Sock and Camera
The sock is great for getting readings, can be a bit laggy however the camera is horrific. I gave a three star as it seems to just be for IOS that it lags and constantly does not work as I have two other devices it works ok on. It is extremely frustrating though. I have had this for seven months and the issue just keeps getting worse, no update fixes it.

Love the sock; but app is terrible.
The sock is excellent, such peace of mind knowing that there’s monitoring of your baby, their breathing and their pulse. The app however, is terrible.
You cannot rotate/flip/invert the camera view, so you see the baby either sideways or upside down in the app. Other companies offer this, I don’t know what’s stopping Owlet. This is a basic software addition that would solve a very frustrating problem.
Further, the app glitches, lags terribly and is unreliable. For eg when first opened, it’ll take some time for the footage to become live instead of frozen. The lag is ridiculous.
So. I recommend the sock. I do not recommend the camera. The app is tolerable for the sock only.

Terrific
A little lag between real time and what you see, great it gives you information on room temp and love it can be on whilst I mow. Wish I could lock my phone and still be able to hear what’s going on in the moment though.
Don’t use
This came up with an error code in the night. Our child was crying for 2 hours and we had no idea. It wasn’t the wifi or our camera as it continued to record videos of our child crying.
Worth the investment
We’re so grateful for our Owlet as we made the transition from the NICU to home life as a family of three. After spending so much time surrounded by monitors and medical support, bringing our little one home was both exciting and nerve-wracking.
The Owlet gave us an added sense of reassurance during those early days and helped us feel a little more confident as we adjusted to life at home. It became such a comforting part of our routine and gave us some extra peace of mind while we learned to navigate this new chapter.
It’s definitely an investment and can be expensive, but for us, it was 100% worth it. Going from the NICU to home is a huge transition, and having the Owlet there was such a help for our family. We’re incredibly thankful for the extra reassurance it provided during such a special, exhausting and emotional time.
