Prime Day is the one event where fitness gear worth keeping actually drops to a price worth acting on, and the WHOOP 5.0 is the clearest example this year. Amazon has dropped it to $299, down from its $359 list price, which matches the all-time low last seen at Black Friday, and includes a 12-month membership, the WHOOP MG device, a SuperKnit Luxe band, and a waterproof Wireless PowerPack. This is a Prime Day deal behind the Prime paywall, but the 30-day trial needs no card to activate.

The fitness tracker that refuses to be a smartwatch
The WHOOP 5.0 has no screen. No notifications, no step counts displayed on your wrist, no reason to glance at it during a meeting or a workout. That’s a deliberate design choice, not a cost cut: WHOOP’s entire philosophy is built around continuous background monitoring without pulling your attention. The result is a device that sits on your wrist around the clock and sends everything it knows to the app, where you actually have time to process it.
What it monitors is extensive. Heart rate runs every second of every day using photoplethysmography and bioimpedance sensors. Sleep tracking covers not just duration but sleep stages, disturbances, and recovery quality. The Real-time Stress Monitor identifies physiological stress markers and shows how your body responds to specific situations throughout the day. Daily blood pressure insights deliver systolic and diastolic estimates from overnight analysis, and the Heart Screener provides on-demand ECG readings to check for signs of atrial fibrillation directly from your wrist.
