Looks good. Although I wouldn't have the world "Terrible" on the scale and definitely not auto-selected. Its not the first word I want to read when I wake. Maybe "Not Great"?

gnemeth• 16 years ago

Haha, don't worry we're not planning on keeping that.

jrockway• 16 years ago

I think the Zeo uses the word "Terrible". But "3" is selected by default, so you don't see it. (Although I am not at home right now and am not actually looking at the thing. Strangely, despite looking at this menu every day, I have no memory of it.)

Perhaps I'm missing something, but why was your productive sleep time not 0 - you were awake, right? Where does the productive sleep figure come from?

The WakeMate was just sitting on my desk so it's not an accurate reading :).

I'm waiting for my "wakemate" for 6mo+.

Looks great on your iPhone. Can't wait to see how it will look on mine. If ever...

cgherb911• 16 years ago

Great work guys. Can't wait to get one.

Is it just me or is that the worst possible tone to wake you up? Hope there are more options than that or a song... like the actual alarm tones already on the iPhone.

spydertennis2• 16 years ago

Yup, we're going to add more options.

blehn• 16 years ago

I think that is an actual alarm tone that's already on the phone. Personally, I've found it's one of the few that are tolerable as a wake-up alarm.

Besides from being more precise, what does this offer that SleepCycle doesn't? I am quite happy with it..

jonursenbach• 16 years ago

The problem with SleepCycle that I found while I owned an iPhone is that you have to place it under your pillow, and the way that I sleep, I shuffle around a lot and my phone would often fall off the bed and onto the floor, rending the entire thing useless. The Wakemate is a device that you wear on your wrist; eliminating any shuffling/pillow problems.

I'm using SleepCycle until my WakeMate arrives. It's very good, but my problem is that I sleep with my girlfriend, and the iPhone seems to record both our movements. I tried last it last night without my gf sleeping (she's on a trip) and I found the graph to be quite different.

I imagine having WakeMate's wristband will negate anyone else's movements on the same bed, and record just your own.

rodh257• 16 years ago

except that the alarm may disturb your girlfriends sleep pattern as well (I emailed them about this and they were considering adding wristband vibrate functionality in there one day)

Does anyone know how they are accomplishing the bluetooth communication to the iphone? My impression was that you needed to work with apple and get permission to buy their $4 authentication IC.

clewiston• 16 years ago

We have fully implemented Apple's MFi authentication scheme/protocol for all communication between the iPhone/iPad/iPodTouch platforms and the WakeMate wristband. This involves the special Apple auth IC you mentioned.

xinsight• 16 years ago

Seems they may have the first device to communicate with a 3rd party app on the iPhone, but their video doesn't play on iPad or iPhone.

Could you please fix the aspect ratio of your demo?

Also I don't think the slider should default to "terrible", you want to set expectations. Looks great though!
