Hi @AlanGooner,
Just wanted to clarify a couple of points from the conversation above.
- We don’t adjust HR data based on workout type. The system is not aware of the potential activity type at that point in our pipeline.
- We aren’t importing HR data from any other device. So if you see the same waveform across two devices that is probably a good sign that they are both reacting to the same physiological signal (or both are coincidentally wrong in the same way
).
Our signal processing team is going to take a look this week and see if there something generally up which could explain these HR spikes and readings you’ve been seeing.

Thank you for looking into this but I do not think you will find anything. Lots of us are having issues with HR & HRV causing havoc with recovery. I had another HRV spike last night, from my normal of around 20 to 152. So today’s recovery thinks I am superman but tomorrow morning when I drop back to normal range I will be deep in the red. The worse part, this will stay with me for a month or more and give me an exaggerated average HRV. I will now be in a hole for a few weeks. These wild spikes in HR and HRV and simply making the metrics unusable. Disappointing

Hey @AlanGooner,
Our signal processing team took a look at your diagnostic information and see some indication that your strap may be loose when you are exercising. Is it possible that it’s loose and moving around a bit as you cycle?
Loose, it’s always the same answer from you guys, the device is not performing properly and I am pretty sure you know it. The 3 rides were exactly the same location on the bicep and same tightness. So explain why the easy ride it handled it fine but when Moderate or Hard then Whoop couldn’t.
This community is full of people saying the same thing and every time you say tighten. I appreciate you looking at this but the loose response is getting really tiresome. I am so unbelievably frustrated with this and I know it’s not the users fault. If I wear it much tighter I’ll cut off circulation.
Someone from Whoop, not you, needs to address all the issues people are seeing because this is beyond teething problems. Time to clear the air.
PS if I was offered a refund right now I’d bite your handoff.

I think your “Signal Processing Team” needs to get their heads out of their backsides. This “too loose” response is really getting old… you guys are caking tasty frosting (Healthspan) on a hot pile of cow dung (HR sensor). Fix your signal processing and stop blaming your customers.

Well said and the more that say this, perhaps they might just listen

3 good rides with correct HR and then boom a crazy one. Nothing has changed, same location, same tightness. Can this MG get anymore frustrating.

Absolutely perfect today. One day good and another terrible. I’d prefer it to be always bad rather than this 3 or 4 good days and then a bad day. At least then I can ignore the recovery & strain but this inconsistency is painful.

Yesterday I had an easy small run. I was kindly surprised to compare my whoop HRV with my garmin chess hr strap
It is true to say I was absolutely shocked. Despite the fact I have to change whoop from wrist to biscepce constantly.

I wear Whoop on the bicep constantly and it still gives inaccurate data. It’s better than on the wrist but still off. My runs look the same as yours. Lots of time in zone 5 whereas my chest strap says zone 2 which is correct. So even bicep doesn’t solve the problem.

Those two charts look very similar so good match between the two. That’s what frustrates me, some good ones and then a terrible one throws my recovery out of the window

Agreed. I’m seeing bad recovery frequently since a few days

I am afraid I cannot agree that they are close. Whoop shows peeks while garmin uniform growth.

Whats the High and Average? We can’t see but the charts do look very similar to me. Nothing like when mine is off.
The scales are also different Whoop starts at 50bpm and Garmin 71bpm. That would suggest a smoother looking graph on Garmin. If the Average & High are close between the two then it’s probably a reasonable match.
This is an example of what I see.

Yes. I get a heart rate from over 200 on my runs. No way 
I would reach this. My chest strap shows 40 bpm less.

Whoop: avg: 128 BPM, max 170
Chest pulse: avg 147 BPM, max 182 bpm
I consider the profile is not correct

Yes that isn’t correct. But from just looking at the graph it was hard to tell. What exercise was you doing? For me Whoop is the opposite, way to high
