Amazon has put its Bee Frontier wearable on sale for $74.99, promising conversation summaries while reserving suggested tasks and service integrations for a paid subscription.

The company announced Frontier and Bee Eclipse on Oct. 15. Eclipse is a phone-mounted alternative that Amazon says will be available soon, starting at $99.99. Amazon has not announced a release date. An earlier device, Bee Pioneer, preceded both models; Bee joined Amazon in 2025.

A Bee purchase includes conversation summaries and 14 days of history. Customers need Bee Pro for suggested tasks, a desktop app and connections to Gmail, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Alexa+ and Amazon.com. New customers receive a 30-day trial, after which the plan costs $11.99 a month or $99.99 a year. Bee says subscription revenue helps pay for the AI services behind those features.

Frontier can be worn on the wrist or clipped to clothing. It has two microphones, charges through USB-C and carries an IP67 water-resistance rating. Amazon estimates up to seven days of battery life per charge.

Eclipse attaches magnetically to a phone. Amazon says it can process in-person conversations and both sides of a phone call when activated. The company estimates more than 21 days of battery life per charge.

Amazon says a button lets users start and stop audio processing and an indicator light shows when a device is active. The company says it discards audio after processing and encrypts transcripts. For Eclipse calls, Amazon says the device prompts users to obtain other participants’ permission each time recording begins.

Trail of Bits identified 21 issues in an Amazon-commissioned assessment of Bee Private Compute. Following reviews of Amazon’s fixes, the security firm classified 17 as resolved, two as partially resolved and two as unresolved in its Sept. 9 report. It recommended targeted audits of the agent sandbox and integrations once those features are enabled for regular users.
