How NOWATCH helps
Pacing made simple
Good days shouldn’t cost you the next three. NOWATCH tracks your nervous system, warns you before you overdo it, and helps you recover if you do.
Spot your triggers
From walking the dog, to a work meeting or from a coffee date to the school run, the Reactivity Monitor™ shows you exactly what drains your system and what triggers flares, helping you understand exactly how much your body can handle.
Get a nudge when it’s time to pause
When NOWATCH senses a prolonged stress response, it will vibrate. This is a signal to you that your heart rate has spiked and a flare might be imminent.
Take a breather
Open the app and follow a guided breathing exercise. Watch in real time as your body settles back into homeostasis. Over time, you’ll learn how to stay inside your energy envelope, instead of blowing past it.
Proof, not just a feeling
Finally, something to show for it.
Dysautonomia is invisible. People can’t see your nervous system misfiring. NOWATCH makes it visible, for you and for the people who need to understand.
For you
Watch your nervous system react to everyday life in real time. See which activities push you into high reactivity and which keep you steady. You’re not imagining it. It’s right there on screen.
For your doctor
Export your data and share concrete patterns with your care team. Instead of “I just don’t feel well,” show them exactly when and why your body struggled.
For family and friends
When the people around you can see what you see, they start to get it. NOWATCH gives dysautonomia a face. That changes conversations.
“It allowed me to understand, and more importantly show others, that symptoms are very real. Even when I look fine on the outside.”

Live Reactivity Monitor™
See how your body is responding to daily demands in real-time. By constantly measuring your physiological responses, we can see when your body is experiencing a stress response.
Resilience state
A resilient system is one that can use stress for momentum, but quickly returns to homeostasis after. By analysing your stress responses throughout the day, we can see how much strain your body is under (and what you can do to help!).
Prolonged stress vibration
When your body has been in high reactivity for an extended period, your watch will gently vibrate. These bio-cues help build awareness about what your body is experiencing. Log your emotions and activities to track patterns over time.
Stress Duration, Recovery and Frequency
Most wearables track how long you’re stressed, but that’s only part of the picture. A high duration might mean you’re too sensitive to stress or not recovering well. We measure frequency and recovery too, so you can pinpoint what’s really affecting your resilience.

FAQ
How does NOWATCH work?
NOWATCH is a health tracker disguised as a classic watch. It’s powered by research-grade sensors that track your vitals 24/7. Utilising advanced PPG and motion sensors, it continuously measures your activity, sleep and unique stress response metrics. You can find all your data and personalised health insights in the subscription-free NOWATCH app.
How is NOWATCH different from other wearables?
Unlike other wearables that focus mainly on optimizing your fitness, NOWATCH is built to regulate the nervous system. It gives you a continuous, minute-by-minute holistic view of your health, from your stress response to recovery and from activity to sleep. With the Reactivity Monitor™, you can spot rising pressure early, adapt your response, and prevent overload over time.
Designed to support rather than overload, NOWATCH gives you simple, science-backed tools to train both body and mind for a steadier nervous system. The result? Deeper awareness, habits that truly work for you and more energy to live a healthy, meaningful life.
Does the NOWATCH track physical activity, steps, and sleep?
Yes, the NOWATCH tracks all the basics: activity, steps, sleep duration and stages, night HRV (heart rate variability), and resting HR (heart rate), plus, unique stress metrics continuously captured in the Reactivity Monitor™.
