But so's the pricetag (PS: I was off above, I think i've seen it for like $249). The thing I liked about the original Sleeptracker when I reviewed it (I think Greg's got it now) was the simplicity. Truth be told though, once the *initial* set up of the Axbo is done it's pretty simple on a nightly basis too. The other benefit of the Axbo; rather than wearing a clunky digital watch to bed, you isport a comfy sweatband. Not exactly gonna score points with the ladies, but serves the purpose well. Be sure to tell whichever one you end up buying that UM sent ya! :-) Oh man Jess; the Axbo is just soo pimp. But so’s the pricetag (PS: I was off above, I think i’ve seen it for like $249).

As for the Axbo, I remember you guys did a test of several sleep monitors. SleepTracker now has a "Pro" version which gives you the option of 60 (versus just 90) minute window and vibration. With those factors considered, do you think you would have still chosen the Axbo? (I'm in the market and was planning on buying the Sleeptracker but totally forgot about the very stylish Axbo!)

Annoying! I encourage her to get up just so the alarm stops going off. Man, my new bed sharer hits snooze like 5 times. Annoying! I encourage her to get up just so the alarm stops going off.
