[@mattdoherty1653]

Hi Shermin! Super useful and detailed intro to the whoop, thanks for the complete guide. I have a question about what data you choose to write from Whoop to Apple health. Why write Blood Oxygen, Heart Rate, Respiratory rate, Resting Heart Rate and Sleep when you already have the Apple Watch writing this data? What are the implications have having both devices write to those categories?

[@EBoone503]

I'm watching this vid despite being a longtime Whoop wearer. I'm at Level 23. Don't look at my stats in the team today Shervin... lol. they're horrid after thanksgiving festivities!

[@ITechATechChannel]

Great video! Would like to know if woop 4.0 is accurate with woop body clothes like shirt, shorts for night sleep. I did hear a lot on reddit accuracy is pretty bad.

[@jasonhinrichs4907]

I've been contemplating WHOOP for years now. This video might be the closest thing to convincing me to get it.

[@Quixorion]

Did you try with Athyltic?

[@jasonhinrichs4907]

​@@Quixorion I do not use an iPhone.

[@Quixorion]

I asked the same question myself and decided not to get Whoop because I don't see enough added insights compared to what I get from Athlytic (and soon Superset) to justify the price increase. All I need is a coach to provide some sort of insights into my life choices and set the direction I should be heading. The rest is completely up to me. Athlytic already gives me the insight need and that for 30€ per year. Superset, a new player, could be an Athletic replacement if it keeps its promises, and for early adopters, it will cost only 10€ for a lifetime. In your case, I have a feeling that, since you don't have many choices, you will get whoop and see progress in your life with the choices you make through the insights from Whoop. It might be so good that you wouldn't give it up and would be hooked with the subscription, especially since there is no other similar option in the Android world, unfortunately.

[@galtjohn4381]

Hi Shervin, have you noticed that whoop can't detect quick heart rate spikes ? When wearing an Apple Watch simultaneously, Whoop misses the initial spikes during each weight training set. I know my body well and at the end of a set Whoop will show my heart rate at a flat 110 BPM, while Apple recognizes the quick spike to 160 BPM

[@fahada1921]

I now have oura ring for the past 6 months. I like it for the accurate sleep tracking and battery life. But i’m getting tired of manually logging every workout I do and deciding if my intensity was (easy - moderate- hard). Especially while lifting weights I have to take it off. Now if I get whoop will it track my activity accurately enough without me needing to log every activity and the intensity of it? Is whoop better at that aspect?

[@MaverickLee11]

many people say that the oura ring was more accurate than the whoop but they opt for the whoop because the oura ring scratches when lifting things such as weights/metals etc

[@JennyParker-xg2or]

Whoooaaa, not quite a beginner's guide! You assume at the beginning of the video that we already know the basic beginner stuff - which I don't. I have no idea how to open it, charge it, etc. I'd appreciate another video that covers the first time use. Also, you do speak really quickly! But I'll come back and check this out after I find out the basics. 👍

which strap is the most comfortable?

[@hakeemawbrey8571]

did you move out of the content apartment? i remember your anti aging apartment video you were somewhere else.

[@SvenFx-22]

the whoop seems to have so much data and metrics it is a shame the app and device is marketed just to athletes. so many of us would love to use this to help become healthier in general, general wellness. im older and am not athletic, i was going to get an oura ring, but the whoop seems to have more data. also i like the idea that you wear the device 24/7. ive owned so many devices in past and once i take it off the pattern of using it get broken. i bought a whoop and im excited just wished the app didnt make me feel bad for not being athletic.. great video, Thank You

[@HigherSelph]

So do you have sleep tracking on your Apple Watch turned off?

[@df5485]

Interesting video. BUT: Why wearing the frist on the non-dominant hand? (havent read that by whoop)

[@ShervinShares]

This what their website used to say. So things might have changed without them stating it directly maybe? “We recommend wearing the strap with correct tightness (but comfortable) on the non-dominant hand, and at least two fingers-width above the wrist bone, which helps improve data quality. “

[@robsquire994]

Love the video - can i ask what is the black watch at the start that your wearing? Or if anyone else knows that reads this. I love the style of that one

[@MichaelStoller84]

NO idea!!

[@Sir_Kuo]

Should be a garmin finix

[@niccoreinhold1696]

Hey Shervin, could you share the (amazon preferrably) link of the smart scale you use? I've looked and had trouble finding one that seems legit and can also write the data to apple health. Very much appreciated!!!

[@ShervinShares]

I have a body fat video that links them! Search “Shervin body fat scales”

[@othonfilho8408]

Does whoop receive training from garmin?

[@sgnotlewis]

How does body hair affect measurements? Better to wax off the hair?

[@SnakeEater503]

cant you put taht swimming band thing on over the whole band too?

[@herissfishta9467]

I’ve got a question. If you buy it the whoop band do you still need to pay monthly payment to use the app and information’s

[@alexcook6777]

Yes, The band is a 1 time payment of about $14 AUD, you then can pay monthly of $44 I think or pay yearly $380. But yes WHOOP is a subscription.

[@sportsncars98]

Hey Shervin, great Video, decided to get a whoop mainly because of your videos at the beginning of the year and still wear and use it 24/7 intensively. But I’m always getting tired quickly of the formfactor of hardware things :). How do you see the chance that whoop releases a whoop 5.0 in 2024? And do you think the accessories will still work together with it? Ps: saw that you’ve been visiting the whoop headquarters. A video about that would be super nice :) ! Take care, greetings from Germany!

Do you know if you can wear the whoop 4.0 on teh ankle. Does it work well there?

[@MaverickLee11]

great question

[@kamaljayakumar4987]

What activity to start when you are doing gym workout/ resistance training? Is it weightlifting or functional fitness?

[@ShervinShares]

i do weight lifting, unless it's very crossfit esque then i'll do functional fitness

[@MaverickLee11]

you have to select the workout everytime you do a new one, when using the whoop? @@ShervinShares

[@markot1990]

Hey Shervin, does whoop stay in place in your bicep when you flex your bicep? I have skinny arms but when I flex my bicep, the muscle kind of balls up and I'm having a hard time getting the whoop to the right tightness. If it is just right when my arm is relaxed, then it gets too tight the moment I tighten my bicep and vice versa. I would prefer the bicep strap for the better accuracy but I find it too uncomfortable.

[@Menudaesmiberza]

I am trying to understand, why would you buy a whoop having an AppleWatch Ultra? Knowing also that Applewatch’s HR sensor is way more accurate. I don’t see any differences in tracking but perhaps I missed something

[@Caro-kv4gd]

can you also connect and sync your komoot with the app or does it only work with strava?

[@benjaminbank384]

I have just found the best video on the internet, thanks Shervin! I am struggling choosing the right tracker for me so long, but now it's getting clear and I am gonna get a cool Whoop 4. Thanks for helping me/us.

you have to put the hydrosleeve on the whoop band with the tracker. Do not take the tracker off the band.

[@JorgeGarcia-nj6iu]

You routinely get 2 hours of deep sleep? That's impressive. What sleep supplements do you use besides Magnesium?

[@Max_Holton]

The Whoop 4.0 is expensive monthly In Australia especially the 24 month & annual price Are priced insanely high in Australia- that’s the only reason why I’d probably not get one .

[@MaverickLee11]

I heard can get the first 12 months paid for including the original price.. can try it for a year and if you don't like it, can then not continue subscription

[@Max_Holton]

@@MaverickLee11 I’d doubt Australian customers would be able to get that, as it’s so expensive here 24 month membership is $600AUD+ Annual membership is $380AUD Monthly is $45AUD. Rather spend money on an Apple Watch Ultra

[@trungquang2040]

Damn your sleep looks really good, can you give us your routine, diet, training regiment? thank you

[@MaverickLee11]

nice question

[@sjenettt]

Is it possible to wear on your ankle? My wrist is just as skinny as a toothpick so it would look very big

[@MaverickLee11]

you can adjust the strap, its most accurate there.. but the 5.0 is coming out soon

[@rileyrussell3038]

I will get a whoop when they figure out how to put a clock on the unit. Great video Sherv!

[@MaverickLee11]

not having a clock on it, is why it has been so popular though.. I would prefer a step counter installed

[@DannyPimienta]

How has build quality compared as the product matures? I had the 2.0 I believe and I have about 3-4 broken ones before I had enough and cancelled my subscription.

[@xibokamania]

[@benjohnhodgson]

I completely thought the hydro sleeve just went over the strap and device worn otherwise as normal...

[@SnakeEater503]

my thoughts too

[@sianakanazireva6247]

I started the video, 2 minutes later an impulsive buy happened 😏

[@Blackbeard0791]

Whoop’s own team doesn’t say there is a “right” direction to wear the sensor as long as it’s consistent. Is there a reason you’re stressing logo towards you other than it being the way you prefer?

[@i9oofy]

I just saw a video form whoops channel and they mentioned the logo should face you

[@EricWohnig]

The thing I have yet to understand about the Whoop app is the data streak. Mine has stayed at zero the entire time.

[@rockyruiz5205]

Welp, I was wearing mine wrong. 😂 why does it matter if the whoop faces you or not?

[@Lion-qi8ej]

30 min in regarding the lifting tracking/Strength Trainer seems like I’d be spending more time punching in data then actually working out. There’s just no way I have the time nor the desire to do all of that. If I’m missing something I’d love to hear. Seems like over kill.

[@Gabriel.9603]

you must buy the strap and for use it you must pay every month

[@REIDOPLANETA]

The only fundamental flaw with this product is it's subscription. It's extremely pricy to get one thing only: access to the data it's already ingesting. Ultimately, it's a matter of time until Apple buys a company that does something similar and includes it in Health and it's game, set, match. I just can't justify the price of a whoop's subscription, particularly when an Apple Watch lasts years.

[@gemmzobrien5708]

[@jamie_weston]

Been wearing one since 2019, i think it’s a pretty decent device. I wear an Ultra 2 at the same time. I very much use whoop more for recovery and strain as this is severely lacking on apple, and tend to track workouts on the ultra and then have them pushed through via health kit Strength trainer has a lot of promise but is lacking in simple things like being able to set rest timer between sets, they bring in ai features but the basics always seem to be lacking

[@pedrosganzerla8044]

How do you think it compares to just using an apple watch?

[@jamie_weston]

@@pedrosganzerla8044 It all depends on what you want. If the focus is on health and wellbeing then I think it is better, the second someone wants additional smart phone features on top, that’s where the apple watch is in a world of it’s own
