This early access build features compatibility with a select lineup of Oculus Quest titles, including Sairento, RacketNX, OhShape, and Synth Riders. Burning calories gain you XP which can be used to unlock different skins for your VR smartwatch, such as Common, Uncommon, and Rare. According to YUR there are a total of 60 levels in which to advance.
Due to the ongoing outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19), YUR is offering the sleeve free for a limited time. There’s also a companion app you can download free on iOS and Android.
