The Vertical 2 replaces the MIP screen with a bright 1.5" AMOLED LTPO — delivering vivid colour maps and improved night readability while still providing 65 hours of dual-band GPS.
An integrated LED flashlight is new to the Vertical 2, adding practical trail and camp utility without a separate device — especially useful for early morning and night runs.
Global topographic maps with dual-band GPS, 20-day smartwatch battery, and an AI Coach that personalises training load and recovery recommendations directly on the watch.
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.
