Hello
I am new to Whoop and started with 5.0 (Peak subscription). I’ve started a few days back and see some real nice stuff on the App and the way data is presented.
As it’s the beginning I am also wearing my Fenix 8 on the opposite arm, and use the F8 as my master device for trainings (ie I record on Garmin Connect and let the Whoop App get the workout info via Apple Health sync).
I am really dissapointed by the HR accuracy while exercising, considering I am wearing my whoop with the exact same position and fit as my F8. Whoop on left arm, F8 on right one.
Here are the same activity recorded with some running intervals (3x12’ Half marathon pace). On the Gamin side we see on both external HR chest strap and internal optical sensor a great match with the intervals and the rest between intervals. None of this happens on the Whoop : HR is too high, no drop during recovery. It feels juste like the whoop is getting my cadence and not my HR.
As one can imagine results as worse during Swimming activities. With HR in Z4/5 while just recovering and Garmin showing Z1 max HR.
I really hate the idea of having to swap to a bicep band so I really hope future FW will fix this soon enough
