Reviews: What People Think About Spire Stone

I was excited to try this device as I’m a beginner at meditation, and understand the benefits of deep breathing. Plus, I notice I tend to hold my breath a lot. So I just wanted a way to monitor my breathing & all get more relaxed & stress free. At first the device seemed to be working great. I was getting my notifications about tense breathing & also times of being calm. Then now, on a daily basis it is showing it is only keeping track of approximately 4 hours of my day, when I am wearing it for 15 hours. It also tells me to reposition my spire, but it is on my bra strap... so there’s only so much room & so many places for it to be moved. I think that may be the glitch in it...but I’m not sure. I would not buy another one when this one goes out.

Spire has changed my life around! I suffer from anxiety and the one thing everyone told me was "just breathe". And I never thought much of it, like yeah ok breath, that will help... Whelp, my aunt Chris did a lot of research on what would be good to help me deal with stress and anxiety. She came across SPIRE and after hours of reading reviews, blogs and videos about it, she decided to surprise me with it. At first I was no way will this help.... Well after 5 days of using this amazing this device I can honestly say I love it!!! I am now so focused on my breathing, daily routines, and everyday tasks and with Spire it really works great!! I sleep better at night, I'm more focused at work, I now meditation using Spire. Just wanted to say thank you. I hope someone gets to read this;). You're team, and you sweet little calming device has changed me. I no longer drink, no longer smoke cigarettes (only if I had a beer) (still no excuse). I'm eating healthier, now walking everywhere. I can go on and on but my SPIRE just notified me that I have been sitting to long, I'm going to go stretch my legs and get some fresh air. Thank you so much;).

Poor connection to iPhone over Bluetooth, mediocre recording of respiratory status, and completely asynchronous correlation to stress level. Within the first few days of wearing this I found myself in a heated discussion with my 12-year-old over honesty. Throughout the 10 to 12 minute conversation I noted my respiratory rate becoming more shallow and quicker. Despite being in the throes of a heated family discussion the app congratulated me for over six minutes of being calm.
I am a physician and spent the better part of a 10 hour shift on my feet, during which the stone recorded a total of 86 steps. It also stated that it could not download the data to my iPhone because it is been over six hours since it was in contact with the phone ...despite the fact that my phone was in my pocket just above where I was wearing the stone.
Well this is a very novel idea it certainly seems as though the execution is very lacking at this stage.
