About This Video:
This is a review of the Owlet Baby Monitor with Smart Sock 2. It's designed to track your baby's breathing in the middle of the night. In the case that there are abnormalities in your baby's heartbeat or oxygen levels, you will be alerted via the base station or app. In this video we discuss the accuracy of the vitals that Owlet provides.

[@jess4003]

Worth every penny, the peace of mind is gives us is priceless. By far the best baby purchase we’ve made. I think insurance companies should cover these so every baby can have it.

[@blissfullybrittany9217]

I am a NICU RT and I can tell you the reason that the levels are set the way they are is because it is normal for newborns to fluctuate during the day , babies do this all the time and most kids are on monitor so you would never know, yes in oxygen saturation of 80 is very low but the reason it said there is so that you know when the baby is at that level something is actually wrong , if it was set any higher than that it would be going off all the time because babies drop down all the time when they cough when they have reflux when they bear down , what matters is that they come back up on their own. The owl that will monitor you if it gets to a dangerous level that gives you plenty of time to perform this lifesaving measures. And yes a heart rate of 70 is very low for an infant however they have moments again where their heart rate will fluctuate to 90s and you don’t want them set there because then you would be alarming all the time, it is very normal for newborns and babies to fluctuate heart rate and oxygen levels that I’ll let is set to let you know when there’s an actual problem that’s the reason that the parameters are set where they are . I can tell you from working in the nicu, when babies have a vagal response due to acid reflex or cough their heart rates can drop pretty low and we’re not doing CPR because they come back up on their own . The owlet will let you know if they have gotten to a level that you need to be concerned about , and prevent you from running in there for normal newborn fluctuations

[@aradonlover]

Thank you so much for this reply. I am a paediatrician and was about to reply the same thing. The settings should not be adjusted, it would cause a lot of false alarms.

[@TheFamilyguy421]

Thank you

[@dadverb]

As a medical professional, would you recommend parents buy this or steer clear?

[@MadisonRandom]

As a NICU RN I totally agree with this comment!

[@ThatBetchEllie]

My son was born at 28 weeks and in the nicu for 64 days and I use the owlet and the nicu nurses all told me the same thing that this nicu nurse is saying

[@annajudd9434]

The owlet saved my one month olds life so I believe it is 100% worth the money!

[@gothgirlatheart3545]

Anna Judd what happened??

[@jgavilon23]

How?

[@RAMZAVFX]

How?

[@annajudd9434]

My son was sleeping and he’s stopped breathing and the sock alerted me so I ran to the bedroom where he was sleeping and performed cpr!

[@danielf4849]

Wow. Thanks for sharing that.

[@toddfez67]

My son was 2 months old when Owlet alarm went off hit heart rate dropped to 46. Saved his life. 100%

[@woodsinsuffolk]

The Owlet saved my grandsons life. After the alarm going off saying his heart rate was 260 bpm. my daughters pediatrician said throw it away it's not true the baby heart rate could get that high. Well after trying her friends owlet who is a nurse, the alarm went off again. My grandson was rushed to a children hospital and in ICU with a heart problem called SVT supraventricular tachycardia. He thank God is on mess that will control it but he has to see a cardiologist regularly to adjust his men's. He wears the owlet every night. The pediatrician is no longer my grandsons doctor.

[@carlapitcher3358]

thank you michelle...keep posting this story; pediatricians/nurses often say not necessary, but it is better safe than sorry when it comes to our kids. Very difficult for clinicians to catch any kind of cardiac pathology that is ischemic, or "not happening all the time." They only check the kiddos for a moment in the office. What about the other 99.9% of the time? It has saved us a little one too. So worth it!

[@andiceni24]

Poor baby!!! Glad you trusted your gut! I have the same condition. My highest heart rate on record was 238....I had no symptoms, i felt totally normal, but heart monitor tech told me to go to ER just in case. 6 hours later I'm being airlifted to a different hospital for emergency surgery after falling into v-tach patterns. Definitely investing in this owlet monitor for my little one, god forbid he also has heart issues.

[@TheFamilyguy421]

So good to hear this story. Thank you for sharing. I'm thinking about buying one

[@figuringdad-out525]

Wow that's incredible, i trust your grandson is well. Stories like this often make me wonder how my parents and other older parents coped without stuff like this. We are expecting in April. Till i can afford a nanit, going to stick with the Owlet. p.s. great video @Dadverb

[@elizamartinez4184]

My friend has that ans shes had an attack (not sure if that's the right wording or not) while I was with her and it was terrifying. I'm so glad your grandson is okay❤

[@j.s.3414]

Love our owlet. No false alarms...just put it on correctly. Baby was premature as well...no fitment issues.

[@anothersomebody8195]

After three days the app screws up and we get sock placement alarms. I restrapped three times in an hour to the point his foot had red marks where the edges were digging in. Be glad you didn't get our piece of crap

[@mikaylasmith9889]

Mine was loose on my preemie, but a sock over it held it in place once she hit 5 lbs!

[@sweetheart72650]

When I was pregnant I wanted to order an Owlet, one of my friends only caught her daughters health issues because of her owlet monitor, but I considered it a luxury item. My daughter stopped breathing on me a few weeks ago. She was running a fever at the time. I was holding her and I noticed immediately when she went limp. I got her woke up. she's fine. But I no longer consider it a luxury item. What would have happened if my baby hadn't been in my arms? What would have happened if I'd left the room? Maybe nothing, maybe she would have started breathing again on her own if I'd given her a few seconds longer, or maybe I wouldn't have my baby in my arms tonight. I'm not considering the Owlet a Luxury item. Now it's necessary for my baby's safety.

[@williamwilson6499]

I bought one for a grandson born 5 months ago. It’s worth every penny. I wish these were available when I was a young father...the peace of mind is beyond price.

[@Mrs.Silversmith]

He makes a good point about personality of the parent. Sometimes the anxiety isn't going to be solved by being given more numbers to obsess over.

[@loon3111]

I have heard so many stories about this saving lives. It alarmed twice with my preemie daughter. Once she was propped up on a boppy on her tummy and fell asleep. I was sitting with her, looking at her. I am convinced her position was causing her to not get enough oxygen but from the outside she looked totally fine. The second time was 4am and woke us up screaming, we have no idea if it was a false alarm or not, I picked her up and she was breathing and had good color. Either way we just don't know, and the sense of security and peace of mind it gave us was priceless. I will be using it again for my second child due soon.

[@BritnyMurilloBeauty]

I love our owlet! My son is 6 months now and we are still loving it! 10/10

[@clintmacas]

false alarms is better than finding ur baby gone for good for me. we just lost our 3 month old angel, my sister in laws baby.😥😥😥

The owlet is my absolute favorite baby product we have. My baby is a year old and she used it every night.

[@Krista_2angels]

I had a sids baby and now I'm having my fourth baby never knew there was something like this to help will give review even she comes

[@erikspaeth1156]

Loved the way you presented the information, keep up the good work very intellectual.

[@dariapochivalova4306]

I was really tired of false alarms and desided to change a baby monitor. We bought the Monbaby monitor and its really worth the money. Owlet`s sock was ucomfortable for my baby and the Monbaby is designed like a smart button which snaps to baby`s clothes . It`s app works great and I really love that monitor.

[@marcelo8038]

Great review. Kind of answered all my doubts. Thanks!

I don't have kids but still like watching your vlogs.

[@christina334]

I like the extras, total hours slept, how deep and when. The guide tells you where your baby is in its development.

[@annak804]

new parents should be able to rent from pediatrician for week after birth. hospitals should have them in use constantly

[@anghid1445]

We love ours. Great peace of mind. Better to have it and not need it Than need it and not have it.

I am going to copy the NICU nurse's comment here as a reply to that. Being a paediatrician I completely agree with this: 'the reason that the levels are set the way they are is because it is normal for newborns to fluctuate during the day , babies do this all the time and most kids are on monitor so you would never know, yes in oxygen saturation of 80 is very low but the reason it said there is so that you know when the baby is at that level something is actually wrong , if it was set any higher than that it would be going off all the time because babies drop down all the time when they cough when they have reflux when they bear down , what matters is that they come back up on their own.

[@hollynelson2626]

@@aradonlover as a pediatrician "in practice" are you not allowed legally to recommend these devices. I ask because around 2n half months my daughter had her first choking event. She went completely limp. It took forever for 911 we were admitted. It didn't happen again. THERE. She got a full workup. Since then we have had an insaine amout of events. Some she can't make a noise and the bulb to the throat is the onky thing that works and it takes a lot of work. I am a single mom. With little help. I have a anxietu hx documented in bby Chart. Now. Ive never been able to video as it is an all out emergency but I have lived in the terror of it happening with my head turned or asleep next to her crib. She sees gi specialists from mass gen and everyone is aware. Yet when i beg for med monitor im denied and reassured im doing great job it will get better. Yet no one will say yes it can't hurt to try this or any. Not a name monitor. "It creates anxiety" i was a nurse i know to assess my baby physically of im getting a alert. But with our situation getting so extreme yet not qualifying. Idk why for med mon. Why wouldn't they say. Ahh couldn't hurt. Her gen ped gives me amd tells me off the record stuff "all the time". I have been listening to them. But I can't even do a load of dishes with her in a safe zone behind .e for fear. I won't hear a cry for help? If its a rule ill know amd im ordering now. Im starting to pass out and sleep thru wake times when she is just in crib. Do idk. People need to sleep. At my wits end. I was gonna get snuza hero but wanted something to tell me she is struggling. She jerks allot when it happens I was afraid it would only tell me.after she wasn't breathing. Maybe I should have just done it. I will mever rest. We had our longest period. 5 weeks not even "struggle I call it" where she can get a breath or squeak occasionally during" then bam. Full on . No noise. I turned around she was fighting with that panic that crushes your soul. Are they taking me seriously enough

The sock is 1000000% worth it. I sleep so peaceful seeing that green glow :)

Thank you for the review! We live in a rural area so I’ve been wanting to buy this due to there not being a hospital near by.

Thank you for your honest review!

[@BennyBumbacleet]

Great advice at the end. I never thought about the anxiety checking of the app all the time.

[@sheldon2463]

Are you going to review the owlet cam? As well, I saw your video on Amcrest - does that have continuous audio capabilities?

[@yevgeniysheludko5648]

Unfortunately, I don’t use video baby, but I bought a baby monitor from MonBaby when I was still pregnant. I really liked the ease of handling, besides, it was at a good price. When the baby fell asleep, I started housework and was always calm for my daughter. I went out and weed grass in the garden, and cooked food in the kitchen, and cleaned the whole house, and at the same time, I knew that the baby monitor always looked after my baby.

My mom just ordered one today for my baby because we have a family history of heart disease.

[@rebeccabridgeo1006]

Nanny by Jablotron is what maternity wards in Europe and Japan use to monitor for SIDS. It's cheaper and you can keep using it when they're a toddler. It uses a pad that goes under their mattress, and doesn't use internet or apps. I didn't like the thought of the monitor being dependent on internet or my phone. Further, it's a certified medical device that is half the price. We're still using it at almost 20 months.

[@Roxymtz01]

Amazing thank you so much for your opinion! .....I will definitely be buying this.

[@familyoffriedles1269]

Thank you this helped a lot

[@jgroatmillar1670]

Idk about this being a first time. Parent thing. We had another kindnof monitor that clipped onto my DD's diaper and it kept slipping off, not to mention he sanitizer factor of being on a diaper. Im buying this for round two and feel pretty confident that it will, like the other one, continue to provide a sense of security around something tat would Otherwise be untracked.

[@heathersteinmetz5989]

The owlet is a MUST for us!!! We got it about a week after my son was born. Before I gave birth, I was going back and forth on whether or not it was really necessary. I decided it wasn’t until I had him. He had some complications with his breathing that first night, so my husband ended up sleeping in shifts. Our pediatrician strongly suggested we get it since we were so worried! I would also like to add that you DO NOT need WiFi with this. However, in order to actually use the app and see the babies vitals, it will need to be connected to WiFi. But we just go solely on the base station right now, and it’s been great!

[@josiesanchez2664]

Thinking of getting for my grandson, would I need to purchase the camera as well? Or just the sock?

[@heathersteinmetz5989]

Josie Sanchez you can just purchase the sock and base! The camera isn’t necessary for the device to work.

[@josiesanchez2664]

Heather Steinmetz thank u so much.

[@djjones7039]

i’m confused…so how do you use it correctly and monitor the baby if you’re not connected to wifi..? you actually DO need wifi to use it, idk why you said you didn’t

[@shaniceazevedo7797]

Is it possible to change the tracking settings I wonder?

[@emmyengy4279]

Can you compare Owlet and Monbaby? I mean which has wider functionality and works better. Thank you.

[@vaniacastillo2465]

Really good product and yes it works on Android.

[@902auntmeme]

We used the Owlet for my grandson. It was absolutely worth the money!!! We never had any alarms go off, other than a couple of ”sock displacement“ alerts, because Grandma was just learning how to use it, but just having peace of mind, and being able to know he is sleeping with good sats (by viewing the readings on your phone) is worth it. It even tells you if he/she is wiggling. Added bonus: I live 4 hours away, so I was able to check the app around his bedtime, and know he was safe and snug in his little bed. Our family gives the Owlet a big thumbs up!👍

Definitely worth it took my baby in for a cold turns out her O2 was at 60 I thought she was having trouble breathing but I didn’t realize it was that low having one of these has made me feel better for sure

[@fancyfootwork93]

I just bought this for my son that was born 13 weeks early and is getting ready to leave the NICU soon. I wanted to comment on what the nurse said in the video. I’ve been watching pulse ox monitors for the last 9 weeks and it can be the scariest thing you see when you can blink and all of a sudden that heart rate drops down in the 40 and 50 range. Thankfully he has grown out of his Brady’s but his heart rate can still drop quite a bit when he is in a deep sleep. The doctor has informed us that it’s normal and his alarms do not go off unless it reaches below 70.

[@Fabwera]

Rebekah Statkun I was thinking of getting this for my baby she was born at 36 weeks weigh in 4lbs 11oz and has trouble breathing, She got released from the hospital and is still on oxygen she’s been on oxygen and a monitor for three weeks now but I want this for when she gets off the oxygen so I can have peace of mind

[@TheSnekkerShow]

From what I've seen, the only way to get actual numerical data from the sensor right in front of you is to send it through the Owlet server via internet connection and then back to an app on your phone. They could have just put the numbers on the base station, but it would be more difficult to collect data from you that way. At 5:47, why was the Owlet reading "at the same time" in a different location in the dark? Does this have anything to do with having to connect to the internet to send data to their servers before you can see if your child is okay?

[@marissadeakyne1583]

Make sure it works correctly on your phone and all the volumes are up. My phone glitches with the app for notifications (pretty sure it's just my phone) and so I keep the base near me. The base is decently loud. Plus if there is a wifi outage the base will still alert you but your phone wouldn't. It's safer to keep the base in the room. Over all, I wouldn't be able to sleep without this thing and so I have nothing but good things to say about it. They also have great payment options which is good if you don't have a lot of money upfront.

[@alartlart]

I agree with that RN as a fellow RN a heart rate of 60 and I would be calling a code and initiating PALS protocol. With that being said I will be purchasing this for my next baby. I cant tell you how many times I would wake up at night to check on her. She slept in her crib beside my bed for ten months. I did not sleep for more than 3 hours for ten whole months lol. I have no idea how I survived.

@No need for that what degree do you have? I highly doubt she meant it dropped once amd were coding. Now thats dumb. "Thinking she meant that". I am an RN not a nicu or peds but those nurses are Highly highly trained. And the jobs are coveted. So straight from nursing school. Not likely in peds.

[@maremesarr6025]

How was it?

[@florida1795]

I purchased an Owlet in February 2020 for my preemie baby. Worked really well the first month. However one night, and of course it happens at night when customer service isn’t available, but it dropped connection to our wi fi. We did all the recommended troubleshooting tips, unfortunately nothing helped. It kept saying “searching for base station” or “wi fi not connected.” Like this video says, the Owlet will still work at the base station, but it will be unusable with the app through your phone. Which is one of the main parts about it that I liked. My issue, along with many other similar issues can be read on the Owlet App for iPhones. Many complaints are about the same problem. Customer service for Owlet will say it’s a problem with the app, and they’re working on it. Well it’s been a problem for the last two years at least for some customers. I’m not a person to post reviews on social media, but I just feel for the money people will spend on this product to be fully aware, that it’s not always reliable.

[@sandrabarks8586]

Baby monitor the smart sock is very sympathetic to me, probably because I use a similar one for my child, only from Monbaby. Smart sensors are really very important in the life of our children.

i have owlet for 5 months and i absolutely love it..yes at first few days we had a lot of false alarm but when you know how to use it i had maybe 1-2 false alarm in last 4 months...and i dont think it was false alarm when she was few days old and she was crying and got worked up her heart rate could go up..i remember few days of using i was nit very happy with it but now when i know how to use it i recomend it to every parent//the heart rate reading is very accurate i check it with stethoscope and when baby is wigggling it shows this as well

[@KiraKira-hb6ik]

[@ashleycorum7917]

[@kennymathiesen9642]

I'm curious how babies survived prior to these overly expensive devices came around. I've worked in the medical field for over 25 years, have a 23 year old and expecting another in April. If your baby had complications, I totally agree with something this like this, however if your baby is perfectly healthy, don't stress yourself out more than you need to.

[@tinybbyk]

Kenny Mathiesen THANK YOU for posting this!!!!!!! My son is now 16 months old and I couldn’t imagine how stressed I would’ve been if I had gotten this product. I was already extremely anxious since I had a miscarriage and was convinced my son was going to die if I wasn’t next to him. Constantly being able to check his heartbeat, breathing, etc would’ve driven me INSANE.

[@geekemedia]

Some did and some died. Not all babies due from SIDS obviously, the item is to give you piece of mind incase your child happens to be an unlucky victim of SIDS. A friend of mines baby just died from SIDS two months ago, despite that so many other peoples baby didnt die, hers still did. No way of knowing at all if you'll be the next victim or not, better safe than sorry

[@nusaybahansar9285]

Yeah, my mom (mother of soon-to-be 7) Said as long as your baby is healthy you really don't have much to worry about, especially if you co sleep or have a bedside bassinet. (She co-slept with all of us)

[@megann2546]

That’s easy to say if you’ve never had a healthy baby die from SIDS. The life-changing heartache experienced by the few is enough to keep me from taking a risk. Any life saved is worth it.

[@bethechangeme2233]

In the 1800's there was an almost 50% infant mortality rate. Now there is a 0.5% infant mortality rate. innovations like this no doubt contribute to this reduced infant mortality rate. To state "how did babies survive before all this stuff" .. well.. they didn't, almost 50% of them didn't. It is important to be prudent and understand the risks to your baby because ignorance of these often preventable risks is what is responsible for a large number of infant deaths that we do see nowadays and you can bet these poor mothers were unaware because some ignorant person told them not to worry about anything. We absolutely should consider all risks and respond accordingly and give our little ones the best chance possible, failure to do this is literally the cause of many of the infant mortality's we see today.

[@primroseprairie]

I got this for my newborn and I do enjoy takes a little anxiety away just getting to monitor her heart rate and oxygen level, however mines has went off twice not sure if her levels get low or a false alarm bc when I close the app and re open it it says it’s back to normal. I would say best to get this on a deal bc it is pricey. I got lucky enough to get the bundle at more than half off!

[@ingriddabela5318]

where did you get the deal?

[@sherinzar2917]

Does it record the live streams camera footage?

[@annarealestate3441]

what do you think of the levana oma? its $119. Is the owlet still a lot better?

[@jackmclane1826]

The price tag is hefty for such little equipment. But it's a unique product. If you are on a tight budget, you can get it used for ~30% off and sell it at your babys birthday. So the costs are severly softened. (It's a great gift idea for the grandparents!) Or use one of the other systems like Monbaby, Jablotron, and probably some more. It's not necessary, but worth it. Like insurance. You pay some money to protect what you can't stand to lose. Even if it is rarely needed. But I would not go without it.

[@allyoucaneat.]

Call me a snob but $250 is actually quite a LOW price if you budget properly. The device itself is simple, and as many parents have said, it's given them a peace of mind when monitoring baby.

[@alejandroariasmendoza8047]

Do you have access ot the new iBaby Monitor M7 before is released? if yes can you upload a review about it. Thanks.

[@dadverb]

I was actually in contact with one rep from iBaby recently but time got away from me. I've been testing the Arlo Baby lately and will release that review soon since that retails at a similar price point. I can try reaching out to iBaby again and seeing what we can do.

I recently lost my son to SIDS in April. He was put down for a nap. Another thing that they say is to keep your child in your room until they are 1.

[@geekemedia]

They told me 6 months.

[@tamara201211]

I'm so sorry for your lost 💜🧡💚💛

[@amaradryden720]

I'm sorry for your loss. He's safe, warm, and loved in Heaven ❤️

[@laceyolsen1845]

Have you looked at the Snuza? I'm assuming you'd recommend this more? This would tell if they baby stopped breathing, correct ?

[@BeTheChange5276]

Lacey Olsen I hate the snuza. It constantly falls off and isn't compatible with cloth diapers

[@emmyengy4279]

​@@BeTheChange5276 What do you think about MonBaby? I`m using it for a half a year, seems it works perfectly.

[@katherineportillo360]

So you have to connect the sock to WiFi

[@meganmccaslin4795]

Have you done a review on sense-u monitor or nanit pro complete set?

[@dadverb]

Not Sense-U but Nanit Pro is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYqTppKuapqGhtU

Can owlett work on hotspot?

[@littlemrs.fabulous9432]

I was almost s victim of sids when I was a baby. My mom put me in my swing under the tree in the front yard while she was doing some yard work and my head tilted funny because I fell asleep so she rolled up some small blankets up to help support my head better. She contued her work and when she checked on me my face was slightly in the blanket and when she pulled the blanket I gasped for air. Scary right!

[@dadverb]

That's quite a scare for any parent indeed. Thank you for taking the time to share your story. Any family who ends up buying Owlet would most certainly benefit.

[@anothersomebody8195]

You sure your mom wasn't seeing the Moro Reflex? Were you blue in the face or something?

[@amarashah1277]

@dadverb can u please tell me the difference between the first gen and this one?

[@manypandy]

Mostly the shape of the sock was greatly improved with the 2nd gen.

[@vampirezio6996]

It has been 4 years since you made this video, still recommend it?

[@tmastersat]

Is your app live ours comes and goes in the app

[@AlexManMe]

Has the range been fixed?

[@alexajones2331]

Is the sock not very uncomfortable for the baby

[@jessemartinez6387]

Dose anyone know if your phone still gets a reading if you are out with baby and the bay is at home for example like a smart watch send updates to your phone?

[@manypandy]

The sock must be in range of the base. Your app will work if you are away from the baby such as if you are at work but the sock on the baby must be in physical range of the base to pick up the signal from the sock. So it's not the phone app that is connected to the sock, the base is connected to the sock

[@ashleyw8526]

Can they still be swaddled or wear feet pajamas?

[@annacaldwell9613]

Has anyone had any issues with it burning the baby's foot? This seems to be a common thing in reviews on Amazon...

[@palakaman]

Can you set the heart rate or oxygen level it sets the alarm off?

[@TechWellness]

No

[@fernandapassoswalker2140]

Does the phone send/show an alert if the oxygen drops? Or does only the base do that? Does the phone make any kind of noise? Thanks!

[@dadverb]

Sorry for the slow response. Yes, your phone will alert you and rings whenever the base senses an issue.

[@krystalgreenwood7195]

Does anyone know if you can use the app for twins?

[@rename1990]

I also want to know if we can use it for twins. Wonder if you can buy a second sock and use the same base and app.

[@brlxnnx]

Really late but yes you can!

[@amandafletcher4379]

I couldn't get it to fit my baby's foot. I tried all the tips and tricks and her foot was just too narrow. Got a snuza instead. :-/ I still have the owlet cam though.

[@anothersomebody8195]

Same for us. The fact that they don't send a premie sock is ridiculous. That's when you need them MOST!

[@Kurie]

I refuse to put any EMF radiating devices on my newborn.

[@seasonsoflife1324]

Watching this has me thinking about the little mermaid where the seagull was listening to prince Eric’s feet after Ariel saved him 🤷‍♀️Lol

[@MrsNG-rr6rk]

Someone take this person phone away lmbo

[@jasminefranklin3104]

Will the monitor notify if baby hasn’t moved after a period of time

[@dadverb]

The monitor isn't able to track and alert for movement, rather only oxygen and breathing levels.

[@PlayRightParent]

Can you use the app on two different smartphones at the same time?

[@OzProductJunkie]

PlayRightParent Yep you can. We have it on two iPhones 🙂

[@anothersomebody8195]

We had issues and tech support said to delete the apps and re- pair. I thought it was due to my wife's iPhone being different than my android. We only loaded it on her iPhone, but it started giving loose sock warnings again 3 days later. We currently have a $200 paperweight collecting dust on my wife's nightstand.
