Whoop is back โ and itโs thinking bigger than just fitness tracking. The US-based health tech brand has just dropped its latest wearables, the Whoop 5.0 and Whoop MG, and theyโre packed with some seriously powerful health features. Not only are the new bands 7% smaller than the Whoop 4.0, but they also boast an impressive 14+ days of battery life โ so you can focus more on your wellness and less on recharging.
But this isnโt just a hardware refresh. According to Whoop founder and CEO Will Ahmed, itโs a complete transformation. โWeโre not just launching new devices โ this is a reinvention of the entire WHOOP experience,โ he shared in a LinkedIn post on May 8.
At a time when access to quality healthcare feels harder than ever, Whoop is aiming to put real health insights directly in your hands. โWeโre building a platform that helps people take control of their health,โ Ahmed said. โWHOOP is evolving into the operating system for your body.โ
So, Whatโs New in Whoop 5.0 and MG?
Well, for starters โ the Whoop 5.0 and MG are now 7% smaller than the previous model (Whoop 4.0), and they somehow still manage to pack in more than 14 days of battery life. Thatโs two weeks of health tracking without needing a charge. Love that.
And these bands arenโt just smaller and sleeker. They come loaded with some seriously impressive health features:
- Blood pressure insights (yes, on your wrist!)
- An ECG/Heart Screener thatโs even FDA-cleared
- Hormonal tracking, great for understanding menstrual cycles
- Sleep quality scoring thatโs more in-depth than ever
- And something called Whoop Age, which tells you how fast (or slow) youโre actually aging physiologically

Whoop MG: A Bit More Premium
If you want the top-of-the-line version, Whoop MG is the one to check out. Itโs not just about more data โ it comes wrapped in Italian leather, looks super sharp, and is made for 24/7 wear. Think of it as luxury meets science.
Oh, and it has blood pressure monitoring and ECG built-in. Thatโs the kind of stuff we usually rely on separate medical devices for, so seeing it in a wearable is honestly pretty cool.
Designed for Everyday Athletes
One of the things I appreciate about Whoop is that itโs not pretending to be a smartwatch. Thereโs no screen, no distractions. Itโs purely built to help you understand your body โ recovery, stress, sleep, strain โ all of it. Thatโs why itโs a favorite among elite athletes.
But even if youโre not a pro, Whoop makes it easy to take charge of your health in a data-driven way.
More Than Just the Band
With this launch, Whoop is also expanding its whole ecosystem:
- Theyโve refreshed their SuperKnit, SportFlex, and CoreKnit bands
- Launched a new athleisure line called Whoop Body
- And teased a feature called Advanced Labs, where youโll be able to schedule blood tests via the app for even deeper health insights (coming soon)
Membership-Only Access
Now, hereโs the thing โ you canโt just buy the band outright. You need to be on one of Whoopโs membership plans:
| Tier | Price/year | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Whoop ONE | $199 | Basic 5.0 band, charger, health + fitness tracking |
| Whoop PEAK | $239 | 5.0 + wireless charger, advanced metrics (Healthspan, Stress Monitor) |
| Whoop LIFE | $359 | Medical-grade MG band, ECG, AFib alerts, blood pressure beta |
Itโs a bit different from buying a regular smartwatch, but youโre not just getting the hardware โ youโre getting access to a full health platform.
My Take?
If youโre tired of smartwatches that sort of track health but mostly distract you with notifications, Whoop 5.0 or MG might be what youโre really looking for. Itโs clear that Whoop is going all-in on becoming your personal health assistant โ and honestly, theyโre doing a great job of it.
The battery life is a win. The features are top-notch. And the design? Sleek and wearable all day.
So yeah, this launch is more than just a new band โ itโs Whoopโs bold move to become your daily health hub.
