Feature Request: Steam & Sauna Haptic Timer on WHOOP

I’d love a Steam/Sauna Timer feature that lets me set a countdown in the WHOOP app and have the band vibrate when time is up.

Core idea

  • In the WHOOP app, choose a Steam/Sauna Timer (or generic timer).
  • Set a duration (e.g., 5, 10, 12, 15 minutes, or custom).
  • When the timer ends, my WHOOP band buzzes so I know it’s time to get out or cool down.

Why this matters

  • In a steam room or sauna, I usually don’t have my phone or can’t safely use it.
  • I want a silent, wrist-based signal so I’m not guessing how long I’ve been in.
  • This pairs naturally with recovery activities I already log (sauna/steam).

Nice-to-have options

  • A couple of preset durations (e.g., 8, 10, 12 minutes) plus custom.
  • Different vibration patterns for “Timer done” vs. wake alarm.
  • Optional: link the timer to a Recovery activity (Sauna / Steam Room) so starting that activity can offer a built-in timer.

Personally I would love that feature but I would wanted to have the timer in other sports.

Bravo

Hi @Paulmurphy03 , Thanks for laying this out, the “silent, wrist-based buzz in the sauna when your phone isn’t with you” use case makes a ton of sense, especially since it maps to recovery routines people already log.

A Steam/Sauna (or generic) countdown timer with a distinct haptic pattern at the end, plus a few quick presets and an optional tie-in to starting a Sauna/Steam activity, would be a really clean quality-of-life addition.

We appreciate the feedback and I will pass it along to our product team.
