VibeatOxyU Oxygen Monitor for O2 & Heart Rate Continuous Tracking, Wrist Wearable Pulse Oximeter, Notification of Threshold Exceed, Bluetooth Finger Oxygen Meter with Free App & PC Report

This is my second wrist-wearable pulse oximeter from Viatom: the first is Checkme O2 Max, which I have been using for almost two years, and this is Vibeat OxyU, a new one. In short, the new Vibeat OxyU functions equally well as the other one (Checkme O2 Max); it is reliable, easy to use, and lightweight. In fact, for casual daily use (e.g., tracking SpO2 numbers in sports activity), I prefer Vibeat OxyU as it is lighter, which allows the device to stay more secure in the wrist, facing a variety of motions.For overnight use, I have mixed feelings about comparing the new Vibeat OxyU with my old-time favorite Checkme O2 Max due to the differences each device can offer. Checkme O2 Max is a better option for those who want to wear a pulse oximeter every night to use it with the PAP/RAD devices. To provide more details, I would like to share my experience with overnight use of both devices as follows:1. Background: the primary reason for using the pulse oximeter is to monitor oxygen saturation and pulse rates overnight when I sleep with a CPAP machine, which is indicated to treat sleep apnea. Then, I use the ViHealth app if I would like to go over diagnostic statistics quickly. Ultimately, I extract the same data using O2 Insight Pro (desktop app), essential to integrate the oxygen and pulse information into the OSCAR app for the total daily sleep report. Such practices are standard for long-time CPAP users who must monitor sleep quality over time.2. Wearing Experience: Vibeat OxyU automatically turns on when I wear it on my wrist. It goes off when I take it off of my wrist. Checkme O2 Max has a dedicated power on-off button on its side. I am pretty indifferent to having either way. Checkme O2 Max feels bulky on my wrist, but it doesn't bother me at all while I sleep. They are both intended to be worn on my left arm; otherwise, the screen looks upside down.3. What Is Measured: Vibeat OxyU and Checkme O2 Max measure SpO2 and pulse rates. However, Checkme O2 Max offers more in-depth analysis, such as the number of oxygen drops (more than 4pp). Furthermore, Checkme O2 Max allows me to adjust settings like pulse rate reminder, finger out reminder, and vibration strength. In particular, I like the option to reduce the strength of vibration, as the high-intensity vibration can disrupt my sleep.4. Recordings: Vibeat OxyU and Checkme O2 Max record up to 4 sessions, each lasting up to 10 hours. Checkme O2 Max offers a higher-capacity battery to record up to 72 hours instead of 16 hours to Vibeat OxyU. As such, Vibeat OxyU requires frequent charging for daily use.5. App (Bluetooth Data Sync): ViHealth app works for both devices. However, O2 Insight Pro only detects Checkme O2 Max, not Vibeat OxyU. I have yet to be able to figure out why. I am on the most recent release of the O2 Insight Pro app (version 1.8), but the same problem persists. This is an issue for those needing to integrate the pulse-oximetry data into OSCAR for a more comprehensive daily sleep analysis under CPAP therapy.6. What Can Be Improved: The device could offer more capacity to store the number of recordings, say 7 instead of 4. That way, I could have the data transferred every once a week. I have my phone turned off during my sleep, and turning it on isn't the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning (as a consequence, the data stored in the oximetry device is yet to be sent to the ViHealth app).Overall, Vibeat OxyU is a suitable device that functions as claimed. I would use it occasionally throughout the daytime, such as sports. For overnight use, Vibeat OxyU may not be the best option compared to the other model (e.g., Checkme O2 Max), not to mention that Vibeat OxyU is marketed as not intended for a medical device. In conjunction with the CPAP device, I would stick to my old-time favorite Checkme O2 Max until Viatom releases a new one within that product line.

The device worked well in the beginning. I liked the features and comfort of the device. After roughly a month and half of use, the device stopped reading correctly. It remained at 99% oxygen despite another finger pulse ox reading completely different. We tried to reset it but now it won’t connect at all or read anything. Already connected seller and am still waiting a response.

The Vibeat OxyU Oxygen Monitor measures O2 (oxygen saturation in the blood) and heart rate. It also shows motion of the device on the finger. This is important because motion affects this type of O2 Sensor.I have severe obstructive sleep apnea so I use a APAP (automatic CPAP) machine when I sleep. The machine reports several values that relate to sleep quality but does not measure O2 or Heart Rate. I bought the Vibeat OxyU Oxygen Monitor to wear while sleeping so that I would know how effective the APAP therapy was each night. The finger portion (that makes the measurements) is comfortable to wear and does not interfere with sleep. in the morning the electronic portion (worn on the wrist) reports the data to my cell phone via Bluetooth. That all works simply and flawlessly with the ViBeat App. The app uses graphs to show continuous O2 levels, Heart Rate, and motion. It also shows the O2 range during the measurement period. My observation is the machine is quite accurate. It has proven to be of excellent use. But, as the seller points out, it is not classified as a medical device and therefore does not replace the finger mounted Pulse Oximeter that is used in the doctor's office. However, it works quite well and I find it to be trustworthy.

I bought this pulse oximeter in Sept 2023. I've used it off and on to monitor my overnight oxygen levels. I like the light weight and the wrist band. Along with the finger sensor it's easy to forget that I'm even wearing it. The display is easy to read day and night, except in bright sunlight. It's also very accurate when compared to my other pulse oximeters and to the ones used by the doctors.My complaint with this device is that it will loose connection with my phone from time to time, and it could take several minutes for the two to re-connect... meaning I have no oxygen or BP readings for those times. It can take very little activity to cause it to drop the connection. I couldn't use it in a gym, even when my hands were on hand grips because it would drop connection. So I mainly used it while sleeping, and it seemed to do pretty well.This connection problem has worsened over time, so that now just sitting at my desk watching the display on the phone I see it disconnect so often that I believe it's offline more than online. I now have serious oxygen issues during the day, and I can no longer depend on this device to keep me informed of my condition. It's ironic that in many reviews people were worried about the finger band stretching and breaking, yet mine shows no wear after this time. It's apparently the internal parts that are failing.$179 is a lot to pay for a pulse ox, but it's a good design - If the disconnects could be fixed or the reconnects could happen sooner it would be much better. And whatever is wrong with the internals needs to be corrected. I was able to use it before, but now it's not helpful. I'm better off with a $25 fingertip model that works consistently.

I’ve tried a few of these. This one is well made and comfortable. It’s lasted quite a while. It’s easy to wear and reliable.
