At @temple, one of our missions is to become the ultimate wearable for elite performance athletes.
And today, let's start with the basics: Heart Rate (HR).
You would think accurate HR tracking is a solved problem. It is not. Especially in zones 4 & 5, which matter to professional athletes the most.
To see whether Temple is the most accurate wearable on something as basic as HR, we gave ourselves a high bar to aspire to. A Polar H10 chest strap, taped to the chest. Taped, because worn the usual way, straps lose contact mid-sprint and miss beats. We benchmarked five flagship wearables against that reference, from rest to max effort, second by second.
All the other leading wearables were well behind Temple in our study. Apple Watch Series 12 came closest. Temple also beat the untaped chest strap, the industry's benchmark, in zones 4 and 5.
Why does Temple win? Two reasons.
1. Temple uses adhesive, so its lab condition is its wear condition. You'll experience our study outcomes in real life.
2. The location. Your temple sits right over a major artery, and it's the one patch of skin that doesn't clamp down its blood flow when you go hard. We tested the same sensor at four body sites. The temple was the most accurate of the four.
Charts attached.
Accurate HR makes Temple better at so much more downstream. More soon.
The full paper and data are live right now at https://t.co/ovabS2dvnY, and an extended study by independent researchers is underway.
We invite further independent replication in more conditions, and will fund it. Write to us at [email protected]
After 20 years in longevity science, doubt has become my default setting. Most anti-aging claims fall apart the moment you ask for the raw data. So when co-founder Rob Mohr and I noticed a small device on @deepigoyal's temple at a London dinner, I did what my training requires: I spent two months trying to prove Temple wrong, wearing it every day and asking the annoying questions about signal quality and confounders on call after call with the team at Temple. They had two years of careful, unhurried experiments behind a product that hasn’t even launched yet, and when they didn’t have data, they said so.
Consumer hardware usually goes from prototype to shelf in months, with marketing first and science patched in later. Deepinder has spent two years doing it in the other order, quietly building the sensor and the evidence before asking anyone for anything. The team he has assembled, firmware engineers, signal-processing people, physiologists, and data scientists, runs experiments, openly reports the ones that fail, and then returns to what’s known about human physiology to guide the next set of experiments.
I know this because I spent two months with the team as an outsider, which they very much welcomed because they seemingly had nothing to hide. When this team doesn’t have an answer yet, they say so.
Working like that is a privilege scientists rarely get, in academia or anywhere else, and it exists at Temple because Deepinder decided it should.
Today, Rob and I are bringing Longevous, our London preventive and personalized medicine practice, into Temple. I’m joining full-time to lead the science, starting with getting our validation studies through peer review.
The goal is simple: the most health for the most people. I’m betting the next decade of my career on this team.
Temple is now less than half the size of what you've seen so far.
Volumetrically, Temple is now the smallest wearable on the market, and the most^10 powerful. Living and training with Temple is going to change your life.
We will start taking pre-orders for our limited launch edition @temple very soon - shipping before the end of 2026. Join our mailing list on https://t.co/XxGR9Hpq58 to stay up to date.
Michael Carrick was a class act as a player and he can become a great coach as well. Nothing is impossible for this guy. Personally, I’m proud to have played with him by my side as well as with him as a manager on our bench. 🙌🏽👊🏽
I’m not sharing this as the CEO of Eternal, but as a fellow human, curious enough to follow a strange thread. A thread I can’t keep with myself any longer.
It’s open-source, backed by science, and shared with you as part of our common quest for scientific progress on human longevity.
Newton gave us a word for it. Einstein said it bends spacetime. I am saying gravity shortens lifespan.
Read on, and tell me what you think.
Once upon a time, people believed the Earth was flat. And then they didn’t. Then they believed the sun revolved around the Earth. Until they didn’t.
Humanity has built rockets, sequenced genomes, and cloned cells. Yet, in all our brilliance, we may have missed something glaringly simple.
At Continue, we’ve been chasing a crazy insight into why we age; a pattern that’s been hiding in plain sight for eternity. We’ve tried desperately to disprove it. We couldn’t.
Two years later, clues from biology, physics, evolution, and medicine are all pointing in the same direction.
In 48 hours, I’ll share what we’ve found and how one element of our environment may hold the key to slowing human aging.
Stay tuned.
PROTEST TOMORROW TICKET OFFICE AT 2PM
You’ve seen the lies released by the club and their mouthpieces
Marginalising and exploiting our match going fanbase
This is our club. We will fight for the right to support it
Dignity and integrity needs to be restored

They lie to us.
They deceive us.
They betray us.
Our History, our Dignity, our Integrity.
This ownership stole it all.
Rise up, unite and fight to get it back. Doing nothing will achieve nothing.
60 minute sit in after Forest. Be on the right side of history.
The 1958🇾🇪
TIME TO STAND UNITED!
Wolves 6:30 at Trinity we protest behind the banners visually and loud.
Help us to spread awareness and hand out flyers for our 60 min sit in after Forest.
A fish rots from the head down.
Currently our club stinks!
See you tomorrow.

PROTEST RALLYING CALL
The Glazers make the key decisions
No standards, no morals. They drag the dignity of our club through the gutter
It’s critical all reds don’t let that happen
Our message remains Glazers Out
It will not change until they go!
See you Monday
The 1958🇾🇪
These two iconic pictures are from two of our first protests.
Never lose sight of what we are fighting for.
To protect the future of our club for generations to come.
When they are gone, we can reset.
Keep believing🇾🇪
