Whoop faced backlash for reneging on a promise of free hardware upgrades for users of its Whoop 5.0 fitness tracker.
Initially, users were misled about the upgrade eligibility, with confusion arising from conflicting messaging on the requirements.
Following the criticism, Whoop revised its policy, now offering free upgrades to Whoop 5.0 for users with over 12 months remaining in their memberships.
Despite the adjustments, some users remain dissatisfied, viewing the situation as a change in policy rather than a correction of misinformation.
