Upgrade your health tracker
We improve your mental and physical health by building stress resilience.
Connecting Body and Mind
Health isn’t just physical or mental—it’s both. NOWATCH helps you understand how they interact. A healthy autonomic nervous system, better sleep, and more energy start with knowing what your body needs.
From Distraction to Presence
In a world full of screens and notifications, NOWATCH helps you disconnect from digital noise and reconnect with yourself. No distractions, just awareness. Feel what’s happening inside instead of reacting to what’s happening outside.
Small Tech. Big Impact.
Your health data is yours—always. We don’t track, sell, or lock you into subscriptions. You decide if and when to share your data. The NOWATCH app is free, with no hidden costs. Just better health, on your terms.

NOWATCH measures what truly matters for long term health: how quickly your body bounces back from stress
Your body talks.
We help you understand it.
Biocueing vibrations remind you to Check-In — your body constantly sends signals. We help you make sense of them, so you know why you feel the way you do and can respond in the best way possible.
We help you avoid
overloading your system
We monitor your autonomous nervous system’s response to daily life by tracking the stress metrics that actually matter: Stress Recovery and Frequency. This is your body's early warning system, alerting you to make changes before you feel overwhelmed.
Body-mind connection made easy
NOWATCH helps you adjust how you feel in the moment. You don’t need to be a top athlete or spend hours meditating—small interventions are often more effective and easier to sustain in the long run.
Build sustainable habits
Small daily changes create a big impact over time—longevity starts with consistent habits that strengthen both your mental and physical health.

I thought I had a naturally elevated heart rate, but NOWATCH revealed it was stress from work. Adjusting my schedule improved my stress management and transformed my health.

How does NOWATCH stand out from traditional smartwatches?
Other smart devices focus solely on exercise or sleep. NOWATCH tracks those metrics but uses them as a tool for monitoring stress.
Stress is a healthy physiological function that helps keep you engaged, motivated, and connected. Learning how your body processes, reacts, or does not react to stress is your best advantage for sustainable mental and physical health.
Small, everyday stressful moments like spilling your coffee, running late to a meeting, or misplacing your keys are all opportunities to learn how to recover and bring yourself back to the Calm Zone—also known as homeostasis. The cumulative effect of how we respond to daily stressors is essential to improving our long-term health.
NOWATCH builds a unique stress fingerprint based on your activity, mood, and heart rate for the most accurate reflection of how your body responds to stress.
