My coworker Melissa Rorech is one of those people. People who are susceptible to minor weather changes might find the Embr Wave more useful than I do. My body temperature seems to regulate itself normally I've only had issues when suffering from fevers and one unfortunate hypothermia incident after a day of skiing. I can’t speak for people who have internal issues with thermal regulation. If you’re in a stuffy subway car, it won’t cool you down enough to stop that bead of sweat from slipping down your back, no matter how low you set the temperature. It didn’t calm my heart rate after walking up four flights of stairs or prevent a shiver in icy office air. The Embr Wave didn’t-and can’t-change the surrounding environment or lower the dew point. The Embr Wave app lets you control the temperature with a little more precision.īut the temperature change, to me at least, seemed limited to the area on my wrist. The cooling phase, in particular, contradicts your natural expectation that a surface will warm when touched, so there’s something counterintuitive and interesting about it. When you wear the device, a spot on your wrist will feel the warmth or coolness it emits, and it’s a pleasant, even intriguing, sensation. In one sense, the Embr Wave does exactly what it claims. The verdict: The original Embr Wave is a nifty idea built into a clunky, awkward, and expensive wearable that doesn’t deliver. I wore the Embr Wave on and off for a few weeks to see whether or not it could keep me cool in a heat wave or warm me up in overzealous office air conditioning. There's also an app you can use to fine-tune the temperature. Pressing a button on the Embr Wave makes it heat up (or cool down) against your wrist, which then-according to the manufacturers-warms (or cools) the rest of you. You wear the Embr Wave on the inside of your wrist, directly against the pulse point said to be so sensitive to temperature change that targeting it with heat or cold can thermoregulate the entire body. The wrist-worn device-just a little bigger than an Apple Watch-comes with an inch-wide magnetic metal strap that fastens around your arm.
Pressing a button on the device will change the temperature of the Embr Wave.
