The Sona Connected Bracelet is a sleek, jewelry-inspired tracker that connects to the Caeden app, available for iPhone. Sona is an activity tracker for mind and body, which measures heart rate and activity and trains mental focus and resilience to stress through a science-based meditation program called Resonance. Sona contains a next-generation heart rate sensor that can track Heart Rate Variability, a metric that requires 10x the accuracy of a standard heart rate monitor.
The Sona Connected Bracelet can track:
Active Time and Resonance Mediation Goals
Sona is one of the first consumer wearables to track Heart Rate Variability, which requires ten times the accuracy of standard beats per minute measurements.
Sona can track any activity that raises your heart rate. Sona uses your unique resting heart rate and personal heart rate zones to determine when you are in an elevated heart rate zone. You will start to receive Active Time credit each time your heart rate is above your active time threshold for 5 consecutive minutes or more. Active Time is a more accurate metric of exercise than steps, and is capable of measuring your activity during many different forms of exercise, including weight lifting and yoga.
The Sona Connected Bracelet does not track sleep at this time.
Sona is available in either S/M or M/L. To determine your size, please measure the circumference of your wrist about one finger’s width above your wrist bone (toward your elbow).
S/M: 7.5” around or below
M/L: Above 7.5” around
Sona is crafted with a full grain leather or a silicone band and custom-milled, ion-plated stainless steel hardware.
The Sona Connected Bracelet is water resistant (IP code IPX5), meaning it can withstand splashes of water. We do not recommend prolonged exposure to or submersion in water (e.g. showers and swimming). We recommend using the silicone strap when Sona will be exposed to moisture and during rigorous physical activity and sports.
The Sona Connected Bracelet can possibly accommodate straps that do not exceed 18mm in width for softer materials and 17.5mm for harder/stiffer materials. The thickness of any strap should be under 2mm.
We cannot make any guarantees regarding the fit of third party straps with your bracelet. Please ensure the snug fit of the Sona is not compromised or your readings may be affected.
Yes! We plan to release new color combinations in the future. Join our mailing and follow our social media @caedenofficial for the most up-to-date information.
Sona’s battery can last up to three days on a single charge.
Sona can remain connected for up to 10 meters (33 feet) in an open environment. The range will vary depending on interference from walls or other mechanical obstructions. The range can also vary depending on the presence of microwave ovens or other wireless devices within range.
Sona can be worn during hot yoga, but we recommend wearing the silicone strap to class. Wearing Sona in the sauna will not permanently damage the device, but in temperatures above 135º Fahrenheit (57º Celsius) the bracelet will automatically shut down sensor operations to protect the internal electronics and ensure customer safety.
The Sona Connected Bracelet does not have a screen. We designed Sona to be discreet and to look like an accessory. All data can be accessed on the Caeden app.
The Sona Connected Bracelet features optional vibrating call and text notifications. It does not feature vibrating alarms at this time.
The Sona Connected Bracelet can store data for up to one week before syncing with the Caeden app.
Sona measures your heart rate intermittently during the day, more often during Active Time, and constantly when the Caeden app is open or during a Resonance session.
HRV readings are taken anytime your heart rate is measured. Caeden uses a proprietary algorithm to calculate your unique Daily HRV score.
Sona tracks steps through an internal accelerometer. Sona does not have GPS at this time.
Sona calculates calories burned using a combination of your biometric data, heart rate and accelerometer data.
Sona contains magnets that generate a magnetic field and may cause interference with electronic equipment. If using a medical device, including but not limited to a cardiac pacemaker and implanted defibrillator, please consult a physician and the manufacturer of your medical device before wearing and handling Sona.
Sona is not yet sold in stores, but we have a thirty day return policy, so you can try Sona risk-free, anytime.

If you’re just getting started with your Sona, be sure to:
Remove your Sona from the box and attach it to the included charging dock cable. Connect to power source and let Sona charge for at least one hour.
Find the Caden App on the App Store by searching for “Caeden”. Download and open the Caeden App and follow our onboarding process. Welcome to Caeden!
Sona’s clasp was designed to maintain a sleek, minimal aesthetic. The clasp has a firm closure for a more secure fit. The adjustable portion of the strap passes between the clasp and the wrist so that the metal hardware does not sit directly against the skin to provide additional comfort. To open your Sona, pull on the strap from either side of the clasp. Slide Sona on your wrist, and press on the clasp to snap it shut.
Locate the pairing button beneath your Sona’s strap.
Press the button firmly for 1 second.
It may take up to 60 seconds to pair your Sona. Make sure your Sona is on your wrist so it can measure your heart rate. Once it’s paired, you will see the “Connected” screen. Success!
If you are having trouble connecting your Sona to the Caeden App, a reset may help you get back on track. Start by opening the Caeden App’s Settings menu and, depending on whether your Sona is currently paired or unpaired, select the appropriate device action:
Attach your Sona to the charging dock or cable and make sure it is connected to power.
Locate the pairing button underneath the strap. Push and hold for 15 seconds.
After you release the button, the Sona will buzz, indicating that the reset was successful.
To prepare your Sona for its next pairing connection, you will need to forget it from your iPhone’s Bluetooth™ settings.
* Please be aware that resetting will delete all data stored on your Sona since your last sync with the Caeden app.
While charging, the charger displays an orange light. Once Sona is fully charged, the light will turn white.
Sona works best when worn one finger’s width above your wrist (toward your elbow). Sona should be worn snugly, so that no light can be seen leaking from the sides. If you can see the lights, adjust your Sona to a tighter size or move it further up your arm.
If the tail of the strap is blocking the sensor, slide the sensor along the bracelet until it is no longer obscured.
Note: Tattoos, scars, and hair can affect the accuracy of your reading. For best results, wear Sona with the sensor sitting on bare skin.
To adjust the size of your Sona, fix the hook on the interior clasp to a different hole along the leather strap.
Changing the strap of your Sona is easy. Simply pull the strap free of the metal housing and insert your new strap. For leather straps, you will first need to unhook the strap’s size hole from the clasp to completely open the strap.
To install a new strap, simply feed the strap through on one end of the sensor housing and out the other. Again, for leather bands, you will need to remove the clasp from one side.
Both the hardware and strap of the Sona can be wiped with a damp cloth. You can also gently clean the silicone strap with warm water and soap.

All Caeden products come with a 30-day return policy and one year warranty. Please see our full Return Policy and Warranty Information for more details.
Active Time is a measurement of your daily activity and exercise that uses minutes rather than steps. More accurate than step counting, Active Time uses your personal heart rate zones (as learned by your Sona) to determine when you are in an elevated heart rate/calorie burn zone. You will receive credit in the Caeden app for Active Time minutes throughout your day. Because Active Time is based on heart rate rather than steps, it is ideal for measuring a wider range of activities including but not limited to weight lifting, cycling and yoga.
Heart Rate Variability is the measurement of the variation in distance between the individual beats of your heart. It may come as a surprise to learn that our heart beats are not steady–the intervals between beats vary constantly. HRV has been used by scientists, athletes, and militaries as an indicator of overall health. In general, the higher your HRV the better, as a higher HRV indicates increased heart adaptability and responsiveness to your environment.
The Caeden app measures HRV during Resonance meditation sessions, as well as throughout your day. Every day you will receive an average daily HRV score, indicating your overall health for that day. HRV can be improved through consistent practice of Resonance meditation (we recommend at least 10 minutes per day). When you are tired, stressed, or sick, your HRV score may dip.
Resonance is a paced breathing meditation developed by scientists to train your body to control your heart rate through paced breathing. It has been shown in clinical settings to increase resilience to mental and physical stress, and has been used in clinical applications to help people with chronic stress, alcoholism, and PTSD.

From the home screen, click the Settings wheel on the upper left corner. Select “Edit Your Profile” to change your goals.
The Caeden app home screen provides an at-a-glance representation of your daily Active Time and Resonance progress. The inner golden ring represents your progress toward your Resonance goal; when you have completed your Resonance minutes for the day, the wheel will appear full. Similarly, the outer ring represents how many Active Time minutes you have logged for the day, with the blue spokes visualizing the intensity of your exercise.
Swiping to the left screen on the Caeden app opens the interactive charts for activity, energy (calories burned), heart rate, steps, and distance. Clicking on the calendar icon in the top right corner of the screen will open your monthly statistics for these categories.
You can scroll through your progress day by day on the home screen by clicking the left and right arrows next to “Today” at the top of the screen.
Your live heart rate is represented in the center of the home screen when the Caeden app is open on your phone. If you have not opened the app in a while, it may take a few minutes for your stored data to sync before your live heart rate reading begins.
Your daily HRV score is accessed by swiping up on the “Your Daily Health” section at the bottom of the home screen. The Caeden app gives you a daily HRV score as well as an overview of your HRV for the week, and insight into your progress.
The Caeden app comes with six built-in Resonance sessions to match your needs throughout the day.
Rise prepares you to begin your day, Relax helps to calm and center you, Boost recharges your energy and focus, Breathe works on improving your technique and accuracy, and Rest relaxes your mind and body to prepare you for deep rest. The aforementioned five sessions use both a visual and audio pacer. The sixth session, Free, allows you to select your own visual pacer and meditate without audio guidance.
For each session you can choose from five different session lengths: 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes, as well as “Expert”–up to forty minutes.
The Focus score you receive at the completion of each Resonance session indicates how accurately you were able to control your heart rate with your breathing. The animated graph at the bottom of the screen shows your Focus levels throughout the session. At first, you may achieve a score of 10-20%. Achieving 25% as a beginner is a great result. You can improve your Focus score with regular practice, eventually exceeding 50%, and possibly even reaching as high as 80-90% once you are an expert. Our founder Nora regularly achieves scores in the high 80’s–send us a screenshot if you are able to beat her!
Shortness of breath during Resonance meditation is an indication of hyperventilation. Rather than focusing on exhaling and inhaling deeper to extend your breath, try breathing slowly and naturally for the four second inhale and six second exhale. Make sure your breath is coming from your belly, rather than your chest. If you are still having difficulty, try a five second inhale and five second exhale.
