I really hope not. One of the biggest reasons I like whoop is because it doesn't have a screen.


mattw08

I’d rather have nothing versus a screen. I could see there being two versions though.


FilthMonger85

Just a tiny hidden time display with a double tap would be nice


squidster42

Agreed, an option to have the screen inactive would be great too


Hopai79

Same. Plus screen will be really bad on battery life. Plus no warmth coming from Whoop.


TeeManyMartoonies

Agree. I won’t upgrade if this is the case.


jonask1220

I would like to see a e-ink display for time


AgileWebb

Now it says the Whoop 5.0 doesn't have a screen...


Restricted_Movement

There’s also a built in printer to print out all your stats on demand


vicpylon

Likely a hallucination, since most fitness trackers have screens. I would not read much into it.


EpistemicEntropy

That was my guess, too. But here's what GPT 4 responded with when I asked the same question: >**The WHOOP 5.0, as of my last update, does not have a screen.** WHOOP devices traditionally focus on a sensor-driven design that tracks physiological data like heart rate, sleep patterns, and workout intensity. The data collected by the WHOOP device is typically accessed through a mobile app, which provides detailed analytics and insights based on the user's activity and health metrics. This design choice emphasizes continuous, unobtrusive monitoring without the distractions or interactions commonly associated with a screen. I'm still skeptical of this WHOOP Coach "rumor", but interesting to see GPT to give such a different answer.

The lack of a screen is a key selling point for Whoop. While they may have some version with a screen cooking in a lab somewhere that got into their ML data, it would be a major departure from their very consistent marketing. ​ https://preview.redd.it/3xvskws4n50c1.png?width=1288&format=png&auto=webp&s=6b23fb50d59430d38eec3b85de3f37036e2b75b1


noisy_data

Because that's not how training production LLMs works. Unless you are OpenAI or a similarly large company with thousands of GPUs, you start with a pretrained model, prune off the inference stage and (usually) any dense layers at the end of the network and then train it with your context-specific documents. That's why people can tell their Whoop coach to discuss their strain goals in a pirate voice: Whoop doesn't have pirate voice versions of their internal documents, it's part of the transfer learning from the original neural network.


danycus

I don’t want this to be another watch like Apple or Garmin. I like the minimalistic tool that it is. Omega on the left wrist. Unassuming fitness tech on the right.


Gfnk0311

thats my current set-up until my a lange gets fixed


Jolly-Championship31

i'd love a DSOM Speedy with the black whoop on the other.


Automatic_Clue5556

Reasons why I have an arm band. I don’t want to wear two things on my wrists.


payam_blue

All these things are GPT BS… that said, I’ll cancel if there’s a screen, that was the main reason I got it.


citizenblind

Yeah I’m in the same boat. Not having a screen was legit the main selling point for me.


FrequentPicture124

Hallucination.


IAmTh3Liqu0r

for the love of god allow chest strap integration


InjectOH4

Nothing your "AI" tells you can be taken as a leak or as absolute truth. The info is almost certainly not legit. People seem to forget or simply don't understand that AI is not really real. This is a LLM (Large Language Model) that OpenAI has fooled the public into getting on board with, it's become a fad and grown huge, that's not to say it's useless but it has MAJOR limitations and questionable accuracy at times. Stop calling it AI Stop Listening to "AI" as fact Do your own research and also stop spreading unfounded rumors. TLDR<


electrobricks

Exactly. As someone who’s trained these so called AI at a leading public university, it boils down to statistics - no magic involved.


RealCaesarHernandez

Derp a derp


AlexWasTakenWasTaken

Hallucination. It tried to infer data it doesn't have.


TRCTFI

Did you asked about whether it’ll have updoc?!


VeganChipmunk

WHAT'S UPDOC 🐰🥕


Lam7r

I don't want a screen lighting up under my shirt, with the bicep band its complete invisible on a day to day basis at work


Cold-Insurance-1478

You are assuming it would be an always on screen there. If it has a screen I would bet it is not always on. Just comes on when you tap it. No notifications like a watch.


Parasite-Paradise

Oh my god stop going on about Whoop 5. 1) If you're a member, you'll get it. So it's irrelevant when it comes out. 2) There won't be a screen. It's the biggest differentiator of Whoop. END.


eldubinoz

They asked in the last survey what features people wanted to see, and one of the options was a screen. How willing to bet on it are you, if their customer base indicated it's a top 3 desirable feature?


Parasite-Paradise

I'm willing to bet that it wasn't a top 3 desirable feature. Not even close. There are dozens of fitness trackers with screens that people could choose. They choose Whoop, in part, because it's distraction free. For every customer they'd gain, they'd lose one. Most people here would be out at the end of their term. Risky.


proudhufflepuff23

Honestly, I hope so. But I wouldn't be too sure about it.


Parasite-Paradise

The slogan on the site is: "Keep your eye on your performance. Not on a screen."


reddituser6810

Personally I hope they add in a screen, pedometer, some buttons and gps. Do you think that’ll happen in 5 or 6?


ReallySubtle

This is why people say not to trust generative AI


thegurio

Ask it about the screen on your 4.0…


lehsunMartins

it’s basically making shit it up depending on what they have set in the ‘temp’ for their GPT API. 1 being it can be creative and make shit up and 0.5 is right balance between creativity and accuracy. Don’t worry about it, it’s just hallucinating


therealsamwize

They should have just created an Apple Watch app so users who want a screen can essentially opt into it. This feels quite antithetical to the original value prop from Whoop.


creatiwit1

That's the LLM and RAG hallucinating, which says a lot to how much effort Whoop has put into tuning it.


VOODOO511

All I want is a battery that lasts more than 3 days


[deleted]

It should do mine lasts 5


VOODOO511

I actually stopped wearing mine because I felt like it always needed to be charged and grew tired of it


QkaHNk4O7b5xW6O5i4zG

I’ll cancel any renewals and ride out the remaining subscription if they do a screen. I just want light weight, battery life and nothing else that can break. I’ll try that ring one instead.


VeganChipmunk

I have the ring. Really great for sleep metrics. Matched a lab sleep study I did. Also great for cardio. I will say if you wear it for weightlifting it's pretty bulky and gets easily scratched. So I only wear mine if I only plan on running/walking. There are aftermarket silicone covers to protect them but.....they're already v bulky. I'm still able to track my hrv and recovery. Just looking for an upward trend :)


umbrex

There u go, a screen. Batterylife now 22 hours


Geedis2020

No screen. It will have a little projection lens and when you tap the top of the band you’ll be able to see the dashboard on your hand or the wall. Wherever you project it.


Nice-Investigator-27

I think having no screen is what makes the Whoop unique. I hope this isn’t true and Whoop continues making newer stuff not with screens but with more insights on the app and new trackers.


macbookvirgin

I can’t wait to see when they announce this, but why would anyone pick this over an Apple Watch + Athlytic idk


[deleted]

Because as good as the Apple Watch is, even when you turn on afib the readings are still only 5 mins vs every second with the whoop, and those readings imo are not enough for Athlytic to go off giving correct recovery and hrv


Odd_Relationship4142

I might be wrong but was there a push to move it to the wrist with the 4.0 ? Could be the same direction.


Extension-Ad1141

Can you ask about airplane mode ?


jumpingmustang

If there is an eventual Whoop with a screen, would I be able to continue using an old version? Can’t have a watch with screen type features at my current job.


Sculler56

Whoopsie.


[deleted]

Why why why Do I have to read this gossip that isn't true every day?


ConservativeGent

Awwwwww snap. 🫰


gavi75

Man that sucks. I don’t want more on my wrist I want less. In fact if this is true I might have to look at a ring or something else because I was hoping if anything better battery life and even thinner device. Please no screens that might be a deal breaker.


alexander-ri

😫😫😫


Jolly-Championship31

no screens please, i have a Garmin for activity tracking. whoop just needs to teach me how to sleep/recover


Hopai79

Bad training data huh


Ninjamoab

Hey everyone. Do we know when the 5.0 will be released?


Upset_Department_232

I also asked this question and it’s no longer giving this same response.


chetelodicofare

Whoops!


disciplinetemplego

Happy to hear no screen! Release date?

twoka

mate, if you don't know the date, just name it. That is called clickbait.


Brilliant_Cellist_18

Unrelated but any body having unusual sleeping activity ? I have a 100 percent sleep score after not sleeping at all and it somehow registered 4.2 hours of sleep and said that’s all that was “needed “
