IFA 2026: Luna Band starts shipping worldwide for $149

Another screenless fitness band has just gone on sale, but this one is doing things a little differently. Luna Band is now shipping worldwide for $149, and its full health-coaching package is included without a monthly fee.

I stopped by Luna’s stand at IFA in Berlin to see the Band in person. A full review will follow in the coming weeks, once I have had enough time to find out how well the tracking and LifeOS coaching hold up away from the show floor.

The waitlist phase is over

Luna first showed the Band at CES earlier this year, so this is not a brand-new product reveal. The news from IFA is that regular worldwide shipping has started, following a waitlist that Luna says attracted more than 100,000 people.

The company also says its first limited drop sold out. US orders are now listed as shipping immediately for $149, including taxes and delivery, while Luna has announced a price of €149 in other supported markets.

That lands it right in the middle of the growing screenless tracker market. It costs more than the $99 Fitbit Air but less than the $199 Garmin CIRQA, and it does not come with the ongoing membership required by WHOOP.

We recently compared the main options in our screenless fitness tracker buying guide. Luna Band can now join that group with a fairly straightforward pitch: wear it all day, let it collect the data and leave the interpretation to the app.

Small tracker, plenty going on in the app

The Band weighs 24 grams and can be worn on the wrist or upper arm. There is no display, although a vibration motor handles alarms, prompts and other nudges without trying to turn the device into a tiny smartwatch.

It tracks all the usuals, including heart rate, HRV, blood oxygen, skin temperature, sleep and daily activity. Workout features include VO2 max, training load, heart-rate zones and more than 60 sports modes, with automatic detection for a few.

There is no GPS inside the Band, so it uses a connected phone when a route is needed. Luna claims up to ten days of battery life, a one-hour charging time and 5 ATM water resistance.

The hardware is only half of the idea. Luna’s LifeOS software takes the readings and uses them to build a daily plan.

Its Micro Apps cover things such as caffeine timing, hydration, jet lag, fitness age and circadian rhythm. Luna says adding a goal can change what the Band measures, how often it takes readings and the guidance shown in the daily calendar. That sounds useful, but it is also the part that needs the most testing.

We will put those claims to the test

This will not be my first time testing one of the company’s devices. I reviewed the Luna Ring 2 earlier this year and came away fairly impressed by its sleep tracking, battery life and clean app, although exercise heart rate was its obvious weak spot.

The Band gives me an interesting point of comparison because it moves Luna’s sensors from the finger to the wrist or upper arm. The upcoming review will look at whether that helps with workout heart rate while keeping the useful sleep, recovery and coaching features I found on the ring.

There is plenty to like on paper, particularly the ten-day battery claim and lack of a required subscription. For now, the important bit is that Luna Band has moved beyond the waitlist and can finally be ordered in most countries.
