In addition, the device comes equipped with five LED lights that are used to inform users of their current heart-rate zone. According to the company, the new device will replace the Peloton Heart Rate Band -- a high-quality heart-rate sensor that, unfortunately, many users complain is uncomfortable during workouts. As a result, the new band devices are much mess obtrusive. However, it does lack the ANT+ technology of the Peloton Heart Rate Band, relying solely on [optical sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tband). Overall, the launch of the new device appears geared towards promoting the brand's new Strength platform.
