Learning from our communication mistakes yesterday, here’s a retake on our HR benchmarking study:
Temple tracks heart rate more accurately than standard-wear ECG chest straps in Zones 4 & 5.
A Polar H10 chest strap is considered to be the ECG-based gold standard for industry benchmarks. However, when we put it to test, we saw drops in readings. We wanted a more accurate reference for ourselves. We therefore taped the chest strap to each participant to avoid any drops due to motion or contact loss, which worked.
We then compared Temple with five existing flagship wearables and two Polar H10 chest straps (one being the taped reference, the other being the standard wear industry reference).
Temple was by far the most accurate wearable amongst everything we studied. We even beat the industry reference chest strap in normal wear conditions, in Zones 4 and 5 (which athletes care the most about).
Every other wearable has always only tried to get as close to the reference as possible. At Temple, our goal is to become the new reference.
Everything you need to know about our study can be found here: t.pw/hr
More independent validations are underway.
Skeptics are urged to wait before buying. Everybody else who wants an edge on their training, write to us at [email protected] if you want to know more.
Btw, I am tempted to follow the global standards set by Apple and not offer our current 14-day no-questions-asked return policy in India. I will sleep over it.
Pre-order at temple.com now.

Got through! Excited about this.
Too much traffic on temple.com - we are trying to get on top of it. Orders are working on the app though.
Website is back up. I hope it holds. Don't rush please.

Today, for the first time, you can pre-order Temple.
It took two years. Our founder, @deepigoyal, and a team of scientists and engineers set out to build the best health wearable ever made, right from day one. I am proud and delighted to be part of this team.
In our treadmill study, Temple was the most accurate heart rate wearable tested, ahead of Apple Watch, WHOOP, Garmin, Fitbit, and Oura.
It also shows how blood flow to your brain changes through the day and gives you a live stress reading. See how you respond to a meditation, a tense meeting, a hard workout, or a bad night's sleep.
Star Trek imagined one small device that could read your body. We want that future for everyone, with your health in your own hands.
At Temple, this is just the first step. The vision is much bigger, and we are only getting started.

I’ve been using it myself, and I genuinely think it’s a game changer! 💪❤️
I’ve been working closely with Deepi and his team to figure out how we can get the most meaningful metrics, not just for me, but for athletes in general. And the more I use it, the more I believe in what they’re building.
It’s honestly incredible how something so small can be so effective 💪❤️

The entire wearable industry has been pouring billions into algorithms to compensate for a fundamentally bad sensor location (the wrist).
Temple just showed that moving the sensor to the temple right over a major artery that doesn't clamp down during hard effort plus guaranteeing contact with adhesive, beats fancy software by a wide margin. Especially in Zones 4 & 5.
Sometimes the simplest physics still wins.
Temple is the most accurate HR tracker compared to all flagship wearables, even in Zone 4 & 5.
Detailed study here: t.pw/hr

At @temple, one of our missions is to become the ultimate wearable for elite performance athletes.
And today, let's start with the basics: Heart Rate (HR).
You would think accurate HR tracking is a solved problem. It is not. Especially in zones 4 & 5, which matter to professional athletes the most.
To see whether Temple is the most accurate wearable on something as basic as HR, we gave ourselves a high bar to aspire to. A Polar H10 chest strap, taped to the chest. Taped, because worn the usual way, straps lose contact mid-sprint and miss beats. We benchmarked five flagship wearables against that reference, from rest to max effort, second by second.
All the other leading wearables were well behind Temple in our study. Apple Watch Series 12 came closest. Temple also beat the untaped chest strap, the industry's benchmark, in zones 4 and 5.
Why does Temple win? Two reasons.
1. Temple uses adhesive, so its lab condition is its wear condition. You'll experience our study outcomes in real life.
2. The location. Your temple sits right over a major artery, and it's the one patch of skin that doesn't clamp down its blood flow when you go hard. We tested the same sensor at four body sites. The temple was the most accurate of the four.
Charts attached.
Accurate HR makes Temple better at so much more downstream. More soon.
The full paper and data are live right now at temple.com/science, and an extended study by independent researchers is underway.
We invite further independent replication in more conditions, and will fund it. Write to us at [email protected]
