Jewelry and smart-ring maker Qalo has released the SL-1, a subscription-free, screenless fitness band priced at $199.95 that condenses health metrics into a single score. The device syncs with Qalo's existing smart ring ecosystem, letting wearers switch between ring and band while data feeds into one account, and Qalo says the SL-1 runs on its own software and design rather than white-labeled hardware.
