What true geek wouldn't love the Sleeptracker watch, a charmingly awkward-looking device that monitors your sleep and wakes you at the optimal time, so you're left feeling refreshed and rested? We detailed both the first and second versions in this space, and I'm happy to say the third version, the Sleeptracker Elite, has just arrived.
The Sleeptracker Elite comes in both male and female versions, and is 25 percent smaller than before. While the Sleeptracker Pro (the second version) let you upload your sleep data to a Windows computer, this version works with Macs, as well. I'm crazy about the Elite's styling, which suggests Tron, or maybe an '80s digital watch that also played Pac-Man.
Give the Sleeptracker Elite a time-frame when you'd like to wake up (say between 7:30 and 8) and it will monitor your movements with a built-in accelerometer to determine when you're sleeping lightly, then wake you at the optimal time. Transfer sleep data to your computer to see when you're sleeping the deepest. The Elite has a snooze button, audible and vibrating alarms, is water-resistant, and also works as a standard watch. It's available from the Sleeptracker site and will set you back $179.
