Original vs compatible WHOOP bands: what you actually get

Walk through our band collections and you will see two labels: a black ORIGINAL and a blue VHUB COMPATIBLE. They are different products, and we never sell one as the other.

Original bands

Made by WHOOP — SportFlex, SuperKnit, CloudKnit, CoreKnit, Navigator, the Luxe and LeatherLuxe lines and Meridian. They arrive brand new and sealed, exactly as WHOOP packs them. Choose original if you want WHOOP's own materials and finish.

VHUB compatible bands

Our own range, built to fit the tracker named in each title, at a lower price. They are not made by WHOOP, and each listing says so plainly: "Compatible, not original". Choose compatible if you want a spare band, a second colour or a different style without paying for an original.

How to tell them apart on our site

• Every product card says ORIGINAL or VHUB COMPATIBLE above the name.
• Every product page repeats it next to the brand, with the tracker the band fits.
• You can shop each range on its own: original WHOOP bands or VHUB compatible bands.

Both are covered

Original or compatible, you can return a band that is still sealed within 14 days of delivery, and a faulty or wrong item within 30 days — replacement or refund, your choice. Read the refund policy.
