Luna Band launching soon as Whoop alternative without subscription
Luna Band was originally announced at CES in January. The manufacturer has finally confirmed details of the launch schedule. Accordingly, pre-orders will open on July 4 and delivery is expected to begin on July 31. Luna plans to reveal more information about the functionality by then.
While no details on the price are yet known, Luna has already confirmed that no subscription is required to use the wristband – clearly differentiating Luna Band from the market leader Whoop. Compared to competitors such as the new Google Fitbit Air ($99 on Amazon), the Luna Band is said to offer a much wider range of functions, as the wristband has both a vibration motor and microphones.
This makes it possible to use haptic feedback to notify users of predefined events, such as an appointment in the calendar or the achievement of a fitness goal. The microphone allows Luna Band to recognize voice commands, which can be processed either via Apple Siri or Google Gemini. However, due to the lack of a speaker, responses can only be seen on the smartphone display or heard via connected headphones.
It is also possible to start workouts by voice command. LifeOS is designed to enable the integration of Luna into third-party platforms. Luna Band achieves a battery life of ten days. The sensors are largely the same as those of the competition, as the Luna Band also offers a heart rate and SpO2 sensor as well as a 6-axis motion sensor, allowing steps, activity and sleep to be tracked.
