Choose the Right WHOOP 5.0 Band: SuperKnit Luxe and SportFlex From LUXE MORE

A LUXE MORE band guide organized by device model: WHOOP 5.0 works with SuperKnit Luxe or SportFlex, while WHOOP MG uses SportFlex and can take ECG readings on the MG. Check charm compatibility before ordering.

Check the device model before choosing a color because the bands currently available to order online from LUXE MORE support different models. SuperKnit Luxe works with WHOOP 5.0. SportFlex works with both WHOOP 5.0 and WHOOP MG, and the SportFlex clasp supports ECG readings on the MG. These are the compatibility rules for products sold by the store, not a conclusion that applies to every band brand.

Two Band Lines Are Available Now

The band lines currently available to order online are SuperKnit Luxe and SportFlex. The word “currently” matters: Meridian, SuperKnit, Leather Luxe, and CloudKnit are not in the present orderable catalogue, but that does not mean the store has discontinued them permanently. If they return, check the supported device models on the product page again.

Both lines are third-party bands sold as bands only, without a WHOOP device. Gold, Titanium, and Rose Gold are clasp color names, not statements about the metal type.

Start With the Device Model

If you use WHOOP 5.0, you can choose SuperKnit Luxe or SportFlex. If you use WHOOP MG, choose SportFlex only. Its clasp has the contact points required for ECG readings, so the ECG function works on the MG. Under the store's current product rules, SuperKnit Luxe is not an option for the MG.

WHOOP 4.0 does not work with either band line because it uses a different attachment system. If you are unsure which device you have, check the device model directly in the app's device information or the device documentation. Do not use the membership package name as a substitute for the device model.

  • WHOOP 5.0: SuperKnit Luxe or SportFlex
  • WHOOP MG: SportFlex, with ECG readings supported
  • WHOOP 4.0: Neither of these two band lines is compatible

Choose by Look and Charms

SuperKnit Luxe suits days when you want the band to be part of the outfit. It offers multiple combinations of band and clasp colors and works with charms the store identifies as compatible, making it suitable for changing small details on your wrist without changing the device.

SportFlex has a sportier look and cleaner lines, but it cannot use any of the store's charm collections. If you use WHOOP MG and want charms, note that the store's current MG-compatible band is SportFlex, which does not support charms.

Check Again Before Ordering

Stock and color availability can change, so rely on the product page status on the day you order. Read the model name, what the listing includes, and the compatibility statement for that specific item. Do not treat a styled image containing a device or charms as evidence that those items are included with the band.

Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Band

Which Bands Can I Choose for WHOOP MG?

You can choose SportFlex, and it can take ECG readings on the MG because the clasp has the contact points required for the function. SuperKnit Luxe works with WHOOP 5.0 only.

Can the SportFlex Band Use Charms?

No. The store's charms do not support SportFlex. If you want charms, choose SuperKnit Luxe for WHOOP 5.0 and check the page for the specific charm again.

Do Both Band Lines Work With WHOOP 4.0?

No. WHOOP 4.0 uses a different band attachment system from WHOOP 5.0 and WHOOP MG.

Will the Store Always Have Only These Two Lines?

No. SuperKnit Luxe and SportFlex are the two lines available to order online when this information was prepared. Other lines may return, so check the current catalogue before ordering.
