Owlet's real appeal, though (and, honestly, the only justification for its $359-$459 price tag), is the peace of mind it brings parents of newborns. It's a data geek's Hallmark card: My BPM calms at your voice. Like when I'm singing my son to sleep before bed, the Owlet sock tells me his heart rate slows. It's neat to notice trends and patterns you wouldn't otherwise have access to. I track my own sleep, physical activity and heart rate with my Fitbit Charge 4, and the Owlet app provides similar bio-intel, but for my son.

I'm no stranger to the joy of (sometimes useless) data collection - I manually tracked my son's milk intake, diapers and naps for a full year, for no good reason. The Owlet Smart Sock measures heart rate, breathing and sleep trends. But the appetite for monitoring baby vitals has only increased in the years since Owlet's launch, and the smart baby monitor field is crowded with competitors like the Nanit Pro, Cubo AI and Miku Smart Baby Monitor, which measure and track breathing, oxygen levels, temperature, sleep quality and other stats, organizing it all in visually appealing charts and graphs that data-hungry millennial parents like me eat right up. This kind of baby tech can start to seem like a solution in search of a problem. Plus, the company has updated its tracking algorithms to account for older children.

The new Smart Sock Plus looks and functions the same as the Smart Sock 3, but it comes in larger sizes.
