Speediance hasn’t released many details about the Strap yet, other than that it’s a prototype product and will be subject to a Kickstarter launch later this year. There’s no word on pricing (I reached out to a Speediance representative, who confirmed this), but we do know that it will have a base price, with an optional premium subscription for AI features, rather than a full subscription model like Whoop.
Speediance said in a press release that “core activity and recovery data is available at no additional cost, with optional Wellness+ access providing advanced AI planning and long-term insights.” So far, a dismal standard for the wellness industry these days (I’d love to have a device without an ongoing subscription paywall, please).
We also know that the device will offer data-driven daily readiness scores, like the best Fitbits and best Garmin watches, and will “monitor stress-related physiological responses and core body temperature,” so it will keep an eye on recovery and training.
It’s taken longer than I expected, but minimalist fitness trackers are having a moment again, between these Whoop dupes and the best smart rings. There seems to be a theme emerging: while I don’t think specialized running watches will ever be replaced, more and more people are looking for focused, multidisciplinary training and moving away from notifications on their wrist.
