👍🏻😂😂😂

[@greigmn]

Thanks, really useful

[@phillip.ingham]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Is the app something you'll be trying out?
