Breezin is taking the concept of a screenless tracker that looks like a bracelet to a new level with its new device that covers the sensor with natural stones. It’s now available for early backing through a Kickstarter campaign. Originally looking for just over $15,000 in funding, the French company has already far exceeded its goal with more than $73,000 pledged and 21 days left to go on the campaign.
Founded by Saint-Malo, France entrepreneurs Sylvain Péan and Tristan Mercier, who come from the natural stone and engineering industries, the tracker is jewelry first and health and wellness tracker second. Beneath the precious stone face are health sensors including a three-axis accelerometer ad an optical PPG sensor for tracking heart rate, resting heart rate, and heart rate variability (HRV). It can also measure blood oxygen, stress, steps, distance, calories burned, workout activity (start and stop from the app), and sleep stages, and provides an energy score. While there’s no built-in GPS, it estimated movement and step data to determine that metric, and your phone’s GPS during activities like walks and runs. Calorie estimates use movement and heart-rate information together with profile details such as age, sex, height and weight.
There’s no subscription required, and you can access all the data in the companion Breezin app. Heart rate and other sensor measurements are collected automatically throughout the day, with more frequent data collection during recorded workouts. You can also manually adjust the general sensing frequency through the app. There’s limited vibration feedback for certain actions, like connection to your phone, the start and end of a workout, and Find My Device.
Each bracelet comes adorned with one of 10 natural semi-precious stones, with the sensing technology integrated into the case beneath the stone. Interchangeable straps are available in stainless steel, silicone, leather and fabric. There’s also the choice of natural wood or a 316L stainless-steel case. It can be worn for everyday activities, while sleeping, and while exercising, says the company.
There are 10 natural semi-precious stone options, divided into two collections. Essentials include Howlite, Lapis Lazuli, Amethyst, Tiger’s Eye and Amazonite and Signature is Carnelian, Labradorite, Malachite, Rhodonite and Mother-of-Pearl. Each stone has its own color, pattern and way of catching the light.
The Breezin screenless tracker working with both iOS and Android and supports one-way synchronization with Apple Health and Google Health. Breezin says it only shares data with connected health platforms when you grant the relevant permissions. You can manage these permissions through the Breezin app and the privacy controls provided by your device and connected health platforms.
Super Early Bird Kickstarter backers get the tracker for US$119, 40% off the regular price of US$199. The estimated delivery date is January 2027.
