The health tracker
you'll actually want to wear.
A braided cord. A single black bead. Everything your body's been trying to tell you.

We didn't set out to build another wearable brand. We just noticed nobody would wear these things if they weren't tracking something.
Every tracker we tried did the job, but none of them were something we'd actually choose to wear. Bulky screens we never looked at, notification buzzes we didn't need, and bands that felt like cheap plastic no matter how much the device itself cost. We found ourselves taking it off before dinner, before dates, before anything that wasn't a workout, and every time we did, we lost the exact data we bought it for in the first place.
So we started asking people around us if they felt the same way, and it wasn't close. Almost everyone had a story about a $300+ tracker sitting in a drawer, or a smartwatch they only wore to the gym because it didn't fit anywhere else in their life. People wanted the insight, the sleep data, the recovery scores, the heart rate trends, but they were tired of paying premium prices for hardware that still looked and felt disposable. They wanted something they'd actually choose to wear, one that happened to be smart, not the other way around.
That's when we realized this wasn't just a personal itch. It was a real gap in a market full of screens and straps that never felt like something you'd want on your wrist. Something you could wear to a wedding, in a meeting, on a run, or to sleep, and it would just look effortless the entire time, not like tech you're tolerating.
That's what ZINQ is. One sphere, no screen, no plastic band, no compromise on how it looks. All the intelligence, none of the bulk.
A hand-braided cord and a single matte bead. That's all anyone else sees. Inside the bead: precision optical sensors quietly reading your body around the clock.
No screen. No buzzing. Nothing between you and the moment.
Zinq measures the signals that actually matter and turns them into simple daily guidance in the app.
An optical sensor reads blood flow with every heartbeat, tracking resting heart rate around the clock plus HRV, the number most linked to stress resilience and cardiovascular fitness.
The same sensor shines two wavelengths of light through your skin to measure how much oxygen your blood is carrying, tied to respiratory health and sleep quality.
A contact sensor tracks tiny shifts in your baseline temperature night after night, often the earliest sign of illness, overtraining, or cycle changes.
By pairing wrist motion with overnight heart rate patterns, Zinq maps your night into light, deep, and REM stages, so you know how well you actually slept, not just how long.
Motion sensors recognize walking, standing, and exercise automatically, logging steps and active minutes without you starting a workout.
Every morning, HRV, resting heart rate, temperature, and sleep get blended into one score, a straight answer to whether you should push today or rest.
A quiet vibration engine hidden in the bead lets you check the time or wake up gently, without ever looking at a screen.
Double-tap the stone and feel the time in a sequence of pulses. Quick pulses count the hour, longer buzzes count off every 15 minutes. No screen, no glance, just touch.
Instead of a jarring alarm, the bead builds a slow wave of vibration that grows stronger over a few minutes, enough to wake you gently, without a sound, and without waking your partner too.
Every sensor, chip, and battery that a typical tracker spreads across a bulky case has been engineered down into a single obsidian bead, using the same measurement architecture found in leading wearables, miniaturized without cutting a corner.
The result is something that stops feeling like tech and starts feeling like something you'd actually choose to wear: a band comfortable and stylish enough for all day, every day, that just happens to be reading your body the whole time.
Recovery, sleep, and heart health, laid out clearly the moment you open the app. No clutter, no noise, just what matters.
Great recovery. Your body's ready to push today.
Zinq goes where a chunky watch can't: with a suit, at the beach, in the gym, on a plane. One band, every context.
The best wearable is the one nobody notices you're wearing.
Founding members get their ZINQ on their wrist weeks before it's available anywhere else, before retail, before the public launch, before anyone else even knows it exists.
