A fashionable facelift for Whoop’s fitness tracker.

The new $149 Meridian Band is a jewelry-inspired housing for the fifth-generation Whoop wearable that’s designed to make it look less like a boring gadget. The band is made from Milanese mesh and comes in a choice of black, silver, gold, and rose gold. You have to remove it to charge the device, however. [Image: The Meridian Band is expensive for a health tracker strap, but Whoop’s subscription model isn’t exactly cheap anyway. https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/08/PDP_Meridian_Gold_1-NRq7e3pT.jpeg?quality=90&strip=all]
