Pacing during phone calls rivals all strain activities.
Been wearing Whoop since the earliest days. Many years of use and familiarity with the product and data. I wear it properly, never had an issue with bad sensor feedback.
Recently my Whoop started registering Strength training to a more appropriate strain score than the past. It wasnt a huge deal to me but I was happy with the change.
Then my Whoop started registering 10+ strain scores after phone conversations. I realized that I walk around and pace during these convos and thats what it was picking up on, but the scores are humorously high.
I run about 30 miles a week and I lift weights 5x a week, so this isnt really a score related to having low cardio fitness.
Ill try to do a better verification of heart rate soon but truthfully its not that important to me as long as the actual fitness activities still register in an appropriate range. Cant think of anything else that could be causing I it. I mostly use speakerphone on long talks so its not about wrist action. Idk.
Just wanted to share cause it keeps making me laugh when I get a notification after a phone call. Is this happening to anyone else?
