Whoop MG
The screenless band with a real ECG. The blood pressure number is a different story.
The MG is the medical-grade tier of the Whoop 5.0 platform — same screenless band, same 14-day swappable battery — with ECG contacts built into the clasp of its strap. That ECG holds a genuine FDA clearance covering on-demand recordings and overnight irregular rhythm notifications, which makes it the only screenless band that can legitimately screen for AFib. Blood Pressure Insights is the part to be careful about: it estimates daily systolic and diastolic values after a cuff calibration, has never been cleared, drew an FDA warning letter in 2025, and only survived once Whoop stripped the normal/elevated labelling and reframed it as wellness data. Treat it as a trend, not a reading. The hardware is free; you are buying the $359/year Life membership.

Common questions
- How much does the Whoop MG cost?
- The Whoop MG has no separate hardware price — it comes with the Whoop membership at $29.92/mo.

- Yes. The Whoop MG needs an active Whoop membership at $29.92/month — without it the device stops reporting your data.

- About 14 days of typical use per charge. Heavy GPS use, an always-on display, and continuous sensing all pull that number down.

- Whoop released the Whoop MG in 2025, and it is still in the current lineup.
