Customer Reviews of SleepTracker Pro Sleep Monitoring Watch

Customer Review: Not quite what I hoped for
Summary: 3 Stars

I was hoping that this device would actually wake me up at a good point but before I was already awake. What I've found is that just as I wake up (am consciously aware of it anyway), the watch alarm then goes off. I can't recall a single time in 2.5 months that it actually woke me out of a light sleep (at a possible waking moment). That said, I have been getting up earlier since I started using the watch, possibly because it reminds me that I should not go back to sleep after a light wakeup. If I were just basing my review on the above, I'd only give it one or two stars.

But I gave it three because I'm finding that it does help me to assess my sleep and cross reference that with different things like if I had a late dinner the night before, if I exercised the day before, if I drank alcohol, etc. This information combined with the Data A value (average duration of full sleep intervals) are useful information.

All that said, I don't think this watch is for everyone. And the software that comes with it is pretty basic and could be "A LOT" better which suggests that it was the minimal effort needed. Makes me wonder about how serious a device it really is (as opposed to a gimmick).

As others had noted, the vibration and audible alarms are not sufficient to wake people out of a deep sleep.

If I knew then what I know now, I'm not sure I would purchase this again, considering it's price.

Description of SleepTracker Pro Sleep Monitoring Watch

Worn like an everyday watch, SLEEPTRACKER is ideal for anyone who wants to wake up alert and ready to start the day, such as frequent travelers across time zones, business people looking for an extra edge, students with fluctuating schedules, or busy moms who need to wake up easily. SleepTraker PRO connects via USB to your computer, so you can download sleep data, make night-over-night comparisons, and keep track of other factors influencing your sleeping patterns with the included software. The Pro also offers three alarm choices: Vibrating, Ringing, or Both. Plus it features a sleek new metallic design. Why it Works The Key to Waking Up Refreshed Why is it so hard to wake up to a normal alarm clock? Because a normal alarm clock can't detect where you are in your sleep cycle -- a continuous cycle from deep sleep, to brief almost-awake moments, and back to deep sleep again. Occasionally, your alarm may catch you at an optimal, almost-awake moment and you wake up feeling refreshed, but usually you grope for the snooze button waking up tired and groggy. Wake at Your Perfect Time SLEEPTRACKER puts an end to that tired feeling. Once you set its alarm window, it monitors your body and continuously looks for your optimal waking times so it can wake you at just the right moment. Imagine not feeling tired in the morning and getting a few extra minutes out of your day. How does SLEEPTRACKER? work? SLEEPTRACKER continuously monitors signals from your body that indicate whether you are asleep or awake. Because you wear SLEEPTRACKER? on your wrist like a watch, its internal sensors can detect even the most subtle physical signals from your body. SLEEPTRACKER finds your best waking moments, so that waking up has never been easier.
Wake up feeling refreshed with the SleepTracker Pro Sleep Monitoring Watch. By tracking your body's natural sleep rhythms and sounding your alarm during optimal almost-awake moments, this watch helps you avoid being jarred from a deep slumber. And the watch also lets you download your sleep data to your computer so you can decide what lifestyle choices help you rest easier.



The SleepTracker Pro offers sleek styling and an easy-to-read digital display. View larger.


The SleepTracker identifies almost-awake moments that occur as your body cycles through the five stages of sleep.


How SleepTracker Works
When you wear the sleek, stylish SleepTracker on your wrist like a regular watch, internal sensors detect subtle physical signals from your body that indicate whether you are asleep or awake. This allows the SleepTracker to identify the almost-awake moments when it will be easiest to rouse you.

During the night, your body goes through a series of sleep cycles comprised of five different stages. The average adult will experience four or five cycles each night, that include light stage-one sleep, slightly deeper stage-two sleep, heavy stage three, stage-four "Delta Sleep," which is when your body rebuilds itself, and REM sleep, a unique stage during which people dream and experience significant physiological changes. Pinpointing the moments within each cycle when you are naturally closest to waking makes this alarm system truly unique.

Depending on your schedule, you can set an alarm window to last for up to 90 minutes. Since your alarm sounds at the moment during the preset alarm window when you are most alert, you will wake up refreshed instead of groggy. World travelers, business associates, busy parents, and students with early morning classes are particularly likely to enjoy the edge this gives them during the first hours of every day.

Monitoring Your Sleep Data for a Healthier Lifestyle
By using the mode button to select "data review," you can review a chronological list of the previous night's almost-awake moments. The unique "Data A" reading indicates the average time between your almost-awake moments. This reading can help you know how soundly you are sleeping. A longer Data A reading than normal may indicate a particularly restful sleep, while a shorter Data A reading and an increased number of almost-awake moments may indicate a restless night.

Taking a look at what you did prior to bed on those restless evenings can help you better understand how your waking life affects your sleep patterns. Activities such as smoking, late-evening exercise, and eating a big, spicy meal can significantly impact your night's rest and your Data A reading. The Pro model offers an expanded 12-hour window of sleep data collection.

Software included with the Pro model helps you keep track of these lifestyle factors. Simply use a USB connection to transfer sleep data from the SleepTracker watch to your computer, enter any factors you want to track, and the details of your nights become available for quick and easy comparative reviews. This helps you see the serious sleep benefits of small lifestyle adjustments.

The Only Watch You Need
The SleepTracker's innovative almost-awake technology can be set to wake you with a vibrating alarm, a ringing alarm, or both at the same time. Featuring a sporty, sophisticated look that helps it do double-duty as an everyday watch, the SleepTracker has an easy-to-read digital display with time, day, and date readouts. Also offering a GLO back-light for easy nighttime reference, and water-resistance, the SleepTracker is ready to take on your busy days and help you achieve restful nights.

What's in the Box
