Deepinder Goyal has revealed that the hardest part of making Temple wasn’t the wearable itself; instead, it was the primary grip of the product. It was the tiny Grip that keeps the device attached to the skin. Temple is one of Goyal's most-discussed devices, developed by Eternals. It is a wearable made to track blood flow in the brain. Goyal says its medical-grade Grip can stay on during running, jumping, sauna sessions, swimming and showers. Users also get an unlimited supply of Grips with the device while washing the face, doing skincare, and applying makeup.
Praising the grip of the device, Goyal stated, “Yes, with single-use Grips (aka tapes). Price includes unlimited supply of Grips. Not weird; you don't even feel you are wearing Temple. Inventing the right Grips was as hard as making the device. We have now gotten them right for 99% of our audience.”
However, the Zomato founder says it should not be used for scuba diving. In that case, the limit comes from the device, not the Grip. In this case, Goyal mentioned, “You can remove Temple, but not reuse a Grip. Always use a fresh Grip.”
A Grip cannot be used again after removal. Goyal said some users may keep one on for around seven days, which is also close to the battery life. Though he advised an alternation every 2 or 3 days, Goyal at the same time mentioned, “Maybe our medical grade grips are so good, and they keep your skin so nice and supple that it never itches.”
According to the Eternal Vice-Chairman, the pre-order of the product will start soon, though no exact date has yet been mentioned. Additionally, the colors include True Gold, Rose Gold, Black Mirror, Real Jade, Deep Blue, and Purple Funk.

Temple is not meant to be a device that people wear only for a short test. The idea is to make it part of everyday life. Goyal said users may take about five minutes to get used to wearing it.
The Grip is therefore more than just a way to attach Temple to the skin. It could decide how comfortable and useful the wearable feels over time. With pre-orders expected soon, the tiny Grip may prove to be one of Temple’s most important features.
