When she saw what I was testing, she became excited and asked to borrow it to counteract her uncomfortably hot train rides to and from the office. 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 snow skiing.

In one sense, the Embr Wave does exactly what it claims. The verdict: The Embr Wave is a nifty idea built into a clunky, awkward, and expensive novelty that is far from delivering on its promise.

There's also an app you can use to change the temperature with a little more control. Pressing a button on the device makes it heat up (or cool down) against your wrist, which then-according to the manufacturers-warms (or cools) the rest of you.

The wrist-worn device-just a little bigger than an Apple Watch-comes with an inch-wide magnetic metal strap that fastens it around your arm. Enter the Embr Wave, a marvelously weird device that promises to regulate your body temperature through your wrist, for the not-so-bargain price of $299. While HVAC technology can precisely control indoor environment, you may have to win a battle over the thermostat to customize it to your exact preference, and that personal comfort could go out the door if you, well, go outside.Īt this point in society’s technological evolution you would think we’d have an easy way to control the atmosphere in our own personal space.
