🚀 New Launches
Fitbit co-founders James Park and Eric Friedman opened preorders for Luffu Link, a screenless LTE band with heart rate, sleep, and location tracking designed for aging in place and family caregiving. The $249.99 preorder (retail $299.99 in early 2027) targets adult children monitoring aging relatives—a segment separate from athlete-focused wearables like Whoop or Fitbit Air.
Marty’s Take:
James Park’s exit from Fitbit was fine. His comeback is the tell: caregivers, not runners, are the growth market wearables actually have left. Luffu Link skips the wrist-app-phone chain entirely, which is the right call for a 78-year-old who won’t pair Bluetooth twice a week. If you’re shopping for a parent, screenless-and-cellular beats fitness features every time. See our best fitness tracker picks for options built around ease, not workouts.
