How to Find a Lost WHOOP Strap?

Losing your WHOOP strap is no fun. If you suspect you have misplaced your go-to fitness tracker, here is a useful guide for you to find your lost WHOOP in no time. So, without wasting time, let’s investigate the possible solutions; we know you are in a hurry.

How to Find a Lost WHOOP Strap?

Here are some practical methods to find a lost WHOOP strap. 

Check the WHOOP App

Open the WHOOP app and check whether your WHOOP strap is still connected. If it is, it says that your fitness tracker is within the Bluetooth range of your device, meaning you are not far away from the device. 

Third-party Apps

There are third-party apps called “Find my Bluetooth device apps” that help find lost devices, such as WHOOP. “Find My Bluetooth Device” and “Wunderfind” are two cool apps you can use to locate your lost WHOOP.

These apps show the proximity of the device depending on your device’s Bluetooth connection. Most of these apps are free, and you can download and install them from your device’s respective app store. 

Once you download and install the app, it will scan for nearby Bluetooth devices. You can select WHOOP from the list and move closer until you locate the lost WHOOP. There will be an indicator showing whether you are moving close or away from the device you want. 

So, if the lost WHOOP is around you, it is just a walk in the park to find it using these third-party apps. 

However, the battery of your WHOOP plays a huge role when using Bluetooth apps to find it. If it is low on battery, you have limited time to find it. So, you better hurry up!

Search Common Places

Many users find their lost WHOOP Strap in places like under couch cushions, behind furniture, in gym bags, or in the car. These places are more likely to hide small devices such as fitness trackers, jewelry, and smart rings.

So, if you think your WHOOP is turned off due to a low battery, these are the places you should pay close attention to. Considering the fact that there is no GPS on WHOOP straps, you should try to recall the last place to make the search process easier. 

Contact WHOOP

If nothing above works, your last destination would be to contact WHOOP and tell your story. They can provide guidance on replacement or additional steps to take.

Can I Get a Replacement If I Lost My WHOOP?

Although WHOOP does provide its users with a lifetime warranty, it does not include covering theft and loss. You will have to purchase a new WHOOP strap. However, the replacement comes only with the sensor, and you will have to purchase the WHOOP battery pack separately. 

Preventive Measures to Avoid Losing Your WHOOP Strap

Here are some preventive measures to try to avoid losing your WHOOP strap. Some of these will help you trace a WHOOP if it goes missing as well. 

Use a Secure Band

Ensure your WHOOP Strap fits snugly on your wrist. This will prevent it from falling off during activities. However, wearing it too tight will lead to other problems like leaving marks on the hand, bruises, or irritation. 

Establish a Routine

If you develop a routine to place your WHOOP after you take it off, be it at your gym, office, or home, the chances are minimal for it to get misplaced. This can be easier said than done at the start, but mark our words; it always works in the long run.

Use a Bluetooth Tracker

Another cool step we suggest is attaching a small Bluetooth tracker on the strap as an additional layer of protection. It will help you to find the WHOOP if it goes missing. Apple AirTag and Tile are two such devices you can consider. 

A Good Backup Plan Can be Helpful

If possible, keep an additional charger near you, like in your car or at your office. This will keep you from removing the WHOOP strap at places where finding it will become hard if lost.

In addition, having an additional charger in places where you trust will keep the WHOOP’s battery from getting low. We hope you remember that we mentioned finding a battery-drained lost WHOOP is not the easiest job in the world. 

Can I Still Access My Fitness Data If I Lose My WHOOP Strap?

Yes, you can still access your previously collected fitness data even if you lose your WHOOP Strap. The data collected in the WHOOP app will remain unharmed, and you will be able to access it.

However, you won’t be able to collect new data since you lost your WHOOP. You will have to find or get a replacement and pair it again to collect new data. 

How Long Does the Battery Last on a WHOOP Strap If It’s Lost?

Usually, the WHOOP battery lasts for 4-5 days after a full charge. So, you will have to figure out the last recharged date and get an idea about how long the WHOOP battery will last if it is lost. Without the Bluetooth connection, it will be very difficult for you to locate your device.

Conclusion

If your WHOOP strap is lost, the best method available at the point of writing this article is to use a third-party “Find my Bluetooth device apps” such as Wunderfind. In addition, as we emphasized a few times throughout the article, start looking for the lost WHOOP as soon as possible because finding a lost WHOOP without battery is difficult. 

If not, you will have to bank on manual methods to locate the device, which can be painstaking and frustrating. Please share this article to help a buddy. Have a great day!
