My Sleeptracker arrived today! It doesn’t look bad either – it’s a rather “sporty” model that’s extremely easy to read.

The watch came nicely packaged in a “retail” style box that flipped open. Inside was the watch itself and a short instruction packet. The instructions are very clear and self explanatory and I really had the watch pretty much figured out before I even cracked open the instruction manual. It did provide some tips – like recommendations for setting the optimum wakeup window and how to cycle through the nightly data points and see that they were recorded as.

Tonight will be the trial run as to how well (or badly) the technology actually works. I’m extremely excited to see if it lives up to the manufacturer’s claims and if it doesn’t I’ll be extremely excited to see how I can claim a refund through their 30-day refund policy! The 30-day money back guarantee is from the date of shipment – not the date expected to be received. That means that the clock started ticking for me on March 25th – no pun intended!

Here you can see the watch on my arm and get an idea of its size. It’s plenty large enough as far as watches go – not at all puny or small. My biggest fear is that the button on the front will be easily depressed. It’s the “set” button, and I’ve read one review online that it’s a bit delicate and easy to accidentally depress. I will say this; I was laying on the couch tonight and I did not feel like I was even coming close to depressing the button.

I’ll post updates as I use it and see how well it really works!
