Tired of wrist gadgets that still lure you into apps? The new Luna Band, introduced Monday at CES 2026, promises to break the habit by recording workouts, mood, meals and symptoms through simple voice commands.
How Voice-First Tracking Works
The band’s onboard LifeOS AI-Siri-compatible-listens for quick updates like “just finished a 5K” or “feeling anxious,” then merges that context with motion and optical-sensor data. Activity, stress, sleep and more sync automatically to Apple Health, Google Fit or the period app Clue.
- Speak to log meals, symptoms or mood
- Sensors still capture heart rate, temperature, motion
- Audio feedback arrives via paired phone or earbuds
Hardware & Cost Breakdown
Four colorways-gray, orange, dark blue and champagne-encase the same sensor array found in the earlier Luna Ring. No screen means lighter hardware and longer battery life.
| Feature | Luna Band | Whoop 5.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Subscription | $0/year | $149-$359/year |
| Data input | Voice + sensors | App + sensors |
| Screen | None | None |
| Siri support | Yes | No |
The company has not announced price or retail date, but the absence of a required plan positions it as a budget-friendlier alternative to subscription-based trackers.
Key Takeaways
- First tracker to combine voice-only logging with full-spectrum sensors
- Eliminates app dependency while maintaining popular platform integration
- Zero annual fee undercuts Whoop’s recurring cost model
If Luna can deliver on accuracy, the band could redraw the wearables map for users who want insights without endless swiping or surprise fees.
