5/16/2023 0 Comments Embr hot flashesI was slightly skeptical at first as to how a small device on my wrist could fix my nightly overheating problem but the Embr Labs Wave 2 has stunned me with how well it works. Allow the customer to choose which band they want with their purchase.The app is still in development and I’m very excited to see the tracking and see what I can learn about my usage. I did use it during the day and did at least 15, 10 minute Cool Downs and barely wore down the battery so with sporadic use through out the day the battery may last quite a while. Using it all night will use up most of the battery so you will have to charge it daily if you use it like I do. You can select how long the session lasts from seven, eight or nine hours long so it won’t turn off before you are awake. I use All Night – Cool every night to keep me from getting to hot while sleeping. Each session is tailored for a specific purpose. There are also four different categories for different sessions that you can run from the Embr Wave 2 app. These settings can be changed at any time through the app as well. I obviously set mine to cooling but for those who are always cold are able to tailor the device to keep them warm as well. When you set up the Embr Wave 2 app it allows you to set your user preferences. I found that they do make a Velcro elastic band that you can purchase separately that would fix that issue but I think having the option to pick the band at purchase would be nice. I also found that the nice metal band constantly pulled out my arm hairs. I spend all day sitting at the computer and it did get in the way of normal movement and I had to take it off. However, it is hard to wear while working at a computer due to the fact it is worn on the inside of the wrist. The size of the Embr Wave 2 is no bigger than a standard smartwatch.

I advise at first starting out with it on the warmest cool setting or the coolest warm setting to prevent that from happening. It did sneak up on me a few times and I felt that I had either burnt my wrist or had frost bite. Be careful because the temperature change does fluctuate in waves, it is easy to have the temperature to increase to something quite uncomfortable and painful. Either temperature starts gradually slowing increasing in intensity then fading away again in a wave. The cool setting feels like someone put an ice cube directly on the inside of your wrist while the warm setting is like pressing a hot cup of coffee there instead. The feel of the device does take some time to get use too. To adjust the temperature during the session, press the button corresponding to the direction you wish the temperature to move. Press either button to turn it on then select either the hot or cold button to start a ten minute session. The Embr Wave 2 is controlled by two buttons on the side of the Wave 2 or through the app connected via Bluetooth. The center LED will glow green while charging, white when the device is turned on, blue in cooling mode and orange in warming mode. The LED in the middle of the buttons is the indicator light while the one on the far left side of the image is only used for firmware updates. The button with the dot is the cold button while the non marked on is hot. On the side of the Embr Wave 2 is two buttons for controlling the device. However, do not submerge it, it is not waterproof. I accidentally splashed some soup on it and after wiping it down with a damp rag it was no worse for the wear. Despite having a large conductive pad on the back, it is safe to wash your hands with it on. The back of it has the large thermoelectric pad and two charging dots that line up with the magnetic charging puck. While the metal looks nice at first, I did find it did get scratched up pretty quickly since it is worn on the inside of the wrist and easily knocked into things. The front is mostly metal with a small plastic top slice. The Embr Wave 2 has a very simple design.
