Who should buy which
Longevity-stack buyers who already track HRV with Oura, Whoop, or Garmin and want to test a vagal-tone intervention - and who specifically want an open-loop wearable rather than another sensor.
You want a device that measures your physiology, you're looking for FDA-cleared treatment of any condition, or you're skeptical that cutaneous vibration without biofeedback can shift autonomic state.
Frequent flyers (4+ hour flights), standing/walking professionals (nurses, surgeons, teachers, retail), runners and hikers in recovery, the healthspan-60+ persona managing venous insufficiency or varicose risk, anyone who wants the cheapest evidence-backed recovery intervention in the catalog.
You already wear medical-grade prescription compression (20-30 mmHg or higher) under specialist supervision, Sockwell's 15-20 mmHg moderate tier is intentionally lower-than-medical to encourage daily wear, not replace prescription stockings.
