Is the Owlet Worth It? Here's our Fatherly review

0:00 [Music] hey guys welcome to fatherly my name is Woody we're talking about baby monitors today we're talking about the outlet it has a higher price point at about 250 bucks that's a lot of money for a baby monitor but the outlet does something that no other baby monitor can do it tracks your baby's vitals uh by way of this this is a little uh foot cozy and this transmits your baby's vital signs to an app that you download to your

0:26 phone so you can monitor your baby's vital signs in real time no other baby monitor can do that couple positives about this device number one it has an app so you have a way to check everything that's happening in real time with your baby so it's another reason to stare at your phone if that's what you like to do uh second main advantage uh is that this functions over Wi-Fi it's broadcasting information through Wi-Fi all the time but also it has a separate

0:49 independent signal inside the base so if your Wi-Fi goes down you can still keep track of your baby vitals it's very important third this thing is super soft it's softer than your baby skin I wish I had an outfit made out of the material that this thing is made out of now let's switch over to disadvantages it sets off alerts uh so every once in a while this uh when we were setting up in the studio

1:08 earlier it would kind of bleed out like a hush little baby don't you cry uh which can get a little bit annoying I wasn't sure exactly what triggered those I think over time you can figure it out and like I think we were sh see right there number two this is an electronic wearable so the main question is are you okay with having your infant with an electronic wearable strapped to his or her foot all the time it's something you got to

1:32 figure it out the range not that great about 15 to 20 ft between the device and the base so in all likelihood this is going to be in the same room as your sleeping baby and also uh there's no video component uh obviously it's just broadcasting information from here to your smartphon but on the whole like if this is important information to you if you want to know if you're the kind of parent that's like okay I need to

1:55 monitor baby vitals all the time this is a device for you if you guys have used the before let us know in the comment section below let us know if you know what triggers off that hush little baby cuz we don't know yet either and if you guys want to check out more howto hacks and fatherly videos [Music] subscribe
