Overview
- Temple began global pre‑orders on Sunday, November 1, with Indian bookings timed for 9:30pm IST and orders accepted via the Temple app and temple.com.
- The site briefly went offline from heavy traffic before orders continued to process through the app and the company restored the website after acknowledging it had underestimated demand.
- Early listings show a price of ₹85,000 in India, a made‑to‑order production model with deliveries of up to three months, a limited first batch called Batch 01, and refunds allowed until shipment.
- The device is a pill‑shaped, head‑worn wearable that attaches with disposable adhesive 'Grips', reports an Entropy score, and is positioned for wellness and research rather than medical diagnosis.
- Temple published an internal white paper saying its temple placement and BrainFlow sensors produced mean absolute heart‑rate error near 1–1.5 bpm against a taped Polar H10 chest strap and the company has posted its data and pledged funding for independent replication.
