That’s because it’s quite bulky in comparison to say a slim smartwatch or fitness tracker. However, wearing it underneath your wrist when you’re typing or working can get in the way a little. It’s the same size and shape as an old mobile phone battery or a small box of matches, with a textured wave pattern on the top and the smooth, cooling and warming thermoelectric module on the back.Īs you’ll see from the photos, you can wear the Embr Wave on the top of the wrist, but it has a more powerful and intense effect when worn underneath – this area is even more sensitive. To put that into perspective, the Apple Watch Series 4 is 10.7mm thick.Įssential reading: How biggest tech names are dealing with stress The very angular-looking device is built from stainless steel with a milanese band and measures in at 13mm thick. It's fair to say the Wave doesn't look like any wearable we've had on our wrists before. We put the Embr Wave to the test for a month to see whether this unusual device really can deliver on its temperature promises, which Elizabeth Gazda, CEO of Embr Labs, refers to as “thermal wellness.” Since then, it’s been released to the public and has already been bolstered by additional research backing up its claims, and has received a number of small but significant updates to its app too. The Embr Wave launched on Kickstarter in 2017, surpassing its funding goals six-fold. Whether you feel too cold on a plane or in an air-conditioned office and need some warmth, through to finding heat accompanies an anxiety attack or hot flashes and you need some cooling respite. There are lots of ways the Wave could be used to make people feel a bit more comfortable. These hot and cold waves can be customised depending on whether you need a big hit of warmth or a soothing, prolonged dose of cool. Worn on your wrist, the Wave generates small amounts of cooling or warming sensations, which the creators of the wearable calls ‘Thermal Waveforms’. The Embr Wave, a unique wearable device, promises to come to the aid of both those types of those people. I decided it's well worth the cost because I didn't like the alternative.There are two types of people in the world: those who are always a bit too cold, and those who are always a little too warm. When I start sweating if I go into a-fib, it even helps that! Not the heart, but the sweating which helps me focus on bringing the heart rate down not having to deal with the uncomfort of sweating at the same time. But I'm also very aware of changes happening within my body. It's a little pricey, but I find it really works. I constantly change mine based on what I'm doing and how soon I might catch the need to use it (the sooner the better!) Its real. I love the different heading/cooling modes. Will it cool down your body from excessive heat? Not sure but it will bring it within tolerance. I could put it on and not notice any change, but then when I think about it, I haven't been hot when used. I think you need to be aware of your body's symptoms. I especially like it at night during my hot flashes and using the night mode. It's not obtrusive, but it is large, and I wear it all the time. I've had it for a couple of weeks now and my only wish is it had more battery and was a little less obtrusive. But was going to give it a full 30 day review. I used it once and was sure I was going to return it.
