Hello, Amazon Prime Day. It's that time of year where we shop around looking for the best deals on fitness tech and apparel in a bid to save you some of your hard-earned dollars. You might be thinking now is the time to jump onto the best fitness trackers, and you could be right.

We've been hands-on with the Whoop 5.0 screenless fitness tracker, which promises better sleep alongside accurate health, fitness, sleep and recovery tracking, as well as neat insights into women's health and aging.

With this deal, you can save $50 on Whoop's mid-tier Peak membership option and get more bang for your buck during Prime Day. Shop below.

Whoop Peak usually costs $239/£229 per year. It’s the mid-tier option and includes the Whoop 5.0 tracker with the SuperKnit band. You also get a wireless charger and all the features of the One membership, plus Healthspan (Whoop’s new feature with Whoop Age and Pace of Aging), Health Monitor and Stress Monitor. You won't, however, get ECG or blood pressure readings unless you have Whoop MG.

As you most likely know, Whoop 5.0 is a screenless band, and you can wear it in multiple places, like in a sports bra, which diversifies your data capture. The wearable has sensors for heart rate, SpO2 and skin temperature, plus an accelerometer and gyroscope.

It's also water resistant for up to 10 meters, has 14 days of battery life and is compatible with Android and iOS.

Whoop focuses on three key color-coded pillars: recovery, strain and sleep. But be warned, unless you really know what you're looking at, you get an awful lot of data, which can be overwhelming for some in-app.

With your purchase, you’ll get the Whoop 5.0 tracker and wireless charger with the SuperKnit band, as well as access to the foundational Whoop experience. This includes sleep and strain data, recovery, core activity tracking, including steps, VO2 max data, and women’s hormonal insights. You also get stress monitoring and the Healthspan feature, which looks at and interprets data around longevity and aging.

Whoop can also auto detect workouts, and our tester Jane McGuire found it to be pretty accurate when detecting a run during testing. If you’re an athlete or a more data-centric person, the Whoop 5.0 might well be the screenless fitness tracker for you.

The only difference between the Whoop 5.0 and Whoop MG in terms of design is that the latter has the ECG functionalities built into the clasp — to do an ECG reading, you place the fingers of your opposite hand against the indent. The Whoop 5.0 doesn't have these.
