Embr Wave Cooling and Warming Wristband - Personalized Thermal Relief - Manage Hot Flashes, Night Sweats, Sleep, Anxiety - FSA HSA Eligible - Clinically Proven - Rechargeable - Black

I bought this to help manage my menopause hot flashes at night, but I ended up wearing it all day and night. The battery life has been impressive— I click the preset buttons when I need it and haven’t used the all-night setting. It’s definitely improved my sleep quality. Whenever I feel a hot flash coming on, I press the cool button, which not only helps me feel less panicky but also lets me fall back asleep faster during the night. I also love the warming setting! I’ve used it while outside in cold weather, and it provides a cozy, comfortable warmth—temperature level 3 is plenty warm for me. The highest cool setting could be even colder for my liking, but being in menopause, I’m not sure anything would feel cold enough! 😄 The app is easy to use and quite helpful, especially when it comes to adjusting the button presets. I didn’t grant full permissions, so I don’t have access to all of the "Learn" section, but so far, I haven’t felt the need for it. I can track my usage, which is interesting to see, especially during the night. As for the band, I struggled with the metal band that came with it. It constantly snagged on my clothes and wasn’t very comfortable. I ordered the comfort band from Embr Labs, but unfortunately, that wasn’t a great fit either—it would feel too tight and the velcro closure wasn’t easy to adjust. After some searching, I found a soft, stretchy 18mm braided watch band on Amazon (2 for $15) that works much better! The listing didn’t say it was compatible with the Embr Wave, but it works perfectly (it said it was compatible with the Garmin Venu -though I’m not sure what that is). Now, I can easily switch which arm I wear it on, even in the middle of the night. I also bought the comfort bumper case from Embr Labs, which I’m happy with. When the unit is on the cooling setting, the outside can get warm (which makes sense), but it can feel counterproductive when you’re trying to cool down. The bumper has helped solve this issue. This was a big investment for me, so I did my research, read a lot of reviews, and waited for a Black Friday sale before making the purchase. I can honestly say I’d be lost without it now—I’ve grown quite attached to this little but powerful device. This could be a game-changer for so many people with all kinds of different needs, though I do wish it were more affordable because I’d love to buy one for all my family and friends!

This thing is amazing. It looks like a watch, so it's very discreet. But it's quite effective at relieving hot spells. I don't know how well it works at keeping you warm because it's the middle of summer and I haven't had the chance to try out it's warming capabilities yet. I will say that it feels quite hot on my wrist on the lowest setting because I activated the heating mode by accident when I first wore it. I'll try to update my experience with this during winter use. My wife brought the EMBR Wave hone one day; she borrowed it from a coworker. She told me what it does and I was very skeptical. But she enthusiastically claimed that it kept away her hot flashes (lately she's always warm and sweating), and that she was also calm. We both also suffer from night sweats and often have difficulty sleeping, even with the air conditioner on. But since we got the EMBR Wave 2 we've both been sleeping comfortably at night. I first thought that this was only for women. But after wearing the first generation Wave and experiencing how well it worked for me, we both ordered 2 units; one for each of us. Prime had an estimated 3 day delivery, but we opted for the free 2 day delivery from the seller. And to our surprise these arrived the next day. We ordered them on Wednesday afternoon and received both units Thursday afternoon. Wow! Kudos to the seller. The EMBR Wave 2 is very easy to wear and to take off. The band is a fine mesh metal band with a strong magnet to hold it in place. The side with the square ceramic tile goes on your skin, and it's recommended to have the buttons facing your elbow. But I face the buttons toward my fingers instead because I can see the tiny L.E.D. light much easier this way and it doesn't affect the unit's effectiveness. The button with the white dot is for cold and the other button is for heat. Press the dotted button twice to activate the cooling effect and keep tapping to increase cooling level. The same procedure is done on the other button for heat. There are 5 temperature levels. Blue light indicates cold, red is for heat, and white means your EMBR has been activated. The Wave 2 lasts about 2 days of constant use for us and it takes about 2 hours to fully charge. A magnetic charging disc and USB C cable comes with the device. Two POGO pins magnetically attach to gold contacts on back of the Wave 2. There are only a few negatives I can say about the Wave 2. The first is that it uses a charging disc with a removable USB C cable. This is another piece of equipment I really don't want to carry or have it break on me. The original Wave only used a micro USB cable to plug in the back. I wish the Wave 2 used only a USB C cable to charge. Next, the band, although nice, is not removable. That means you can't change it to your favorite watch band. Some people may have allergies to the metal in this band. Next, the design change really doesn't do it for me. It seems that the Wave 2 cooling/heating surface is smaller than the Wave's. I also prefer the large L.E.D. bar on the Wave. The Wave 2 buttons and light are tiny. I really like the light bar on the original Wave. It was more intuitive, easier to see, and easier to operate. It might seem like these negatives are a deal breaker. But the improved quality of life that we're enjoying now outweigh these small negatives. I would ask the designers to bring back the design of the original Wave and add a USB C connection for faster charging, instead of micro USB. If you suffer from hot flashes, night sweats, feeling cold too easily, I recommend giving the EMBR Wave 2 a try. And the seller does a great job of sending it out quickly to you too👍

I could be a spokesperson for this! I use to have hot flashes 2 or 3 every hour. Nighttime. Daytime. It doesn't matter. I take 2 meds to help reduce the numbers. Before Embr, with my pills, I'd get maybe 10/day, and about 4 at night. So 15-20/day with meds. When you start using it, it doesn't provide relief instantly. Give it about a week or two to really see the difference it makes. I doubted but had too much money in my HSA in Dec, so I got it. It works wonders! I haven't had to clean off my forehead from all the sweating in weeks orrr if I haven't charged it up. When you feel it starting in your head, hit that button a few times and the hot flash dissipates into nothing. It just goes away. I've always tried to play the game with myself, how long can I keep my blanket on at night before I HAVE TO kick them off. I never got through a full hot flash before they come off. Now, don't even have to move. I push that button, and I'm good. I'm just an ordinary female that's TRULY struggled with hot flashes for more than 10 years (did ya know, for some of us, they may never rarely go away!). I want women to know, this thing is a bit odd. Trust me. I don't do fads and I don't jump on bandwagons. This does work. I've bumped it a few times, couple scratches. I'm not a fan of the band. It opens up sometimes and slides down my wrist. Battery life is somewhat decent. I am very pleased with this purchase!

OK, so I don't leave reviews normally but I hope this might be helpful for others. I have suffered with Raynaulds for many years, and like most sufferers have tried many items to help with symptoms. First I must qualify that my Raynaulds is fairly mild compared to many people, but it is still unpleasant and debilitating. Until now, the only thing that has helped is heated gloves. The only problem with these is they are fairly bulky; ideal for when out walking etc but not any use when at work or carrying out tasks. Although the Embr Wave 2 has received many excellent reviews, they were predominantly for the cooling effect; I couldn't find anyone who had specifically tried it for Raynaulds. I didn't expect it to work but thought it was worth a go given the 30 day money back guarantee. I also considered that it might be quite bulky at 41mm diameter and 15mm thickness. This turned out not to be a problem even for my smaller 6.25inch wrists, as the device is very nicely made, smooth and rounded so that it slips under your clothes really easily. I generally forget I am wearing it. So..... Game changer! No, it doesn't offer a cure. No, it doesn't even stop attacks altogether. No, it is not a miracle. And no, it may not work for everyone. But.... it certainly had helped my symptoms and made my daily life a lot more pleasant. The app (optional) allows you to configure the device and was very easy to use. After experimenting I set the device so that when activated it provides a gentle (level 2) warmth for 30 mins. Whenever I feel an attack coming on, or am aware of a situation that would normally cause an attack, then I activate the device. As a result, the attacks are very much reduced and a lot shorter. Obviously it will not replace gloves for outdoor walking etc, but for daily life at work (air conditioned office, you know the problem!) and around the home, this device has offered a fantastic relief and improvement to quality of life. You do need to get used to it for a couple of weeks to get the maximum benefit, but if you suffer with Raynaulds then I highly recommend giving it a go. The 30 day money back guarantee means you can return it if it doesn't help you, so you have nothing to lose.

I was in Perimenopause for 18 months before having a total hysterectomy last month and this plunged me into instant menopause. Where I was increasingly warm, I became an inferno of internal heating and sweat!!! I tried cooling blankets (good) and ice pillow inserts (good whilst cold) but nothing was helping me to cool down... till this AMAZING watch!!! It's a considered purchase these days at £249, but within 3 hours, I already knew it was worth every penny. It feels like an ice cube on your wrist on a hot summer's day. And even though this is only happening on one wrist within minutes I was cooling down all over. Last night was the first night this year that I didn't sweat!!! At all!!! Several friends have now tried mine on, and I they were also impressed with how cooling it is. The quick blast of cool is great if you get suddenly hot, and the overnight 9 hour cool results in a sweat free sleep. The warming button is very warm to me, but that's probably because I'm hot already. I'm looking forward to trying it on cool winter walk though. In conclusion, if, like me, you've been looking for a way to combat the menopause, add this to your arsenal and keep cool 😎
