#WHOOP must be doing something right, now that #Google and #Garmin are copying them.

So has Polar and Amazfit. The form factor (screen less) is what Whoop got right.

What's more important though is that all of the non-Whoop devices are subscription free (all have optional subscriptions, but the basic functionality is all free).

It'll be interesting to see how Whoop adjusts (or doesn't adjust) their business model. Because while they got the form factor right, it seems that subscription free is what people actually want.
