This Is The Smartest Accessory Trend To Come Out Of Fashion Week
London Fashion Week has wrapped, but fashion month is far from over. As the shows move from one European capital to the next, so does the street-style conversation. The clothes may change, but the accessories still matter: the sunglasses, the shoes, the watch, the piece that makes a look feel considered. Our latest discovery? A classic detail that has a secret second purpose…
In Partnership With Polsen Health
The wearable that does not look like one
Health trackers and stylish accessories have rarely occupied the same category. Until now. NOWATCH by Polsen Health is designed to look like a traditional timepiece rather than fitness technology, with an analogue face. The collection sits easily alongside a tailored jacket, slouchy denim or your favourite sunglasses, without taking over the rest of your look.
When you consider every detail of an outfit, the last thing you want is a device that looks out of place.
Why the fashion set love it
The appeal is not simply that Polsen looks good. The design doesn’t force you to choose between style and useful health insight. You can wear it with your existing jewellery and even let it replace your everyday timepiece. It works with the same kind of wardrobe that travels through London, Milan and Paris: polished but personal. The brand is so stylish, it even partnered with 5000 for its London Fashion Week show.
On the practicality front, you can even wear it in the shower thanks to its waterproof protection, meaning you can put it on and forget about it, with the battery lasting up to eight days at a time.
I’ve been in the fashion industry for 15 years, and this is the first health tracker that actually looks cool enough to wear to fashion week. I wore mine around London and was able to see my overall stats in the app by the end of the week – I did so many steps!

Health tracking, without the interruptions
Polsen watches quietly track your body’s responses throughout the day, but don’t display distracting notifications, scores or reminders on your wrist.
When you want to explore your health insights, you can open the accompanying app on your phone. When you do not, the watch remains just that: a considered, analogue-looking accessory that does its work in the background.
If you’re trying to dial back your screentime, but still want to track your health everyday, this is the perfect solution.
Enduring trends over quick stats
Much like its timeless, versatile design – crafted to sit effortlessly in your wardrobe for years, rather than a season -Polsen Health takes a longer‑term view of your wellbeing. One late night or stressful afternoon does not tell you everything about how your body is doing. Instead, it helps you look at meaningful changes over time. By tracking your body’s responses second by second, it can reveal patterns that you might miss when you focus on a single score.
It is a more considered way to use health data, particularly if the idea of constantly monitoring yourself feels more stressful than helpful.
Alongside the usual metrics like steps, sleep and activity, Polsen focuses on showing how you’re using your energy, so you can have more of it. Their reactivity monitor gives a live feed of how intensely your body is responding to daily demands, helping you spot where you’re spending most of your resources.
