For six years, NOWATCH has been the wearable that doesn't fight for your attention. Today, we're becoming POLSEN Health.

Back in 2020, we never set out to build a smartwatch, we built the first Awareable. That was step one. Our plan looked beyond just one device, we always wanted to build a company that puts humans first. With our new name comes a shift in focus: from something you wear to the people who wear it.

An ode to our Amsterdam roots, in Dutch, POLSEN has two meanings:

1- Wrists
2 - To check in with someone

Checking in has always been at the core of what we do, and will become even more prominent in the future. Our sensors catch a stress response before you'd even feel it. Always keeping watch over you, but only speaking up if there's something worth looking at, not just for the sake of pulling you back into an app.

The truth is that most of this industry profits by keeping you hooked on a subscription while it learns everything about you. At POLSEN, we do neither. Like it always has, your data stays yours: never ever sold. Our take on privacy isn’t a policy, it’s just what we think is right.

None of this was ever really about selling more technology. It's about building the kind of company we always thought this industry should have had.

We’re the same team we've always been, sharing the same mission we started in 2020. We now just have a name that finally says what we're actually building.

Welcome to POLSEN Health, it’s great to have you here.

👋🏼 Say hello to our latest feature - the NOWATCH Overview Page!

This personalised dashboard is designed to make it easier for you to monitor your stress and recovery. The simple overview includes an Awake and Asleep function, so you can easily track daily stress metrics, your sleep patterns, and activities, without having to decode numbers. We choose to steer away from standardised scoring because our goal is to help you identify and adjust small lifestyle factors that may affect your stress sensitivity and resilience. It’s all about building that intrinsic motivation for feeling good - long term.

Just a few minutes of exercise per day can have a profound effect on how you feel.

Exercise increases your heart rate, which triggers norepinephrine, a chemical that helps the brain deal with stress more effectively. The increase in blood flow to the brain means more energy and more oxygen, which results in increased cognitive performance.

The NOWATCH is Waterproof up to 5ATM, which allows for all shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or in the ocean.

Water has a powerful physiological effect on the body. It triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body’s ‘rest and digest’ response. In this state, your heart rate and blood pressure lower, your digestion is stimulated and your body is able to relax. The next time you find yourself swimming, try to notice how your body feels.

Our bodies respond to daily events in different ways. By logging your activities in the NOWATCH app, you can begin to monitor the changes in your physiology over time. Whether it be high intensity sports, meditation or grocery shopping; tracking your activities will help you better understand your body and the way you feel.
