Whoop's new fitness trackers malfunction, frustrating users

au.pcmag.com —

Whoop's new "medical grade" fitness trackers are reportedly malfunctioning shortly after purchase, causing user frustration. Devices are failing to power on or connect to the app. Users are experiencing devices that shut down without warning, prompting Whoop to send replacements. Some customers received the less expensive Whoop 5.0 instead of the MG model. This follows recent controversy over Whoop's upgrade policy, where users initially faced fees for new devices despite prior promises of free upgrades.
