Regardless of the drama, I can't imagine buying anything from someone involved with WakeMate after the horrible experience the first time around. $50 spent, and it never succeeded in tracking a night of my sleep. There are other products out there these days that actually work.
- nathos 14y agoAs another person who spent money on WakeMate but never got it work properly, I couldn't agree more. WakeMate was fraught with delays and the product they actually shipped looked nothing like their concept art or "prototype". Heck, they even shipped power adapters that were a fire hazard and never replaced them. Sad that this latest shadiness from a (former?) WakeMate person doesn't surprise me in the least.
- finin 14y agoI never got my promised replacement power adapter either. I thought it was just me. :-(
- spydertennis 14y agoI'm really sorry about that. We kept trying but never had the cash to source a replacement and get it re-certified for use with our product.
- uptown 14y agoHow much would it have cost to communicate that by email to customers that were waiting for a replacement?
- ch0wn 14y agoThe worst part, in my opinion, was the miserable communication. I had some contact with their support and they kept promising updates to their software over and over again. Of course, this never happened.
- eli 14y agoOoof. I have nothing to do with Wakemate, but I'll admit that earlier in my career I've been on that end of situation -- overpromising and underdelivering on an already waaaaay overdue project. It sucks.
- Nimi 14y agoDo you mean products for sleep improvement? Which would you recommend?
- natrius 14y agoI haven't used any others, but off the top of my head, I'm aware of Zeo and Fitbit. Find the Amazon pages for those, and more competitors will show up as recommendations.
