Temple wearable pre-orders open on 1 November
The Story in Brief
Deepinder Goyal's wearable venture Temple will open pre-orders for the first batch of its head-worn device on 1 November, the founder announced on X. Each device will be hand-made to order and delivered within three months of purchase. The pill-shaped wearable attaches to the side of the head between the forehead and the ear, and tracks blood flow and oxygenation inside the brain using optical sensors.
The Economic Times reports the expected price is Rs 75,000 to 80,000, including a lifetime subscription to its health platform and a lifetime supply of adhesive tapes. India Today reports Goyal has hinted at a price of around $1,000, or roughly Rs 1 lakh, but the official price has not been announced. The launch edition comes in six colours: True Gold, Rose Gold, Black Mirror, Real Jade, Deep Blue and Purple Funk. Temple is designed for wellness and research, not medical diagnosis.
Update, 21 October 2026: News9live reports the same facts: pre-orders open 1 November, hand-made to order, three-month delivery, and the device's experimental nature. The outlet adds that Goyal confirmed the date on X and that the wearable has attracted attention after he was spotted wearing it in public.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three outlets report the same facts: pre-orders open 1 November, hand-made to order, three-month delivery, six colours, and no official price. The Economic Times leads with its own pricing estimate, India Today adds a $1,000 hint from Goyal, and News9 leads with the experimental nature of the device. None take a critical or promotional stance. The uniform coverage reflects the limited information released. The price remains the key unknown, to be announced by Goyal before or on 1 November.
