Temple pre-orders start this week: From price to features, subscription and design, all you should know
Temple is a screenless wearable that attaches to the side of the head and uses BrainFlow technology to monitor signals associated with cerebral blood flow.
Early-access invitations reportedly list a price of Rs 85,000 with lifetime platform access, although Temple has not confirmed the final pricing and terms.
The device is available in six finishes, with delivery expected within three months of ordering and some key specifications still unconfirmed.
Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal’s Temple wearable is nearing its first consumer launch, with pre-orders for Batch 01 scheduled to open on November 1, 2026. Early-access invitations put the price at over Rs 80,000, including lifetime access to the device’s software platform. The company is taking a limited, made-to-order approach to production. Goyal has said each device will be handcrafted, with deliveries expected within three months of purchase. This means customers placing orders in November will receive their devices in early 2027. Check out all the details, including the subscription, price, features, design and more.
SurveyTemple price in India and subscription details
Early-access invitations list Temple Batch 01 at Rs 85,000. The price is said to include lifetime access to its software platform (no subscription fee will be charged after the purchase) and analytical features. The company is also offering what it calls Temple Care. It seems to be a package that buyers can take to get device replacements at a nominal fee.

The listing page on the company’s app also says that it will offer personal onboarding: a one on one introduction to the device. Along with this, the company will offer a lifetime supply of Grips, which are medical-grade adhesives used to wear Temple.
Temple design and colour options
Temple has a compact, pebble-shaped design without a display, physical buttons or vibration alerts. Instead of delivering notifications, it collects physiological data and syncs it with the companion smartphone app. The device attaches to the skin near the temple, between the forehead and the ear, using adhesive Grips. Goyal has said it is designed to stay in place during everyday activities and exercise.
Temple will be offered in six finishes: True Gold, Rose Gold, Dark Mirror, Real Jade, Deep Blue and Purple Funk. Real Jade, Deep Blue and Purple Funk are limited editions. The device is being positioned as a screenless wearable for users interested in health data without the distractions of a conventional smartwatch.
What does Temple track?
Temple uses a system called BrainFlow to monitor changes associated with cerebral blood flow. The company aims to use these signals to offer insights that differ from the heart rate, step counts and sleep metrics commonly found on smartwatches and smart rings.
Another feature is Entropy, a score ranging from 1 to 250 intended to represent physiological strain. According to information shared by Goyal, factors such as exercise, sleep, stress and caffeine consumption can influence the score.
However, the practical value of these measurements will depend on how reliably the device captures and interprets the signals. Anyway, Temple is intended for wellness and research purposes, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
Temple Battery life and everyday use
As per the app listing, the company will offer a charging pod that will carry up to 25 days of charge. However, the brand has not confirmed the exact battery life and charging speed at the moment. But it makes sense. Temple has been described as a wearable designed for continuous use, including during exercise. Goyal has said it can be worn while running, swimming and showering, although not intended for scuba diving.

Do note that the company has not yet published a complete set of independently tested specifications and real-world performance. It seems that we may have to wait for another 3 months to get the detailed information about the device.
Temple Batch 01: What buyers should know
The November 1 pre-order date looks like a commercial head start for the company. Goyal previously said the first devices were prepared for selected users, including athletes, researchers, doctors and entrepreneurs. The wearable also attracted attention after Goyal was seen wearing it during a podcast appearance, while badminton player PV Sindhu has been spotted using it during matches.
For now, the first batch appears to be aimed at early adopters willing to experiment with a different approach to wearable health tracking. However, the Rs 85,000 price tag put it in the premium segment where Apple Watch Ultra and Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra are considered reliable choices. But its value depends on the quality of its measurements, the usefulness of its insights and the final ownership terms.
