WHOOP

QALO launched the $199.95 SL-1 Smart Band, pairing with its existing smart ring in one app, without the ECG and blood pressure sensors its own FCC filing described.

Apple hasn't decided to ship it, and Bloomberg's reporting puts any release in 2028 at the earliest, so the Apple Watch stays Apple's only fitness wearable for years yet.

Live Rewind, Siri Recap and Readiness all arrive later, so the watch on sale today is a better sensor and a step counter.

Whoop's November update guesses your one-rep max from sets you already log, and finally lets the Journal track behaviours it never thought of.

September for the health software is a bet on Apple’s habit of holding watch features for the fall, not a date anyone reported.

The FCC paperwork puts WM50 on Whoop MG hardware with the NFC subsystem stripped out. The photos stay sealed until November 11.

The Meridian makes a Whoop look like jewelry, and it costs $149 before the membership. The metal mesh stops the on-wrist charger from working, so the tracker has to come off.

Garmin’s $200 screenless band carries the same sensor set as a Whoop. Two weeks in, Dana Wollman was not convinced Garmin understands the category.
