Qalo SL-1 Launches as Subscription-Free Smart Band to Rival Garmin and Whoop
Qalo has launched the SL-1, a screenless smart band priced at $199.95 that requires no subscription. The device tracks sleep, heart rate, and stress, and integrates with Qalo's smart ring ecosystem to provide a unified health profile. While it offers 12-day battery life, it lacks automatic workout detection, a feature present in its main competitor, the Garmin Cirqa.
