WHOOP 4.0

Armbandreleased 2021MyBodyAI · No integration yet

WHOOP 4.0 is an armband from 2021, sitting in the premium band. The maker does not publish a list price for it. It is no longer sold new. It stays in this comparison because plenty of people are still wearing one.

It reads 13 of the 33 signals this comparison tracks. Nothing at all from body composition. Rarer readings it does take: sleep efficiency.

By sensor class: 5 at high accuracy and 4 at consumer grade. That grade is my classification of the hardware, not a lab test. Those readings come from an optical heart rate sensor, an optical blood oxygen sensor, a skin temperature sensor and an accelerometer. Blood oxygen is measured through the night, not continuously through the day.

Its 5 days per charge are the 10th longest of the 11 devices of its kind here that publish a figure. Rated IP68 / 10m, fine for swimming. A WHOOP membership subscription is required to use it.

Discontinued (replaced by 5.0/MG May 2025); HR/SpO2/skin-temp, no ECG/BP/GPS/VO2max/steps.

If you want to go deeper

Your wearable's data, read against your own normal

MyBodyAI reads COROS, Garmin, Oura, Polar and Withings by logging in, and Fitbit and Pixel Watch through Google Health. Older Garmin history comes from a data export. It learns how you usually sleep and what your resting heart rate usually is, and every day shows where you stand against yourself: recovery, sleep, load and immune scores, a biological age estimate and early warnings. Optional, and separate from this comparison.
