New Delhi, 31 August 2026: URBAN, a leading homegrown technology brand known for design-led innovation, today announced the launch of URBAN ARC NOTE, India’s First AI Meeting Smart Fitness Band, bringing AI-powered meeting intelligence and 24×7 wellness tracking to a screen-free wearable. Designed to record conversations directly from the wrist and transform them into searchable transcripts, meeting summaries, translations and AI-generated mind maps, ARC NOTE combines productivity and wellness in a single device. Priced at ₹6,999, it will be available from 7th September 2026, with advance bookings opening on 31st August 2026.

ARC NOTE will be available through URBAN Online, authorised trade partners, leading e-commerce platforms, online marketplaces and retail outlets across India.
The flagship ARC NOTE is designed for professionals, entrepreneurs, students and consumers who spend a significant part of their day in meetings and conversations. By bringing meeting recording and AI-powered productivity capabilities to a screen-free fitness band, URBAN is looking to expand the role of wearables beyond conventional health and activity tracking, while continuing to offer the everyday wellness features expected from a fitness band.
Speaking about the launch, Aashish Kumbhat, co-founder, URBAN, said, “Wearables have evolved far beyond simply counting steps. For a long time, advanced health and wellness technology has been associated with premium devices, making it less accessible to everyday consumers. We wanted to change that. With ARC NOTE, we are bringing AI-powered productivity and wellness together in one practical, accessible wearable, whether it is capturing an important conversation, helping users make sense of it or becoming more aware of their health. At URBAN, we believe technology is most valuable when it can make a real difference in everyday life, and ARC NOTE is a step towards putting more intelligent technology on the wrist of more Indians.”
ARC NOTE – Bringing AI Meeting Intelligence to the Wrist
At the heart of ARC NOTE is its AI Meeting Recorder, which allows users to start recording directly from the band with a simple double click and stop with a single press. The band provides an indication when recording begins, and recording is activated only by the user rather than functioning as an always-listening device. ARC NOTE can support up to approximately 16 hours of recording on a full charge.
Once a conversation is recorded, ARC NOTE’s AI-powered capabilities help turn it into structured information:
-
AI Transcription: Converts recorded conversations into searchable text, allowing users to revisit specific names, numbers, decisions and discussion points.
-
Live Translation: Translates conversations across supported languages, with support for 17+ Indian languages, helping users understand and revisit multilingual discussions.
-
Minutes of Meeting: Generates concise summaries highlighting the key points and decisions from a conversation.
-
Auto Mind Map: Organises topics, ideas and decisions into a visual mind map, making complex discussions easier to understand.
The screenless design allows users to remain focused on the conversation without another display competing for their attention. Information captured by the band is accessible through the companion app, withsupport for Android and iOS
Health Intelligence, Built for All-Day Wear
Alongside its productivity capabilities, ARC NOTE offers 24×7 health tracking, monitoring heart rate, SpO₂, sleep and stress, while its AI Health Insights use tracked data to provide personalised insights based on the user’s health patterns.
The wearable offers up to 15 days of everyday battery life and up to 30 days on standby, along with IPX68 water resistance for everyday exposure to rain, sweat and splashes. Its lightweight woven nylon strap is designed for all-day and overnight wear. The wearable carries six sensors, enabling greater data accuracy across its health and wellness tracking capabilities.
No subscription. No recurring fee.
ARC NOTE follows a subscription-free model, with meeting recording, transcription, translation, meeting minutes, mind mapping and health-tracking capabilities available without a monthly or annual subscription.
This makes ARC NOTE a single wearable for two increasingly important parts of everyday life – getting more from conversations and understanding more about personal wellness.
