The Owlet Dream Duo adds some new features to previous Owlet sock functionality, but unfortunately they've had to do away with the most important feature that made the Owlet originally a standout among a sea of baby tracking systems; the active O2 monitor. The system feels mostly cohesive, but also suffers from a subpar app and antiquated video monitoring. This is my third Owlet product. I've owned both the 2nd generation and 3rd generation socks. I was so pleased with the 2nd generation sock that I decided the 3rd was enough of an upgrade to get it as well. We also had the 1st generation camera. That camera didn't fare well, to be honest, as it suffered from connection issues and was generally unusable for us. All this is to say, we have a lot of experience with Owlet products. We had our second child two weeks ago and decided to give the Dream Duo a shot, not knowing the full scope of what was (and was not) included. In regards to the sock, I can't help but feel disappointed. It seems to be the same hardware as the 3rd generation sock, and as such is very convenient to charge and very easy to put on kids. It has active heart rate monitoring, which is good, but it seems they've been forced to remove the real time O2 level monitoring, instead replacing this with an average readout of the past 5 minutes. Presumably this is a pivot based on some regulatory trouble that came down on Owlet, so I don't even really blame the company. However, the end result is a product that feels significantly less useful for parents that like to purchase this primarily for peace of mind. That being said, they've transitioned this product to focus more on sleep quality, and it seems this bundle now includes the Dream Lab sleep training program. This will be a hit with certain parents that are planning to sleep train their kids, giving useful insight into sleep quality and patterns that will help give you kid a better night of sleep (and a better ability to independently sleep). We haven't yet used this feature given our child's young age, but I've heard good things about it. The camera is a modest upgrade over the previous generation and adds some additional features like action clips that you can go back and watch. This is an improvement not only over the last generation cam, but also a lot of the more basic baby monitors on the market. However, it would be more useful to have a more comprehensive video timeline to help with tracking. In terms of performance, it seems to operate a bit better than the previous model in this regard as well, but time will tell if it's truly an upgrade. Overall, I can't help but feel disappointed. Again, understanding that the company was forced to reposition their product, I understand why they did it. But active O2 monitoring was a landmark feature of the Owlet product line, and I can't help but feel like the usefulness of the sock has been majorly impacted. They've tried to bridge the gap by making this sleep quality focused, and it will be useful in that regard, just not in actively monitoring sleep safety as it was in the past.

Super peace of mind. It's worth every penny. Of course you never fully sleep like before baby was born, but you can genuinely feel good in case you doze off heavier sleep.

This was one of the best gifts that I could give my daughter-in-law for my first granddaughter, very responsive, helps them monitor her sleep, with a peace of mind that normally we wouldn’t have if we didn’t have things like this to make our life a little bit more easier during tiring times.

It was a surprise baby gift and just what the new mom and dad wanted for peace of mind for their new baby.

I love how the dream sock comes in 2 sizes! Works flawlessly gives us peace of mind at night while our little one sleeps since we know the risk sids is real!

Nice and very helpful and satisfied i really recommend

Absolute garbage. The camera routine disconnects despite being in close proximity and on the same wifi network. Multiple times now, put the baby down, didn't hear a peep from her in a while, checked the app to see the camera randomly stopped working, went to check on the baby and founder screaming and crying for God knows how long. This piece of garbage is unsafe and should be pulled from shelves.

The cam had a very poor connection to wifi, I tried multiple routers. Delay is video feed is very large. Constant reconnects. The sock wouldn’t connect at all to router. Owlet helpdesk is non-responsive by email. Bestbuy only allows return for 15 days, so I’m royally screwed.
