If you’ve been curious about Whoop, this is a good time to try it out. You can only buy the iconic screenless band if it’s bundled with a year-long subscription, and right now all four tiers of Whoop’s one-year memberships are on sale with an included device. Prices start at $129, which is an all-time low.

Note that this budget offering is the secret fourth tier of membership. Whoop will tell you they offer three tiers of membership: Life, Peak, and One. You can buy these either from their website or through retailers like Amazon. But there’s a difference! While the middle and top tiers are the same wherever you buy them, the lowest tier—called One—comes with an updated 5.0 device if you buy it through a retailer, but an older 4.0 device if you order directly from Whoop. Opting for the older device saves you $50, and the prices for Black Friday deals drop even lower. Here are the offerings:

• Whoop One with the older 4.0 device: $129 (normally $149). This option is only available from Whoop.com.

• Whoop One with a 5.0 device: $179 (normally $199). This option is not available from Whoop.com but can be bought from retailers like Amazon and Best Buy.

• Whoop Peak with a 5.0 device: $199 (normally $239). If you’re confused by all the options, this is the one that makes the most sense for most people.

• Whoop Life with an MG device: $299 (normally $359).

What you’re getting

If you get the subscription with the 4.0 device, the main thing you’re losing is battery life. The Whoop 4.0 has a five-day battery life, but you can charge it with a wireless power pack while you’re wearing it. You can read my review of the Whoop 4.0 here, but note that Whoop only had one subscription option when I wrote that review. The One subscription does not support the health monitor, stress monitor, or the new Healthspan feature, but you still get Strain and Recovery scores and coaching on your sleep and exercise.

The One membership with a 5.0 device is the same idea, but the 5.0 device can go over two weeks on a single charge. The One subscription only gives you a wired power pack, not the wireless one, so you’ll have to take the device off to charge it. (That said, I prefer to take it off to charge anyway.)

The Peak membership is the regular one, and likely Whoop’s most popular. It’s the one I would recommend to most people, and it comes with a 5.0 device, which I reviewed here. You get all the features the One subscription is missing, and the current price of $199 is a definite bargain.

The Life membership with an MG device is Whoop’s premium offering, and if I may offer an opinion: It’s not worth it. For the extra $100/year (normally an extra $120/year) you only get a few things, none of them particularly useful. These include blood pressure estimates, which don’t seem to be particularly reliable, and which the FDA has asked Whoop to remove because Whoop is not a medical device (even though they call it the “medical grade” model). Life also gives you ECG readings, which are a standard feature on much cheaper smartwatches and fitness trackers these days. And if you’re outside the U.S., you can get irregular heart rhythm notifications.

If you decide you like Whoop after trying the One membership and want to upgrade to the Peak membership, you can upgrade at any time, paying an extra fee to account for the difference in price between the two. 

You can read here what I thought of Whoop after using it for a while. The app is really thoughtfully designed, with analytics and insights that help you align your training and recovery with your goals—something that no other device or app really does quite as well. It’s a pricey subscription, but I totally get why it’s worth it to many people. 

How long do Black Friday deals really last?

Black Friday sales officially begin Friday, November 28, 2025, and run throughout “Cyber Week,” the five-day period that runs from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025. But Black Friday and Cyber Monday dates have expanded as retailers compete for customers. You can get the same Black Friday sales early, and we expect sales to wind down by December 3, 2025.

Are Black Friday deals worth it?

In short, yes, Black Friday still offers discounts that can be rare throughout the rest of the year. If there’s something you want to buy, or you’re shopping for gifts, it’s a good time to look for discounts on what you need, especially tech sales, home improvement supplies, and fitness tech. Of course, if you need to save money, the best way to save is to not buy anything. 

Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?

Black Friday used to be bigger for major retailers and more expensive tech and appliances, while Cyber Monday was for cheaper tech and gave smaller businesses a chance to compete online. Nowadays, though, distinction is almost meaningless. Every major retailer will offer sales on both days, and the smart move is to know what you want, use price trackers or refer to guides like our live blog that use price trackers for you, and don’t stress over finding the perfect timing.
