Fitness tracking just got stylish as Fitbit rival unveils new band
Fitness trackers have had a stylish makeover as Whoop unveils its new Meridian band, designed to look more like jewellery than traditional sportswear. The 5.0 Meridian Band is available from Whoop for £119 - and it comes in four different colours.
TL;DR
- Whoop releases the 5.0 Meridian Band, priced at £119, with a focus on stylish, jewelry-like design.
- The band features a Milanese mesh construction in four colors: matte black, gold, rose gold, and alloy.
- It aims to make health tracking feel more like an accessory than a piece of technology.
- The Meridian band uses premium metal construction, with potential for surface marks over time.
- Care instructions involve using a microfiber cloth and mild soap solution.
- Other fitness tracker options mentioned include the Google FitBit Air (£84.99) and Google FitBit Inspire 3 (on sale for £58.99).
- A key consideration for Whoop is the mandatory subscription for its tracking features, in addition to the band's purchase price.
