WHOOP MG Overview
WHOOP MG is WHOOP’s most advanced current sensor and is built for members who want the company’s deepest health and heart-health feature set in a screen-free wearable. It combines WHOOP’s continuous Sleep, Strain and Recovery platform with dedicated ECG-ready hardware and WHOOP Life features.
Official WHOOP support information lists dimensions of 34.7 × 24 × 10.6 mm, a weight of approximately 27.3 g, and IP68 water resistance up to 10 meters. WHOOP says the generation is about 7% smaller than WHOOP 4.0.
The key hardware difference from WHOOP 5.0 is the conductive clasp and built-in ECG-ready contact pads. When WHOOP MG is worn on the wrist with an ECG-compatible conductive band, those contacts enable WHOOP’s Heart Screener workflow with on-demand ECG readings and AFib screening in supported regions.
WHOOP MG is included with WHOOP Life, which adds Blood Pressure Insights and the medical-grade Heart Screener feature set on top of the features available through WHOOP Peak.
Design & Wearability
WHOOP MG keeps the same compact, screen-free philosophy as WHOOP 5.0. The sensor is designed for continuous wear rather than on-device interaction, with most analysis and coaching delivered in the WHOOP app.
At approximately 27.3 g, WHOOP MG is slightly heavier than WHOOP 5.0 because its clasp contains the conductive components required for ECG signal acquisition. The body measures 34.7 × 24 × 10.6 mm.
WHOOP MG is physically compatible with WHOOP 5.0 bands, but ECG-based Heart Screener features require a band with a conductive clasp. WHOOP states that MG ships with a SuperKnit Luxe band designed for ECG use. WHOOP MG also supports compatible WHOOP Body apparel, although Heart Screener must be used on the wrist with an ECG-compatible band.
Heart Health & Medical-Grade Features
This is the defining part of WHOOP MG. WHOOP MG adds hardware that standard WHOOP 5.0 does not have, allowing members on WHOOP Life to access Heart Screener with on-demand ECG readings and on-demand AFib Detection in regions where those regulated features are available.
WHOOP Life also includes Blood Pressure Insights, a wellness feature that estimates systolic and diastolic blood pressure ranges using overnight data after calibration with a traditional cuff. WHOOP explicitly states that Blood Pressure Insights is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose or manage medical conditions.
Heart Screener
Provides on-demand ECG readings using the conductive clasp and an ECG-compatible band.
On-Demand AFib Detection
Uses the ECG workflow to screen for potential signs of atrial fibrillation where the feature is approved.
Blood Pressure Insights
Provides daily estimated systolic and diastolic ranges after calibration and overnight analysis.
Healthspan
WHOOP Life includes Peak’s Healthspan tools, including WHOOP Age and Pace of Aging.
ECG-ready conductive contacts
WHOOP MG’s clasp includes the conductive hardware required for ECG signal acquisition. This is the principal hardware difference between WHOOP MG and WHOOP 5.0.
- On-demand ECG readings
- On-demand AFib Detection
- ECG-compatible conductive band required
- Blood Pressure Insights through WHOOP Life
- Heart-health features subject to regional eligibility
WHOOP notes that ECG is not intended for users under 22, people with known arrhythmias other than AFib, or users with certain implanted electronic devices such as pacemakers or ICDs. The feature is medically regulated and is not available in every region. Blood Pressure Insights has separate eligibility limits and remains a wellness feature rather than a diagnostic tool.
Sleep, Recovery & Strain
WHOOP MG does not replace the standard WHOOP performance experience; it adds to it. Because WHOOP Life includes everything in WHOOP Peak, MG members retain Sleep, Strain and Recovery insights, personalized coaching, VO2 Max estimates, heart-rate zones, step tracking and Women’s Hormonal Insights.
WHOOP’s core value remains the relationship between training load, sleep and readiness. The app uses continuous biometric data to show how activity, rest and lifestyle behaviors affect recovery over time.
Recovery
Daily physiological readiness context built from continuous biometric data.
Sleep
Sleep tracking and coaching are central to the WHOOP experience and feed directly into Recovery.
Strain
Tracks cardiovascular and musculoskeletal load across training and daily activity.
Fitness Metrics
Includes step tracking, VO2 Max estimates, heart-rate zones and automatic activity detection.
Performance + longevity + advanced heart health
WHOOP Life combines the fitness and longevity features of Peak with MG-specific cardiovascular features, making MG the fullest current WHOOP hardware-and-membership package.
The key reason to choose MG over 5.0 is therefore not better basic Sleep, Strain or Recovery tracking, but access to the additional heart-health hardware and WHOOP Life features.
Battery Life & Charging
WHOOP rates WHOOP MG for 14+ days of battery life. WHOOP MG ships with the Wireless PowerPack, which allows the sensor to charge while it remains on the wrist. The Basic Charger can also be used for off-wrist charging.

Charge WHOOP MG without interrupting your data
The Wireless PowerPack slides onto the sensor and is designed to maintain continuous wear while charging. WHOOP MG uses the same current-generation charging system as WHOOP 5.0.
WHOOP MG is IP68 and can be worn during swimming and other wet activities within WHOOP’s stated limits. WHOOP advises that ECG readings should be taken dry. The Wireless PowerPack is IP68, while the Basic Charger is IP54.

WHOOP Life, Healthspan & Coaching
WHOOP MG is tied directly to WHOOP Life, the company’s highest current membership tier. Life includes everything in WHOOP Peak plus MG hardware and the advanced cardiovascular features.
That means MG members also receive Healthspan, WHOOP Age, Pace of Aging, Health Monitor with health alerts, the real-time Stress Monitor, personalized coaching and the full Sleep, Strain and Recovery experience.
WHOOP App
The app is the main interface for scores, trends, heart-health features, coaching and long-term analysis.
Healthspan
WHOOP Life includes WHOOP Age and Pace of Aging for long-term health and longevity context.
Health Monitor & Stress
Life includes Peak’s Health Monitor with alerts and real-time Stress Monitor.
App Integrations
WHOOP supports integrations including Apple Health, Health Connect, Strava and Natural Cycles.
The fullest current WHOOP experience
Life combines Peak’s performance and longevity features with WHOOP MG’s ECG-capable hardware, AFib screening and Blood Pressure Insights.
WHOOP MG therefore makes the most sense for people who want the standard WHOOP performance ecosystem plus the company’s deepest current heart-health and longevity feature set.
WHOOP MG Strengths & Limitations
WHOOP MG’s strongest differentiator is its advanced cardiovascular hardware and WHOOP Life feature set. Its main trade-offs are the premium membership cost, regional and eligibility limitations around regulated features, and the same screen-free philosophy that defines the broader WHOOP platform.
What WHOOP MG does well
- Heart Screener with ECGDedicated conductive contacts enable on-demand ECG readings with an ECG-compatible band.
- On-demand AFib DetectionMG supports WHOOP’s medically regulated AFib screening workflow in supported regions.
