Visible Band 2.0: Moving to the wrist
October 2, 2025

We're moving Visible from the upper arm to the wrist. Starting today, all new Visible members will receive a wrist strap by default. We're also simplifying the product name from Visible Armband 2.0 to Visible Band 2.0.

Why the change?

Earlier this year, we began testing the sensor with a wrist strap. We started internally, then with a beta group and now more widely with our members. The wrist strap has also been available as an optional accessory for Visible members since July 2025.

Feedback from our community has been clear: the wrist strap is working better for many. In particular, members:

  • found the wrist strap more comfortable
  • said it was more discreet in social and professional settings
  • noted that it was easier to put on and take off (important for members with limited mobility and fatigue)

Our mission is to build the best tools possible for people with complex chronic conditions. Over the past year, member feedback on the wrist strap has shown us that it makes a real difference in comfort and ease of use. Based on this, we’re making the wrist strap the standard for all new members.

This switch won’t affect the price, which will stay the same.

What about current members?

If you’re already a member and you'd like to use a wrist strap with your sensor, you can purchase one at a discounted rate from the Visible Shop. Use the code WRISTSTRAP25 for 25% off.

Still love the arm strap? It will continue to be available as an optional accessory in the Visible Shop and our software will continue to support it.

What’s next?

Our roadmap for 2025 includes an automated stability score and sleep tracking for Visible Band 2.0 users. These features will be made available for you to try and share feedback on between now and the end of the year. You'll receive an in-app notification when a new feature is ready through our Early access hub in your Profile tab.

Thanks as always for your support.

Onwards!
