The silicone ring pioneer introduces a second wearable designed to complement the QALO SR-2 Smart Ring on one unified, subscription-free health platform
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–QALO, the brand that pioneered the silicone ring, today announced the launch of the QALO SL-1 Smart Band, QALO’s next-generation wristband engineered for hardworking hands and high-intensity movement, marking the company’s next step in wearable technology. The Smart Band joins the QALO Smart Ring, the company’s flagship wearable line known for delivering health data with no subscription. As QALO’s user base has grown more than 400% year-over-year, the company is expanding its connected health platform with the Smart Band, giving users the flexibility to move between devices while keeping their sleep, stress, recovery, and activity data on one continuous health profile.
Jake Curreri, CEO of QALO, shared, “QALO has always believed that the best wearable is one that fits naturally into every active lifestyle. The Smart Band is the next step in building a more flexible health platform, giving people the choice to wear the Smart Ring, Smart Band, or both. After more than a decade of designing products people are comfortable wearing every day, we understand that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to wearables. We’re applying that experience to health technology built for people who are always in pursuit of better health, better performance, and a better understanding of their bodies.”
Introducing the QALO SL-1 Smart Band
The QALO SL-1 Smart Band is built for effortless tracking without a subscription. The HSA/FSA-eligible, water-resistant device offers 12+ days of battery life and tracks sleep, movement, SpO2, heart rate, stress, HRV, skin temperature, and women’s health metrics.
Key features include:
- Daily Q Score: QALO’s proprietary 1–100 score synthesizes sleep, HRV, movement, and stress into an easy-to-understand daily snapshot
- Live Heart Rate Tracking: A real-time view of heart rate, elapsed time, and step count during workouts, giving users immediate visibility into their activity and effort
- Women’s Health Metrics: Menstrual cycle tracking across the follicular, ovulatory, and luteal phases, along with period prediction, fertility awareness, and pregnancy-related insights
Two Wearables, One Connected Health Profile
The launch marks the next stage of QALO’s growth as a subscription-free wearable health company, expanding its platform from one wearable form factor to two. Engineered as a single, connected ecosystem, the Smart Ring and Smart Band allow users to switch between devices while maintaining a continuous record of sleep, activity, and recovery data.
QALO’s Smart Ring remains the company’s anchor product: sleek, lightweight, and fashion-forward, built to stay on through the day, through sleep, at work, out to dinner, and through lighter workouts, delivering continuous health, recovery, and sleep insights in a design that looks as good as it performs.
The introduction of the QALO Smart Band is purpose-built for high-intensity movement and activities where a wrist-worn device makes more sense. Engineered for hardworking hands and high-intensity movement, the device allows users to transition seamlessly into CrossFit, strength training, manual labor, and other rigorous activities without interrupting their tracking or requiring them to wear a ring during activities where it may not be practical. For firefighters, paramedics, construction workers, mechanics, and everyday athletes, the Smart Band provides another way to stay connected to their health data through more demanding parts of the day.
Both devices connect to the same QALO app, creating one continuous health profile where workouts, sleep, readiness, and daily activity live in one place, regardless of which device a user wears. Users can move between the Smart Ring and Smart Band based on the activity without fragmenting their health data across different platforms.
Availability
The Smart Band is now available on qalo.com for $199.95. For a limited time, customers will receive an additional complimentary strap with purchases made through QALO. This fall, QALO will expand the Smart Band’s retail presence into 50 Walmart locations nationwide.
