The video, presented by BT, provides an enthusiastic first look at the new WHOOP 4.0, a fitness tracker aimed at enhancing both mental and physical performance. Key upgrades from the WHOOP 3.0 include significant hardware and software enhancements. The device is 33% smaller yet robust, featuring a more comfortable super-soft knit band and a redesigned clasp to reduce data interference. Notable advancements include a waterproof battery puck with USB-C for wireless charging, a more advanced sensor array with added photodiodes and red/infrared sensors to measure blood oxygen saturation and skin temperature, and new haptic feedback alarm options.
BT explains that while the WHOOP 3.0 grays out certain health metrics due to hardware limitations, the 4.0 model offers these metrics on its health metrics page after a 90-day baseline period for personalized assessments. The video emphasizes that these enhancements are only initial changes, with more upgrades expected in the future. Viewer engagement is encouraged to expand the content’s reach and maintain updates on improving health and performance practices.
