      🤣 feeling this..I was guessing the day strain is time-weighted activity strain, where the weight is nonlinear. https://twitter.com/can/status/1340116213607800832 …

      alright y'all buckle up, it's Negative Review Time I've been using the WHOOP strap for a while now. They offer heart rate data and analysis. It sucks. Don't buy it. https://twitter.com/forgingtowards/status/1333144211865137158 …

      Interesting. I’m happy so far and it seems accurate enough for me. You may be expecting too much. It is certainly slickly designed and over-marketed, and closed data model sucks, but otherwise it seems fine and worth the subscription. Though I have the 3.0 which may be better.

      It's inaccurate data collection with poor data analysis on top. It's either useless (if you ignore it when it's wrong) or harmfully misleading (if you trust it when it's wrong). EliteHRV's product is cheaper and better. Any other heart rate strap is cheaper. It's just bad

      *shrug* there are no perfect sensors. Your critique will apply to all devices. Difference of degree, not kind. All signals have errors and noise. All analysis is compromised by it. If you’re an absolutist no device will satisfy you. Sounds like you just don’t trust the company.

          Understandable if you’re disappointed in what you got vs what you expected, but “trash” is not really a helpful review. I’d save that for actual fraud like Theranos..

          Whoop renders the strap unusable if you cancel your subscription, so you can't continue using it with other heart rate recording software. The strap literally becomes trash.pic.twitter.com/BDcTsUDFVL
