Whoop just launched the biggest update in its history—introducing two new devices, upgraded membership plans, next-gen health tracking, and a complete accessory reset.
This isn't just about fitness anymore. It's about longevity, recovery, and turning your wearable into a personalized health lab.
🆕 Whoop 5.0 & Whoop MG – What’s New
- Whoop 5.0: 14+ day battery life, 7% smaller, new sensors, improved haptic alarm, waterproof wireless power pack
- Whoop MG: Adds ECG, daily blood pressure readings, skin temperature tracking, and clinical-grade diagnostics
⚠️ Note: Bands from the 4.0 will NOT fit the 5.0 or MG. Whoop changed the attachment system again. You’ll need new bands if you upgrade.
❓Also: There’s currently no confirmed shipping date for 5.0 or MG devices.
🧬 Healthspan & Whoop Age – Aging in Reverse?
Healthspan helps you track your biological age vs. actual age. You’ll also see your “pace of aging” to know if you’re accelerating or reversing aging based on:
- Sleep consistency & efficiency
- Strength training
- VO2 Max
- Resting heart rate & lean mass
Updated weekly with personalized coaching.
❤️ Heart Screener, Blood Pressure, Hormonal Insights
- ECG: Check for AFib and arrhythmias instantly
- Blood Pressure: Daily wrist-based readings without a cuff
- Hormonal Insights: In-depth menstrual phase tracking, symptom logging, birth control adaptation
💤 Sleep Pillars & VO2 Max
Whoop’s sleep tracking is now built around four pillars:
- Hours vs. needed
- Consistency
- Efficiency
- Sleep stress
You’ll also get automatic, weekly updates to your VO2 Max score—one of the best indicators of cardiovascular fitness and longevity.
📦 Membership Plan Comparison
Many 4.0 members were automatically moved to the new “Whoop Peak” plan—but this does NOT include the new 5.0 device for free.
If you want the new 5.0, you’ll need to extend your plan. If you want the new MG hardware, you’ll need to purchase a Whoop Life membership.

- New plans with better pricing tiers—but no freebies
- 4.0 members now see “Peak” on paper, but no hardware upgrade unless you pay
- Accessory reset means 4.0 bands won’t work with the 5.0 or MG
- Still no word on exact shipping dates
