Hello WHOOP Team,
I would like to share a product suggestion and, at the same time, ask whether you could accommodate a custom request.
I am a WHOOP user and would love to have the option of wearing the WHOOP sensor around my chest, positioned just below the chest and close to the heart area, rather than on my wrist or upper arm.
My idea is very simple: a band similar to the current WHOOP Bicep Band, but longer and more adjustable, allowing it to wrap comfortably around the chest and securely hold the WHOOP sensor below the chest, near the heart area.
I am not necessarily looking for a completely new or complicated design. Even a longer version of the existing Bicep Band, using the same WHOOP sensor attachment system, would be exactly what I am looking for.
I have also noticed that other sports and heart-rate monitoring devices already use chest-based sensor placement. This approach has proven particularly effective for heart-rate monitoring during exercise. Positioning the sensor on the chest can provide stable skin contact and reduce interference caused by wrist or arm movement during training, potentially resulting in more stable and accurate readings in certain conditions.
Since WHOOP is highly focused on data quality, performance, recovery, and physiological monitoring, I believe an official chest-wearing option could be a very valuable addition. It could benefit not only me, but also athletes and other WHOOP members who want the best possible data quality during training.
If this product is not currently available, would it be possible to make one custom band for me, or provide a longer version of the Bicep Band that could comfortably fit around my chest? I would be very interested in purchasing and testing one if this is possible.
I hope you will consider this idea, either as a custom solution or potentially as a future WHOOP accessory for other members.
Thank you very much for your time. I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts and whether a solution like this might be possible.
Best regards
