When it comes to measuring fitness, most sports icons trust one brand: Wu. A smart fitness tracker that is minimal, lightweight and provides accurate fitness information. Getting a hoop band in India used to be a hassle, but thanks to Flipkart, that is no longer the case. Priced at Rs 29,990, it is just as expensive as Samsung and Apple smartwatches. However, there's more to the Whoop Band than meets the eye, and here are five reasons why you should consider it more than just a smartwatch in 2024.
Lifetime Warranty Devices: Every smartwatch or smartband comes with a standard 12-month warranty. Some warranties can be extended for an additional two years. The Whoop Band now comes with a lifetime warranty, a rarity in consumer electronics. This means you don't have to worry about hardware failures as the company will replace them for free. Please note that this only covers manufacturing defects and hardware failures, not physical damage or normal wear and tear.
Continuous and Accurate Fitness Monitoring: The Whoop Band has everything you need to continuously monitor and provide valuable insight into your fitness vitals, including monitoring heart rate, skin temperature, blood oxygen levels, daily activity and reliable sleep data. Compared to most smartwatches, it provides more accurate data. The Whoop Band can last up to five days on a single charge, which is longer than most premium smartwatches. It's designed for people who value accurate fitness data and insights. According to the company, the Whoop Band 4.0 offers 99 percent heart rate and HRV tracking accuracy, as well as gold-standard sleep tracking.
Discreet yet comfortable to wear: Smartwatches are large and bulky, which is why some people don't like wearing them despite their advantages. That's the advantage of whoop bands. The thin and light design and compact shape make it feel like you are wearing a thin band on your wrist. For those who like accessories, the Whoop strap also comes in several different colors with an easily adjustable strap. Since there are no screens, there are no distractions while training. There will also be monthly feature updates to improve Whoop Band performance. Additionally, it is IP68 certified so it will last a long time as a waterproof fitness band.
The Voop is more than just a simple bracelet: Voop bracelets are primarily worn on the wrist, but are not the only way to wear them. In fact, it can be worn over swimsuits, boxer shorts, and compression tops, and Whoop also makes matching clothing for it, making the Whoop band completely invisible, especially for athletes.
Includes a free 12-month subscription: Woop Bands includes a free 12-month subscription that gives you access to all features of the fitness band. From the second year onwards, you will have to pay Rs 23,900 per year to continue using the Whoop band. Without a subscription, the Whoop band doesn't work and doesn't even offer basic features like heart rate and sleep monitoring. For some people, this could be a reason not to buy a Whoop band instead of a smartwatch or smart ring.
