It Looks Like Peloton Wants to Get Into Wearables - Gizmodo
Now, a Bloomberg report claims that Peloton is working on an armband that measures heart rate.
Technically speaking, this wouldn’t be Peloton’s first wearable heart rate monitor.“Using the adjustable strap, wear the Peloton Heart Rate monitor snug on your forearm to accurately monitor your effort during workouts.â€.
The company has only grown more popular during the pandemic, and a device that flawlessly transmits heart rate data to Peloton bikes and treadmills might be an attractive option for the Peloton faithful.
Peloton creating its own heart rate monitor in a more comfortable form might be its solution to that GymKit limitation—while also gaining a few more bucks on the side.
This armband may exist in the Peloton app’s code, but it’s also something that the company could scrap before it ever goes to market.
