The England squad wore this fitness tracker, and it’s £40 off for Prime Day

As we enter the final stretch of the Amazon Prime Day 2026, there are still plenty of great discounts to score. Having covered Prime Day, Black Friday and just about every major sale event in between for close to a decade, I've spent the past few days sorting the good value deals from the flashy price cuts that aren't quite as impressive as they appear at first.

For fitness and wellbeing fans, there’s £40 off the Whoop 5.0. The screen-free fitness tracker has become popular among elite athletes and serious fitness enthusiasts alike, and eagle-eyed football fans may have noticed several England players wearing Whoop bands while warming up ahead of the recent World Cup clash with Ghana.

Unlike a traditional smartwatch, Whoop is less interested in notifications and step counts and more focused on what your body is doing behind the scenes. By analysing metrics linked to sleep, strain, recovery and stress, it aims to help you make smarter decisions about when to push harder and when to prioritise rest.

With a discount on the device currently available for Prime members, if you’ve been thinking about investing in the wearable tech for yourself, now could be the time to snap up a saving.

When The Independent's former fitness and wellbeing editor Emilie Lavinia reviewed the Whoop 5.0, she called it “the best health coach you'll find outside of a human being”, praising its exceptional battery life, detailed recovery insights and ability to turn complex health data into routine-changing advice.

The screen-free wearable tracks sleep, strain, recovery and VO2 max, helping athletes and regular users better understand how their bodies are responding to training, stress and rest. As a CrossFitter, I’m a big fan myself and have been wearing a Whoop for several years to help improve my cardio load and recover for future sessions.

Right now, you can save on Whoop peak and the Whoop life for Prime Day, with the peak reduced in price to £189, and the life down to £289. For those that don’t know, 'Whoop peak' is the more fitness-focused option, giving you access to the brand’s core tracking features, including sleep, recovery, strain, heart-rate monitoring and personalised training insights. 'Whoop life' includes all of the same performance and recovery tools but adds a suite of advanced health features, such as ECG readings, blood pressure insights and health-span tracking. This makes it the better fit for anyone who wants a broader picture of their long-term wellbeing alongside their fitness data.
