Whoop is back — and it’s 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 they’re 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 — so you can focus more on your wellness and less on recharging.
But this isn’t just a hardware refresh. According to Whoop founder and CEO Will Ahmed, it’s a complete transformation. “We’re not just launching new devices — this is a reinvention of the entire WHOOP experience,” 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. “We’re building a platform that helps people take control of their health,” Ahmed said. “WHOOP is evolving into the operating system for your body.”
So, What’s New in Whoop 5.0 and MG?
Well, for starters — 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. That’s two weeks of health tracking without needing a charge. Love that.
And these bands aren’t just smaller and sleeker. They come loaded with some seriously impressive health features:
- Blood pressure insights (yes, on your wrist!)
- An ECG/Heart Screener that’s even FDA-cleared
- Hormonal tracking, great for understanding menstrual cycles
- Sleep quality scoring that’s more in-depth than ever
- And something called Whoop Age, which tells you how fast (or slow) you’re 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. It’s not just about more data — 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. That’s 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 it’s not pretending to be a smartwatch. There’s no screen, no distractions. It’s purely built to help you understand your body — recovery, stress, sleep, strain — all of it. That’s why it’s a favorite among elite athletes.
But even if you’re 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:
- They’ve refreshed their SuperKnit, SportFlex, and CoreKnit bands
- Launched a new athleisure line called Whoop Body
- And teased a feature called Advanced Labs, where you’ll be able to schedule blood tests via the app for even deeper health insights (coming soon)
Membership-Only Access
Now, here’s the thing — you can’t just buy the band outright. You need to be on one of Whoop’s 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 |
It’s a bit different from buying a regular smartwatch, but you’re not just getting the hardware — you’re getting access to a full health platform.
My Take?
If you’re tired of smartwatches that sort of track health but mostly distract you with notifications, Whoop 5.0 or MG might be what you’re really looking for. It’s clear that Whoop is going all-in on becoming your personal health assistant — and honestly, they’re 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 — it’s Whoop’s bold move to become your daily health hub.
