Bellabeat Leaf is a tracker you can clip to your clothes or wear as a necklace or bracelet. It runs on a replaceable coin cell that lasts about six months, costs $89 to $99, and focuses on activity, sleep, stress and cycle context. Ray is worn on the wrist, adds continuous optical heart metrics and powers itself from light.
