Feature request - watch tap to start activity

Hello Whoop team,

I am really enjoying the haptic alarm feature in my whoop 5.0. I works very nicely to wake me without a jolt!

As the watch is able to detect the taps to turn off the alarm I wondered if you would consider adding additional functionality using that. For example it would be very nice to be able to tap a certain number of times (and receive a haptic feedback to confirm it felt it) to begin or end a generic “activity” to add the name later. the autodetect doesn’t always pick things up and it might be nice not to have to remember when you started or ended, or having to open up the phone.

In the longer term users might like to be able to customise what tapping the watch achieves, such as logging a drink to track hydration, or to locate your phone by setting off a sound from it. That is one feature I really miss from my Garmin tracker.

I really agree with this! When doing things like contrast therapy, it is annoying to have to take your phone out to log Sauna, Cold Plunge, Sauna Cold Plunge, and so on. So being able to start an activity to name it later would be really helpful! app-feature
