The EDA (electrodermal activity) sensor tracks physiological stress throughout the day — a feature absent from most competitors at this price.
Comes with Fitbit Premium for advanced sleep analysis, HRV trends, stress management scores, and personalised health insights.
Unlike Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch, Sense 2 pairs with any smartphone and runs 6 days before charging.
No distractions — WHOOP tracks everything without buzzing, glowing, or asking for your attention. All data lives in the app.
WHOOP's Recovery Score synthesises HRV, resting heart rate, sleep quality, and respiratory rate to tell you how ready your body is each day.
The WHOOP battery pack slides onto the device and charges it without removal — no gaps in overnight sleep tracking.
