If you’ve been curious about Whoop, now’s the time to try it. This iconic screenless wristband is only available as a bundle with an annual subscription. Currently, all four Whoop annual subscription levels are available with the device included. Prices start at $129, an all-time low.
Note that this budget deal is a secret fourth membership tier . Whoop will tell you that it offers three membership tiers: Life, Peak, and One. You can purchase them both on their website and at retailers like Amazon. But there’s a difference! While the mid-tier and top tiers are the same no matter where you buy them, the lowest tier, called One, includes an upgraded 5.0 device when purchased through a retailer and an older 4.0 device when ordered directly from Whoop. Choosing the older device saves you $50, and Black Friday sales will get you even lower. Here are the deals:
-
Whoop One with an older 4.0 device : $129 (regular price: $149). This option is only available at Whoop.com.
-
Whoop One with 5.0 Device : $179 (regular price: $199). This option is not available on Whoop.com, but is available at retailers like Amazon and Best Buy.
-
Whoop Peak with 5.0 Device : $199 (regular price $239). If you’re overwhelmed by the variety of options, this one will be the best fit for most people.
-
Whoop Life with MG Device : $299 (regular price $359).
What you get
If you purchase a subscription along with the 4.0 device, the main thing you’ll lose is battery life. The Whoop 4.0 lasts five days, but you can charge it wirelessly without removing it. You can read my Whoop 4.0 review here , but keep in mind that at the time of writing, Whoop only had one subscription option. The One subscription doesn’t support health monitoring, stress monitoring, or the new Healthspan feature, but you still get stress and recovery metrics, as well as sleep and workout recommendations.
The One subscription with a 5.0 device works the same way, but the 5.0 device can last over two weeks without recharging. The One subscription only includes a wired battery, not a wireless one, so you’ll have to remove the device to charge. (Although I still prefer to remove it to charge.)
The Peak subscription is the standard and perhaps the most popular plan on Whoop. It’s the one I’d recommend to most people. It includes the 5.0 device, which I reviewed here . You get all the features not included in the One subscription, and its current price of $199 is definitely a good deal.
The Life subscription with the MG device is Whoop’s premium offering, and if I may offer my opinion: it’s not worth it. For an extra $100 per year (normally $120 per year), you only get a few features, none of which are particularly useful. Specifically, the blood pressure monitor, which doesn’t seem to be very reliable and which the FDA required Whoop to remove because it isn’t a medical device (despite being labeled a “medical-grade” model). Life also provides you with ECG readings, which are a standard feature on much cheaper smartwatches and fitness trackers these days. And if you’re outside the US, you can receive alerts about irregular heart rhythms.
If, after trying the One subscription, you decide you like Whoop and want to upgrade to a Peak subscription, you can do so at any time by paying an additional fee to cover the price difference between the two options.
You can read my thoughts on Whoop here after using it for a while . The app is truly well-designed, with analytics and tips that help you align your training and recovery with your goals—something no other device or app does as well. The subscription is expensive, but I can clearly see why it’s worth it for many.
How long do Black Friday deals actually last?
Black Friday sales officially begin on Friday, November 28, 2025, and will run throughout Cyber Week—the five-day period from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. However, the dates of Black Friday and Cyber Monday have been shifted as retailers compete for shoppers. You can take advantage of the same Black Friday deals early in the season , and we expect the sale to end by December 3, 2025.
Are Black Friday deals worth it?
In short, yes, Black Friday still offers deals you rarely see the rest of the year. If you’re shopping or looking for gifts, now is the time to look for deals on essentials, especially tech , home goods , and fitness equipment . Of course, if you’re looking to save money, the best way to save is to buy nothing.
Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?
Black Friday used to favor large retailers and higher-end appliances, while Cyber Monday favored cheaper appliances and gave small businesses a chance to compete online. However, today, this distinction has become virtually meaningless. Every major retailer runs sales on both days, so it’s best to know what you need, use price trackers, or consult guides like our blog , which uses price trackers, and not worry about finding the perfect time.
