Professional Reviews
3 reviews from 3 critics“The Loop is more limited than the Whoop 5.0, as it lacks sensors for skin temperature and blood oxygen levels, and doesn’t offer as much holistic advice or long-term health tracking, but it's certainly a compelling alternative when it comes to cost.”
“but for now, this isn’t quite the Whoop-killer you may be hoping for.”
