No distractions — WHOOP tracks everything without buzzing, glowing, or asking for your attention. All data lives in the app.

The WHOOP battery pack slides onto the device and charges it without removal — no gaps in overnight sleep tracking.
60 continuous GPS hours with full offline topographic maps — enough for a 2.5-day mountain traverse without charging or phone dependency.
