Temple, a head-worn health and athletic wearable backed by Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal, has opened pre-orders in India at ₹85,000. The made-to-order device attaches near the temple using adhesive grips and is designed to collect physiological data during everyday activities and exercise.
The package includes the wearable, a charging pod, a lifetime supply of adhesive grips, lifetime access to the companion app, personal onboarding and Temple Care coverage. The company says initial deliveries are expected within about three months, putting orders placed now on track for early 2027.
Designed for Health and Training Insights
Temple uses optical sensors and its proprietary BrainFlow technology to monitor signals associated with cerebral blood flow and oxygenation. Its companion app also provides an Entropy score, ranging from 1 to 250, intended to indicate physiological strain. Factors such as exercise, sleep, stress and caffeine may affect the score.
Unlike a smartwatch, Temple has no display and is not designed to deliver notifications. Instead, it focuses on collecting and presenting health-related data through its app. The company positions the device as a wellness and research tool, not a medical diagnostic device.
Six Colour Finishes and Included Accessories
The wearable is offered in six finishes: True Gold, Rose Gold, Dark Mirror, Deep Blue, Real Jade and Purple Funk. Each unit is handmade to order.
The included charging pod is designed to carry up to 25 days of reserve charge. The package also includes ongoing app access without a recurring subscription fee, a personal setup session and replacement coverage for a nominal service fee.
Company Study Reports Heart-Rate Accuracy
Temple’s pre-order launch coincides with the release of an internal validation study comparing its optical sensors with five consumer wearables and a Polar H10 chest-strap ECG monitor. The treadmill study involved 43 participants and measured performance across different heart-rate zones.
According to the company’s report, Temple recorded a mean absolute error of 1.18 beats per minute against the chest-strap reference. The results are from an internal study, and independent validations are still underway.
Some Details Remain Unannounced
The company has not yet shared key specifications such as the wearable’s exact weight, dimensions or battery capacity. Its return policy may also change once formal distribution begins.
At ₹85,000, Temple is positioned as a premium wearable. Its appeal will depend on the usefulness of its measurements, the app experience and whether independent testing supports the company’s performance claims.
