Is Temple more accurate than a chest strap?

No. Temple measured every device against a Polar H10 chest strap taped to the skin, so the strap is the standard it is chasing, not one it beat.

Who ran the heart rate study?

Temple funded it, ran it, and analysed it in-house. Goyal has invited independent labs to repeat it, and none has published results yet.

How much does Temple cost?

Pre-orders opened in India at ₹85,000, which includes a lifetime subscription and a 14-day return policy there. Delivery is expected around three months after ordering.
