Peloton's stock traded at a magical $125 in mid-2021, when people were trapped in their homes and wanted the exercise experience they had in the gym. By October 2022, the stock dropped to $7. It was down to $4 shortly after that, and has not improved by much more than a dime.
"They're everyday professionals who simply don't have the time to shop the traditional way," said Kneen about J. Hilburn customers. Instead, stylists manage fit, fabrics and wardrobe planning, effectively outsourcing the entire process for busy professionals.

Petal is a bra insert that uses bio-impedance sensors and electrical measurements to monitor blood flow near the heart. Because wearers position the insert right next to the heart, the device can capture more accurate readings than your typical smartwatch, Petal says.

We use the IMU sensors to detect which exercise the user is performing and identify the period engaging in concentric, eccentric, or isometric hold. These are the three main types of lifting exercises; you might know them as contracting, lengthening, or static exercises. The Fort uses the wrist as a proxy for bar velocity, and the company is seeking FDA clearance and will also be pursuing large, third-party studies from independent labs.
Wellune looks like a small, sculptural lamp. A slender white stem curves upward from a flat circular base, blooming into a soft, rounded head that sits somewhere between a sprouting bud and a modernist desk light. The head detaches magnetically, which is a lovely detail because it turns setup into something almost playful. You hold this smooth, egg-like dome in your hand, place it on the stem, and it clicks into position with a satisfying connection.
If there's one thing that stops people using their smart rings over the long term, it's the battery life. After all, they're so unobtrusive, it's easy to forget to drop it on the charging plate every few days. It doesn't take long for your pricey gadget to become little more than a very expensive piece of jewelry.
The smartwatch got smaller. Then the smart ring arrived. Now Rogbid has released something that splits the difference and costs less than a nice dinner: the Fusion, a hybrid device that looks like someone shrunk a fitness tracker and stuck it on a ring band.

This piece walks you through what happened, why it happened, and what it says about where tennis sits with athlete data right now.
Natural Cycles, the company behind a controversial FDA-cleared birth control app, is replacing its thermometer with a wristband that measures skin temperature, heart rate, and movement during sleep. The newly-launched wristband costs $129.99 and syncs with the Natural Cycles app, which uses an algorithm to determine a person's "daily fertility status." Users can already track their fertility by pairing an Apple Watch or Oura Ring with Natural Cycles, but the wristband could be an option for users who don't have either of these devices handy.
