WHOOP Meridian Is Wearable Health Tech Made for Life Beyond the Gym
Meet WHOOP Meridian, a screenless health tracker designed to go from the gym to the office and weddings without looking out of place.
In partnership with 
We hate to break it to you, but your body is always keeping score – whether you're tracking it or not.
While you're working out, sleeping, and socialising, there's a lot happening under the surface. So, taking off your fitness tracker for sartorial reasons like a wedding or formal event means leaving gaps in the overall picture of your health.
WHOOP, a wearable health-tech company known for its precise, screenless tracker, has been addressing this issue for over a decade. They offer a wearable health tracking option for every moment, and the latest release, WHOOP Meridian, means that whether you're heading to a wedding, after-work drinks, or a day in the office, your performance tech can look as good as the rest of your outfit.
Made from waterproof stainless-steel Milanese mesh, Meridian draws on the elegance of classic timepieces and vintage jewellery while maintaining a sleek, contemporary silhouette. Available in Gold, Rose Gold, Silver/Alloy and Matte Black, it's designed to be worn alone or stacked alongside your everyday jewellery, with a colour finish to complement the pieces already in your rotation. While you might usually take off your jewellery to exercise, Meridian's customisable fit and fluid feel mean it can stay on from workout to wine bar, and everywhere in between.
The other style choices are: SuperKnit, WHOOP's simple, signature woven band suitable for most activities; CloudKnit, fine-gauge cashmere ideal for cosy home-wear; CoreKnit, a lightweight, antimicrobial and quick-drying band for high-performance activities; Navigator, reinforced and quick-drying for outdoor terrain; LeatherLuxe, elevated genuine Italian leather for special occasions; and SportFlex, sweatproof, durable, ventilated soft-touch silicone for workouts.
Meridian is for those wanting an option that looks like a bracelet or wristwatch but has all the clever features that WHOOP is known for. Its screenless design makes it look even more jewellery-like. Plus, you won't be distracted by notifications about your health stats. WHOOP collects physiological information in the background and turns it into insights that you can review in your own time on the mobile app.
The key health metrics monitored include heart rate, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen, skin temperature, sleep, activity, strain, stress and recovery. These numbers tell you whether you're sufficiently recovered before a hard workout, how much sleep you need that night, when you might need to dial things back and how everyday habits (including alcohol and caffeine) are affecting you.
WHOOP's Healthspan feature also taps into your longevity by calculating your WHOOP Age and assessing whether your body is ageing faster or slower than your chronological age. Rather than longevity being an abstract goal, it gives you a measurable way to see how your everyday choices add up over time.
We all know a one-size-fits-all approach to health doesn't cut it, and fitness extends far beyond the gym. WHOOP can help you understand your unique body, and the new Meridian design allows you to do it all without sacrificing your style.
WHOOP Meridian is available now for $229 AUD.
