We believe every human being is valuable and must use their energy to be the best possible version of themselves. By using their energy in a positive, constructive way - they generate what we like to call - value energy. X-Wrist is the world’s first Value Energy Platform that allows people to efficiently reclaim expended Human Energy in the form of Energy Value Token Rewards they can spend to their own liking. We do this by rewarding the energy value people generate with real-world valuable assets, for instant gratification and bursts of motivation. Then we add on top of it a layer of machine learning and gamification principles to enforce positive, life-improving habits. Our product consists of two components: 1. X-Wrist Wearable Band (Hardware) 2. X-Wrist Mobile App (Software) If you don't own a X-Wrist band you can select Apple Health as your data source and sync your steps, distance and calories with the X-Wrist App The X-Wrist Wearable Band measures the energy value you generate from health & fitness activities and sends the data to the mobile application. The X-Wrist App acts as a digital personal coach that adapts, motivates and inspires you to build healthy habits. It gathers the measured data from the band, intelligently processes it and rewards you for your progress. * Apple Health compatible Disclaimer: Please note that X-Wrist is not for emergencies and does not replace traditional in-person care in every case or for every condition. We recommend you seek a doctor’s advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: X at 5.0 against Eat Five's 4.4. X also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months). Eat Five's advantage is ratings volume (71 vs 2) and review sentiment (56% vs 46%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

X holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eat Five has 71 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Eat Five's written reviews are positive against 46% of X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Eat Five ships an update every 3 months, X every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
