Owlet Dream Sock - Smart Wearable Baby Breathing and Movement Monitor with Live Heart Rate & Oxygen Alerts - Mint

Easy to set up, long lasting battery, not hard to use. As a first time mom I worry about my baby at night but the owlet allows me to sleep peacefully

works great as long as the base and baby are in the same room. do wish they would improve the distance it works at from sock to base. the app tells you based on readings if baby is awake/ light sleep / deep sleep. not perfectly accurate on that part, but that’s not my main purpose in having the sock so that’s not insanely important to me. it has given me so much peace of mind. as long as you’re making sure the sock is flush to the foot there’s no false alarms from my experience. easy to set up. not had any issues with burns from sensor, i switch the sock from left foot to right foot each night and only use when i’m asleep to prevent that from happening. seriously don’t know what id do without it, would buy again in a heartbeat. don’t let negative reviews deter you from purchasing, read up on owlet warranties and buy the extended insurance if you’re worried!!

I've had so many issues with this thing for a $300 product, I expect it to not have issues reading when I cover my child's foot with my torso... also the fact that it doesn't pick up whatsoever while they are wiggling? my baby moves about 79% of the time so this feels slightly useless. also, you can't get a reading on the app when you're traveling unless you use a hotspot and plug it into a portable charger... seriously. not worth $300. just go-to marketplace and find one someone's selling for under $200-$100. they are actually all over the place.

only used 6 times and it stopped working

I am a former Smart Sock 2 owner and upgraded to the Dream sock for my baby born this past August, as the Smart Sock 2 was no longer being supported. Either I got a lemon, or the dream sock is truly a downgrade. Daily, if not multiple times a day, we will get notifications of the sock being disconnected from the base, with the base being no farther than 15 feet away with no obstructions. When it finally reconnects, the Bluetooth signal is “good,” so this isn’t a matter of it being far away. I am also very well versed in positioning the sock on my baby, so that’s not the issue either. These shrill notifications are incredibly disruptive. The app is painfully slow and often takes a good 15-20 seconds to connect to the base station so I can silence the alarm, if the base isn’t within an arm’s reach for me to do so manually. With the Smart Sock 2, I think I only ever had 4 disconnected alarms throughout my baby’s first year. Overall I’m just disappointed in the disruptive connection issues. When the sock is working, it seems to detect everything appropriately. We have only had one false red alarm during the first week of use.

My husband and I have been trying to set the owlet up for nearly 2 hours on both our phones and neither of us have been able to find the base station. We’ve tried both Bluetooth and WiFi, making sure to be on our 2.5 GHz WiFi, and nothing worked. We tried using the chat function but the bot concluded was that it couldn’t help us and told us we’d receive an email in 2-5 business days. We bought the dream sock as our daughter is sick, so waiting this long makes the sock redundant to us. The app is buggy, multiple buttons don’t work meaning you need to exit the app and restart the process a million times in hopes the next button will work for you. Considering the price tag of this product, I’d expect better.

Do not buy this from target. I purchased it here and then it broke 10 months later (within the manufacturer warranty) however owlet will not warranty it since they say I was activated in their system 10 months before. So target will sell you a used product as “new” and then if something happens to it target or owlet will not help you. You are better off buying it directly through owlet so you don’t have this issue. Don’t trust target

This sock is so frustrating at times. It’s great when it actually works but here lately it’s constantly beeping, saying either sock placement issue or sock connection lost. I’ve had to reconnect it to WiFi a couple of times now. My son was in the NICU so I like to have peace of mind at night and when it works I do but in all honesty nine times out of ten it’s just a headache. I’ve been using it since September and for the price I expected better.

Product works great when child is sleeping but it’s very sensitive to wiggling especially when you are trying to hold your baby to get them to go to sleep. Frustrating!

Love the owlet, but this isn’t a product made to last. This is the 3rd one I’ve purchased. The first one in 2019 with my first baby. Used it for 18mo?, put it in storage, it didn’t work when we set up with baby #2 (2021) so we bought a new one. Used that for about 18mo again, put it in storage, THAT one didn’t work when we set it up with baby #3 (2024). Bought this one now that I’m reviewing, it’s doing the same thing as the other two- ‘sock placement issue’ alarm keeps going off. It won’t connect the base and sock. We have been continuously using it since Sept 2024 and suddenly started having this issue. Owlet only offers a 1yr warranty so nothing can be done. Just blows my mind how expensive this is and it isnt a high quality product.

This is a great product, when it actually works. It seemed to work ok the first few times but maybe a week in every single time I would put it on my newborn it would start beeping that the placement was wrong, even though my newborn wasn’t moving at all. Not to mention how frustrating it is when it takes you a while to put your baby to sleep and then it starts beeping for no reason. I gave it several chances until I was fed up and returned it. Also, you pay $300 and it didn’t even include the subscription which is an additional $10 a month if you want to see all the data.

I started using the dream sock as soon as I came home with my premie that was only 5 pounds. (Yes I am aware that the sock is intended for 6 pounds and above) As a first time mom with severe anxiety, worsened by my baby having breathing problems, this sock helped to ease so much anxiety that I had at night when my husband and I would go to sleep. I have recommended it to so many coworkers of mine as something they definitely need for when their babies arrive!

Did not pair to the base spent days communicating back and forth with owlet and they said things a known problem and sending me a replacement base would not fix it

Unfortunately I can’t give this a good review. I’ve tried using it for 5 consecutive nights, and have only been able to get it to work once. It continues to say it’s lost connection despite being right next to the plug and being charged. It also beeps incessantly when it doesn’t work and does not have any trouble shooting feedback so it just keeps beeping unless I shut down the entire device. I’ve also called the help line. Given the price point of this device, I’m disappointed. I’ll keep trying another night or 2 and then return it if it still won’t work. I gave 3 stars because I imagine it’s a good product if it actually works.

Target is selling Items used. Got this sock late at night ready to use it for my baby. When I opened the package I realized that the sensor part was extremely dirty and smelled like medicine.

This thing will not stop going off. We do not have a big house, but if you swaddle your baby with one blanket the device will not connect from one room over. If it can’t read through a thin baby blanket, how would it know if my baby is in trouble.

The app is pretty garbage and the Bluetooth range is quite short. However, the peace of mind knowing my child is OK in the middle of the night is worth every penny, even with the issues. It’s also nice for sleep tracking.

I would remove the sock and place it on to the charging base station. However when attached to the base station the sock would alarm stating it was loose and off the child. I think a connectivity issue was going on between the base and monitor. The company did resent a new monitor but the base issue continued. Ended up returning the sock. The company was responsive and helpful. However the product had issues.

We use it every night. The only thing is, I wish the Bluetooth was stronger… we are constantly getting connectivity alerts in the next room changing night time diapers.. it alarms and wakes up one of us even though one of us is with the baby. My speaker works s multiple rooms over, why doesn’t this??

Warning, this product will fail after one year of use. Invest in something else. I’m unbelievably upset by the resolution for my sensor issue. My sensor stopped working properly today out of nowhere and the only solution given to me was to purchase a new one at 50% off. I have been a loyal owlet customer since 2019. This is my second owlet purchase. This one just bought in Jan 2024. So I’m under two years and have invested in this product twice now. This is a faulty product and should be treated as such. I will be sure to let it be known to friends to invest in a better product if owlet can’t guarantee the product for more than one year.
