Vibeat Wrist Pulse Oximeter - OxyU Bluetooth Wearable Blood Oxygen Monitor with Finger Sensor | Heart Rate & O2 Tracking Continuously, Real-time Reminder, Free APP & PC Report, FSA/HSA Eligible

I have a need to monitor my SpO2 for health reasons, so I use a continuous monitor most of the day every day.Pro's:- accurate. It reads exactly the same as the expensive big machines in the pulmonary rehab, but continues to read properly further into heavy cardio exercise before getting some interrupted readings from extreme movement. Surprised it outperformed the pulmonary rehab units... but it did.- small and light. I have others and this one is the smallest and lightest continuous monitor I own- easy to connect to your phone and get data. It just works... nothing special to do or buttons to push, couldn't be easier. The app found the monitor and asked me for the last four digits of the s/n on the back of the monitor the first time I connected to it. after that, I just open the app on my phone and it just connects and works.- continuous data. The fact it logs your readings so often (not like an apple watch that takes it once in a while and only when you are perfectly still) is very helpful to see exactly what makes your O2 saturation drop and for exactly how long, in real time and also historically with the app data. My doc thinks it's great I have this data for him.- Auto turn on / off - this prevents you from putting it on and going to sleep and not realizing you forgot to turn it on, or maybe accidentally turning it off. Also, there is no on/off button to malfunction over time. I was skeptical of this at first, but it makes it foolproof and works flawlessly.- good support. I asked the company technical questions about the data logging features and the app via email and they were quick to respond and answered thoroughly.- comfortable - this one being fairly small helps it be less noticeable to the wearer during everyday life and while sleeping.Cons:- the battery seems to last all day or all night and then some, but if you are one who needs to wear it 24/7, it requires more charging sessions per day than the long battery life versions. The vast majority of people buying these will never need to wear one of these 24/7, so this is irrelevant for most... and the small size is a great tradeoff for battery life for people who just use for exercise and/or sleep monitoring.- The cable for the finger sensor comes out right at your wrist and if you wear really low on your wrist will sometimes hit your hand if you bend it all the way back. Probably not great on that connector over time either. It's not really been an issue, but I think could be one day with heavy use.- The price is a bit high. Of course, it is a continuous monitor and has a great app and logs data, and given all that the price is reasonable given its a premium product and just works, but if you don't need all the premium features, the premium price is... well... premium. It did have a $35 coupon when I purchased it making the price $144.99 which is much more palatable than the original price of $179.99.

Paid $175 and it lasted only 30 days. Tried to contact manufacturer numerous tomes in numerous ways and they won’t respond or allow me to make a warranty claim. This is grounds for an “F” from the Better Business Bureau. Very disappointing for as much as these costs. Worked nicely fo 30 days.

After possible sleep apnea diagnosis, I've been setting this up to check oxygen levels overnight. Easy to load app, easy to connect and download data to my phone. Finger ring & bracelet is very comfortable. After it starts monitoring, the display shuts off so you can't see the live reading unless you jiggle it a bit and you can't see live numbers in the app, you have to wait until the end of the session to download the readings to your phone. Device gives off a vibration if O2 levels get low or heart rate gets too high which is nice (but also stressful.) It is what it is. Overall happy, will continue to use and eventually present info to my dr.

I use a pulse ox monitor for tracking sleep apnea and general health, and this OxyU device is a great compromise between smartwatches/fitness trackers (not always accurate) and medical grade devices (less comfortable to wear, and more expensive).Comfort:As shown in the product pictures, the OxyU consists of a wristband (with the digital display), as well as a wired finger sensor (connects via micro USB to the wristband). The wristband was comfortable to wear and feels less intrusive and lighter than a typical smartwatch or fitness tracker. The finger sensor is also easy to wear and allows a range of motion. It is easier to wear than than pulse ox rings as the bulk of the device is not on your finger but in a more comfortable spot on your wrist.I was unable to determine if the wristband itself can be replaced easily, but it would be nice if the ViBeat store had other wristband options if they can be replaced (with different colors, etc.).Accuracy:I compared the SpO2 and HR values with a standard fingertip pulse oximeter, as well as my O2Ring, and the values were accurate between each. I don't believe most consumer devices have medical grade accuracy, but I did find that the OxyU matched the generally more accurate fingertip pulse oximeter, versus smartwatches and other fitness trackers.One advantage of the OxyU is that the data is recorded continuously and not every few minutes like with some smartwatches or fitness trackers. As shown in the screenshot image, you can see the real-time data flow through the mobile app and easily see changes in SpO2 and HR as they happen! There is also a motion indicator that is tracked in real-time as well, which is nice to have as a reference for sleep tracking and sleep apnea monitoring.User interfaces:The device is easy-to-use as it has automatic on/off functionality as soon as you put the device is on. Once turned on, the display shows SpO2, HR and battery level and is easy to read. The mobile application easily pairs with the device via Bluetooth. The real-time tracking is also easy to understand, and the historical data is accessible from the mobile app as well. You can zoom into each day's data to get more specific information down to the minute, etc.Overall, I found the OxyU to be a convenient and easy-to-use device for sleep monitoring! I have an O2Ring that was made by the same manufacturer and it has lasted three years and still works great, so I have confidence that this is a high quality product!

Product works great when it is not falling off - it appears to be some design errors and typical Chinese cost cutting in production made this useful product into something less desirableWrist band is counter intuitive and the device attachment is insecure (flimsy) and keeps falling off.I used it effectively for a month and then the device fell off from its casing, what seems to be an IC was attached to the casing itself with ineffective glue which did not hold made the device useless.Trying to save a few pennies did serious injustice to this decent product - penny wise - pound foolish.
