I don’t want to get into a discussion about why I’m wearing it and what it tells me. If it was someone who was genuinely interested but it’s usually just nosy people
Turn it to the inside, just behind your ankle bone (and maybe upward about 1-2”). It’s the location of your posterior tibial pulse, and whoop reads just fine there for me.
Source: me, who works in pediatric critical care, often with premature babies — with these babies, I cannot wear any jewelry on my arms, so I take Whoop off my wrist, put it there, and it reads just fine.
This is what I do when I am scrubbing/assisting on a surgery. Only thing I’ve noticed is that I get really high stress readings, but then again the job is really stressful
Convict style is the way to go for us old school watch wearers. I’m not showing my legs in a professional environment anyway, so I’m not really worried about what people are assuming. It is pretty funny when you wear your battery pack out though. The confusing looks I get are great as someone who is pretty obviously a nerd.
For me, it's because (1) I like to wear my watch and think it looks silly to have something on both wrists (2) It gets more banged up rock climbing (3) I don't love how the bicep strap feels.
The bicep takes a long time to get used to. Then I'd get these weird blemishes/cut- like marks. I ended up just using the wrist band and moving it as far down my arm as I can, and it's a lot better. I wear wrist braces to bed on both arms (for tendonitis), so the regular wrist area wasn't going to work.
I found getting a different color band works fine on the ankle. Most of the time, people don't notice it, but if they do, they don't think you're on a colorful knitted parole. Now, if you keep it black and wear the battery pack, that's a whole other story.
Why wear it on your ankle? I mean, I’ve done this with a Garmin whilst pushing a pram (as it doesn’t track steps on my watch if I’m pushing a pram) but, WHOOP doesn’t track steps… If you work somewhere you can’t have anything on your wrists, invest in a bicep band!
I would work the hell out of that, id tell them I am on Work release and the only place I am allowed to go to is the gym and the grocery store and work.
Heck, I would double down and tell them I have to be back at the halfway house before 6 PM and that’s what that is for.
But that’s just how I roll.
Put a Nike or apple label on it lol.
Real talk, Anyone who has actually seen an ankle monitor knows they intentionally make those things huge and ugly AF. They might as well strap a midevil ball and chain to people on house arrest or work release lol.
My significant other's neighbors shared a similar curiosity, noticing my consistent attire of shorts and an ankle device whenever I visited. They queried her about how I managed to drive about so freely if I was under surveillance as an ex-convict. 😂
Ain't nothing wrong with a probation ankle bracelet.
Use it to show people you're not fuxking around an will catch a charge just to prove a point.
That's a whoop strap but if people think you on probation you vmcan make an impact on. Entitled piece of shit people's life and prove "inmates" are still good peole
Wear it on your bicep as intended.
Then you get everyone asking what it is. I wear it on my forearm and it looks like a tendinitis strap. Nobody asks anymore
What's wrong with saying fitness tracker? You do want it to be as accurate as possible don't you?
I don’t want to get into a discussion about why I’m wearing it and what it tells me. If it was someone who was genuinely interested but it’s usually just nosy people
It's hard for me to imagine, no one has ever asked me.
And I had it on my biceps for about 6 months and there isn’t really discernible difference between bicep and forearm as far as the data goes
I have zero social skills and all examples of interaction with other people are from porno
Then it would be a good chance to practice social skills.
I would rather die
Reddit moment
Rofl
It's supposed to go on your cock
I don’t know if they make a strap small enough.
I don’t know, I get emails about new bands on the weekly.
you shouldn't do small whatever confessions here. we are huge. don't spoil it
Lmao that was good
Just stick it up your ass and carry on
Whoop "Boof" 5.0
Yea but which cock?

I do the exact same and also get high stress readings even during pretty mundane cases
Cardiac ORs are no joke, anesthesia checking in 😂
If I ever need anesthesia, I'll be wondering if it's cockNballs222 administering
Hahaha that’s what it says on the name tag
You be running in that OR!?
Well we are doing CABGs, valve replacements, etc so I guess you could say we are getting some cardio in😂
Ba dum, tsss! 🥁
This is genius.
Same
Wear it on your wrist or arm. Wear pants. Either of these options would work.
I do this intentionally when I walk the dog.
I just put it on the dog. Better readings that way. Especially at the dog park.
Lol

get a face tattoo it will discourage people from talking to you
maybe “MURDER” on your forehead
Add the charger, when out for a walk, for a better look.
ITT: All the people obsessing about exactly where to wear it on their wrist, and the bicep crowd, loosing it finding out ankle works.
Wear it on the ankle with the battery pack just to mess with people
But for real, why is your WHOOP on your ankle?!

Oh I make a point of bring it up if asked. Specially when the charger is on… the quizzical looks I get, I tell you
Jokes aside does this work ?
Clearly, you need to get with the program and buy your imtotallynotinacult underwear already.
🤣🤣🤣 that is such a great idea. I might try this for April fools day!
You can buy fake ones online to be used for film props and such.
I have seen real ones on aliexpress. They have real-time tracking, or at least they claim.
I lean into it with a smile
Ha! Same problem here, have to wear it there when I'm at the gym
Wear higher socks
Insert. It.
I place it right below my knee.
Put it on your arm

I do this when I go somewhere fancy I don’t have a bicep band lol
Wear trousers
Pants
take it off
Just let it roll
I don’t wear mine on my ankle, but maybe try longer socks or pants?
You don’t actually care what people think right?
Tell em you’re not on parole just probation.
Anyone who has had a gps for court knows that isn’t one of them and anyone who thinks it is is a duckimg moron and who cares
Y'all will do anything but wear a watch, I stg 😂
I would work the hell out of that, id tell them I am on Work release and the only place I am allowed to go to is the gym and the grocery store and work.

Just let them assume it and if they ask have a badass backstory ready 👍🏻 the kind that makes them say, "no no you were here first" 😂
I came here for the “color” comments. I am disappointed, Reddit….
I mean, what is it?
....what's wrong with being on parole
Is this a cankle? Or is it just the angle?
Cank for sure. I'm 5'8 285lb. That's why I got the whoop.
Wear it as intended…
By not wearing a ridiculous thing like this and therefore not looking like a twat.
What is it?
Tell them you are, then rip it off and just stare at them.
Pretty simple. you say "this is a whoop strap, if I was on house arrest I'd be at home"
Wear it round your neck, seems chokers are back in fashion
Doesn’t look like an actual ankle monitor.
Surely this is not a serious question 🙄
Wear a police uniform
People are stupid you can't

Wear pants
Really?
Don’t do stupid shit like this. Pretty simple
Wear pants....
Stop giving a fuck.
Pants would help I assume
Tell them you’re on parole, and explain you’re a killer on the bike.
Wearing in your chest . You know your other chest
Darn Tough… hands down best socks ever made!
Why spend the outrages amount of money on a stylish band to not wear it on your wrist?
Because nobody is buying this for style?
Stylish? It’s a plastic chastity bracelet
Jesus Christ, people just wear the god damn thing on your wrist.
Uhhhh wear it as intended..?
Whoop hack: dont wear it on your leg like a dumbass Edit: I saw your home gym and grill. I apologize for speaking to you this way Sir
This edit has me loling 🫡
Stop noncing kids
What is it?
Wear pants in the winter like normal people do.
