Who has a WHOOP band and how are you getting on with it?

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a whoop 4.0 so I can get some more data on how hard I'm pushing myself due to asking my PT to up my training to 6 days a week when I was with him this Saturday.
Are they giving you realistic, worthwhile metrics that tally with how you actually feel and perform?
I have been sleeping badly since the clock changes and it seems like I feel totally shattered, and my gains have stalled / slowed considerably since then too.
Partly because I have not noticed how late it has got before getting ready and into bed mind.....
 
You're feeling shattered and gains have stalled, so you're looking to increase training?

Whilst these watches can be helpful, it sounds like you already have a lot of data points that you're not listening to.
Which I think is my sleep and the clock change. Off to bed now to combat that from this week onwards..
Wondered if Whoop aligns with other peoples feelings about their levels of fitness / recovery and whether it tells them things they didn't already know

Can we not turn this into an "all other wearables" thread please, although I suspect it's already run its course with people who have one.. can't be that many on this forum I guess.
It certainly doesn't come up regularly in wearable reviews.
 
Great analysis there vandle thanks.
yea I got one, its still calibrating some metrics at the moment although I have been filling in the journal and what not.
its not going to give me much useful data for a while as I'm all but totally sedentary while I get over this second case of covid (assumed it's covid anyway as I didn't test) mostly got over it and back at work but not gone near the gym or done anything athletic at all yet. Just sat on my puddin
 
Fist exercise today, just 30 mins of cardio to see how I get on first day back..
Auto detected it as a walk, (I was on the treadmill) Seems pretty good so far.
