Verdict

The Spire Stone is a unique clip-on fitness tracker that prioritizes mindfulness by using a patented respiration sensor to monitor real-time breathing patterns, alongside standard metrics like steps and calories burned. Measuring 1.25 x 1.73 x 0.55 inches and weighing just 20 grams, the device is designed to be worn discreetly on a waistband or bra strap to detect states of calm, focus, and tension through thoracic excursion. Main pros include its week-long battery life, elegant wireless charging dish with Qi compatibility, and the ability to trigger guided meditations via its companion app when stress is detected. However, users may find the device somewhat thick for a clip-on, the limited 6-hour local data storage requires frequent syncing with an iOS-only app to prevent data loss, and the clip can occasionally be difficult to secure to certain clothing.

What customers like about Spire Spire?

  • Unique focus on mindfulness and mental wellbeing by tracking breathing patterns.
  • Beautiful, stone-like aesthetic and high-quality charging dock design.
  • Calming 'Boost' features and guided meditation exercises via a well-designed companion app.
  • Accurate tension alerts that often detect stress before the user realizes it.
  • Convenient wireless charging with a long battery life (approx. 7 days).
  • Discreet and easy to clip onto a waistband or bra.

What customers dislike about Spire Spire?

  • Uncomfortable for all-day wear; its rough texture can cause skin irritation during exercise.
  • Limited fitness tracking capabilities, functioning mostly as a basic pedometer without tracking heart rate or exercise types.
  • Heavy reliance on a smartphone app, which can significantly drain the phone's battery.
  • Occasional connectivity issues and synchronization bugs between the device and app.
  • Lack of sleep tracking on the original Stone model and no on-device screen for real-time stats.
  • High price point ($130-$150 MSRP) for what some consider a 'proof of concept' device.

Spire review: Keep calm and carry on with this beautiful breath-tracking device

The Spire Mindfulness and Activity Tracker is an oval, graphite-colored stone device with a silver clip designed to be worn against the skin—such as on a waistband or inside a bra—to monitor stress by tracking breathing patterns through chest movement.
