  These are great - i have the one without the wristband and it is very accurate. Well supported by Withings and continual updates and improvements for the Android app. Battery life is excellent as well at 7+ days. IMO beats products like Fitbit, Jawbone as it offers heart rate and O2 monitoring.

  Sorry but its said to be inaccurate and unreliable in the review

  "However, Withings failed to improve some key features on the O2, namely the sleep and fitness tracking. PC Mag notes "you have to manually enable and disable sleep mode when you go to bed and wake up, and Stuff had problems with its accuracy, finding it "pretty wonky" at measuring distance. PC Mag also says the "the heart rate monitor/oximeter just wasn't reliable."

  key words from review

  "failed to improve"
  "problems with its accuracy"
  "pretty wonky"
  "wasn't reliable"

  Terrible reviews at apple

    Note that they've updated and continue to update the software so the reviews are probably out of date. It's been a while since I used mine as I've moved onto Android Wear but from memory you set it at sleep time and it auto wakes. Better value for money than fitbit. Heart rate monitor is better than my Samsung note 4 and my LG g watch r as it is much more consistent between reads

    Used one for about a year and found that it was a decent option. Used it concurrently with a Fitbit one and found that either the Fitbit overestimated my activity or the Pulse O2 underestimated it. The variation would be between 10-20% a day, every day. Only thing I didn't like was the inability to export my data, but this could've been updated recently. Gave it up when I wanted persistent heart rate monitoring, so got a Fitbit surge.

  Without auto sleep, it's a miss for me! I have a Fitbit flex, everything works great, except you have to tap tap manually when sleeping. Freaking annoying, I stopped using after tapping for 2 weeks manually. On another note, HRM built-in would be great. If you have to use strap or something like that, it defeats the purpose. There is a few devices can do HRM simply by wearing it as a wrist band.

  Not sure how the sats are of any benefit: how many live at altitude, have overt respiratory disorders or actually understand the strengths, and more so limitations, of simple SPO2 measures?

  Also: does anyone truly buy into the marketing that your body position and movements can accurately monitor sleep? A sleep physician requires about a dozen of EEG leads monitoring neural activity, muscle tone, and eye activity to effectively determine sleep quality.

  Where's the evidence these things are any more than a few cheap sensors plugged into a black box with an algorithm that gives little more than a guess of what you're actually presenting? Guess what:if you feel shagged upon waking, perhaps revising your lifestyle would be better than using a black box to tell you how poor your sleep was - plus or minus 25%..

  Marketing. Works.

  TL;DR usually not much point in using due to inaccuracy

  Reading the reviews seems like many amazon users had issue with DoA. So take your chances as returning from Aus to US may be more trouble than the saving is worth.

  What's the point of sleep tracking? What are you supposed to do with the information?

    Ever heard of the PDCA cycle?

    Make a change and see it you get different results. e.g. Don't consume Caffeine for a few days and see if that makes any difference.

    If you get good sleep maybe it's info you don't need.

  Pulse measurement is manual on this.

  I'll be watching whether the Jawbone Up3 gets real time heart rate monitoring later on. I guess battery life is why they have just gone with resting heart rate at the moment. The FitBit Charge HR seems too bulky in comparison to the Up3.

  I find it amusing that no one will believe anything unless it's told to them by a smart-device.

  Doctor: "You're not getting enough exercise"
  Patient: "Nah what would you know, I'm gonna continue sitting on the couch waiting for Eneloop deals"

  Fitbit/Withings/iWhatever: "You've only done 3,000 steps today!"
  Guy from above: "Oh my god, I'd better get outside!!"
