Epic Fail...see you bright and early!

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

Listen to the other reviewers!!! I love withings and own the scale and blood pressure monitor and use the health mate app daily. I pre-ordered, I couldn't wait. I should have waited...

The Aura is simply not ready. We are forced beta testers. My setup process went like this: read poorly written quick start manual (please abbreviate minute using "min" withings), followed it and then waited for the calibration process. Now the trouble starts. What is calibrating? What should I be doing? What is the status? Nothing. So I go watch Big Bang Theory and come back. Is it done? Let's assume it is. Ok let's join it to the app, ok download firmware update, ok...crash! Error, red X. Restart app and now it can't even find the aura device, so I unplug and restart everything. Now it can find Aura but can't connect, so I unplug and restart everything. Now I get all the way through the process, but when it crashed originally it was only part way through the update and it didn't start again. Did it finish? Did it recalibrate? How do I set the aIarm? What sleep program is on? Where are the settings? I have no idea.

Current status: Right now it's stuck in military time. I can't change it. It says Sleep pulse, not aura in the health mate app. I can't change it. The alarm is turned on at the wrong time and way too early;/ I can't change it. What program is active? I don't know and can't change it.

Finally, I have a king size bed and the sensor is just way too short to reach where I sleep, so I put it on top the mattress and under the sleeping pad so I could slide it over but now there is a hard plastic lump on the edge of the bed. Is this a problem? I don't know. I can't change it.

Why don't I know any of the things listed in this review? Because there is no instruction manual, only a worthless quick start guide that assumes everything will work perfectly. That might be fair if the Aura was Apple like and just worked (like my other Withings products which I love), but it doesn't. I haven't tested the sleep accuracy as I just got it today, but I'm not expecting much. At least I know I will be waking up early on my day off and getting things done, because the alarm is on outrageously early and I can't change the time.

Summary: Wait till people start posting great reviews before buying!

Withings...Fire someone! Fix Aura, and learn from this. You had me as a customer 100%. Epic Fail.

I love it, easy and convenient

The short review - I am very happy with this and have had no issues. Read on for more info...

I decided to buy this despite the negative reviews because I have other Withings products and I very much like the idea of integrated tools. After three nights with it I can tell you a few things.

It is easy to setup, it took about two minutes. The app provides very clear instructions and you don't need to do much other than tap next once or twice.

The measurements seem accurate. I am also a CPAP user and I have some data from my cpap machine. It takes extra work to get to that data in any useful way so this is much easier. I did compare the data and the Aura seems to reflect the same info in terms of how long and how deeply I was sleeping.

I didn't think I would like the built in light but I have to say it seems to work. I can't really say if it is subconscious or not at this point, maybe it doesn't matter if it is anyway as long as it works... I do see to fall asleep faster and wake up with less snoozing.

some complaints I have seen
C - The sensor is not long enough.
R - True, I don't sleep right on the edge of my bed either but Withings says the rounded end (with the cord) does NOT need to hang out the side of the bed. You can put the whole thing under and center it to where you normally sleep.

C - Its hard to setup or won't sync.
R - I wonder if this was a problem of the earlier software? I had no trouble setting it up.

C - Customer service is unresponsive.
R- Again I wonder if this has changed overall my experience was great? I contacted support to learn more about the sensor placement and received a response the same day.

C - Lack of instructions on which port to connect the sensor pad.
R - Personally I don't get this one it was very clear on the 1 page setup document that the group of two usb ports are for the sensor only. Maybe the instruction were not as clear at one point?

C - (unclear setup/instructions)Can I or can't I lay in the bed while calibrating the sleep sensor. (this is done once after you put it under your mattress)
R - The instructions and app say not to lay in the bed while it calibrates. They are adjusting for the weight of the mattress (or mattress topper)

C - It doesn't do X
R - They seem to be hard at work to bring more features. Currently the product tells you what it should and has a great clean user experience. You can see their roadmap here. https://withings.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203410183-Withings-Aura-Upcoming-Features-and-Fixes?preview%5Btheme_id%5D=201082606

sleeping data accurate?

Reviewed in India on December 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

i have some withings products and it have been satisfying me.
i wanted to have acurate alarm clock so i bought it.
for this purpose, it works well.
However,sleeping time it records seems too short and quite different from that withings active(smart watch) shows.
my expectation for withings was too high so it is a littele disappointment.

Acheté depuis 2 bons mois, j'en suis vraiment content.
Les +++ s'endormir avec un léger bruit de fond et une lumière rouge. Je n'y croyais pas, j'avais tort
Les + Musique, lampe de lecture, réveil, les commandes de bases sans Smartphone (pas encore le café mais on ne sait jamais)

Les attentions:
Pour l'installation. ne pas avoir peur du bruit au début CE N'EST QUE PENDANT L'INSTALLATION.
En suite il faut un peu de temps pour que la mise à jour se fasse, que le WIFI et Bluetooth se connectent mais rien de catastrophique.
Il faut compter environ 30 minutes pour l'ensemble mais sans soucis si vous suivez les étapes décrites.
J'ai par moment eu un peu peur (ca durait longtemps) donc éteindre et rallumé mais sans effet négatif. Comme je disais soyez patient (pas comme moi).
Ah oui assez cool de voir les résultats tant sur smartphone (on voit le sommeil, freq cardiaque, temp lumière et bruit) que sur le site avec un navigateur Voir images :-)

How much is your sleep worth?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

This will be my first review of any product I bought on Amazon in the past 5 years - this is how much I love this device.

It works.

Having ADHD and suffering from depression that comes and goes whenever it pleases, sleeping has always been hard for me. I've tried many things before, including sleeping pills, sleep tracker apps and meditation. Nothing works like this little device. The red light and the background sounds help you calm down and actually make you fall asleep quicker, while the alarm wakes you up very gently with your choice of either pleasant melodies that come with the Aura, or your music from spotify. In my experience the pre recorded tracks work better, as the waking is very gentle and smooth. 3 weeks in my energy levels are much higher, I have finally acquired a sleeping pattern, I fall asleep much quicker, wake up happy (according to online research this is because of the wavelength of blue light and how it affects the photoreceptors in our eyes) and generally feel healthier. Waking up is much easier. I'm a heavy sleeper, and used to set 8 alarms every morning to wake me up. Now I only need 1.
I have not encountered the problems with the sensor, but I sleep alone. Perhaps adding a second sensor might do the trick (but I'm just speculating here). So far the readings were quite accurate, and actually help you see how good is your quality of sleep. Seeing how much of REM sleep I get helps me with practicing lucid dreaming.

Pros:
-It works
-USB ports are a nice touch
-Spotify connectivity
-accurate sleep tracking

Cons:
-As previously mentioned the touch controls are a bit weird. The idea is nice, but the implementation is slightly overcomplicated.
-The app is not very well designed, but it does the job
-Cannot change the time of the alarm unless connected to bluetooth on your phone and paired with Aura. While it is mildly annoying, so far have not proven itself to be an issue, as the app lets you add multiple alarms for several days. Aura tracks your sleep every night and even if you're not connected, it will update the readings.

Despite the cons I give this device 5 stars simply because it works and does so brilliantly.

Sehr gut zum Einschlafen und gut zur Auswertung des Schlafs.

Reviewed in Germany on September 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

Trotz vieler negativer Berichte habe ich mir das Gerät bei einer Aktion zum halben Preis gekauft. Die Koppelung mit meinem Iphone 6 hat ohne Probleme funktioniert und auch die Befestigung der Sensormatte ist direkt auf dem Lattenrost bei einem Bett mit Rahmen kein Problem. Ich hätte es nicht gedacht, aber das Programm zum Einschlafen funktioniert wirklich sehr gut. Das Licht der Lampe ist dabei auch sehr hochwertig und ausreichend zum Lesen. Die Aufzeichnung der Schlafphasen funktioniert gut. Es wird allerdings (logischerweise) nicht erkannt, ob man im Bett etwas ruhig liest oder schläft. Außerdem werden Temperatur und Puls aufgezeichnet. Und: Wie ich eben gesehen habe, wird seit einem eben eingespielten Firmwareupdate endlich auch der Geräuschpegel aufgezeichnet. Diese Zusatzinformationen werden dabei in der App angezeigt, Helligkeit und Geräusche allerdings nicht auf der Internetseite. Ist nicht ganz logisch und sehr schade, da die Skalierung auf einem Iphone doch sehr eingeschränkt ist. Die Funktion zum Aufwachen ist auch gut. Die Lichtstärke wird dabei langsam erhöht und am Ende ein wählbarer Klang/Musik gespielt. Mittlerweile ist die Firmware so ausgereift, dass ich das Gerät sehr empfehlen kann. Ob es den regulären Preis wert ist, muss jeder selbst entscheiden. Es sind viele Funktionen und hochwertige Komponenten verbaut, so dass ich es es für den damaligen Auktionspreis uneingeschränkt empfehlen kann. Verbesserungsbedarf besteht bei der App und der Darstellung auf der Internetseite.
