What it finds · Named

Wearables

Watches, earbuds, bands and glasses. They move with their owner.

What it is

Watches, fitness bands, earbuds, headphones, hearing aids and smart glasses.

Who uses it

Everyone, worn on the body, so they move with their owner.

What it can see

Health and motion data about their own wearer. Earbuds and glasses may carry microphones or cameras, used by the wearer's phone.

What it can't do

A wearable's advertisement does not observe you. Some use a fixed address and so are easy to recognise again, which is why they often show up as recurring when a colleague or family member is nearby.

How Wavelens finds it

BLE advertisement names, company IDs and service UUIDs (heart-rate, audio, hearing-aid profiles) matched against public assignments and vendor patterns.

What to do when you see one

Mark your own as "Mine". Nothing else is required.

Phone or companion?

The phone alone hears these over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. A companion adds range, not a new kind of detection.

See wearables named while you drive

Wavelens names wearables as it hears them, so the trackers, cameras and drones stand out from the crowd, and a device that keeps pace with you is noticed. Everyone who joins the Android beta before the Play Store launch gets the Play version free with a promo code. Offline, no account, no network permission.

Classification is a best-effort guess from public signature data. Check before you act on it. None of this is a claim about who owns a device, why it is there, or whether it is lawful.
