Reflect Orb Smart Biofeedback Device for Stress Relief, Mindfulness & Anxiety, Real-Time Heart Rate & Skin Conductance Tracking, Guided Breathing & Meditation App, 1-Year Membership

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered the Reflect Orb, but it has become one of the most useful wellness tools I've purchased. What I appreciate most is that it gives real-time feedback rather than simply telling you to "relax." Being able to see how my body responds as I focus on my breathing or mindfulness techniques has helped me become much more aware of how stress shows up physically. The visual feedback makes it easier to stay engaged and actually practice calming techniques instead of getting distracted. The Orb itself is well-designed, comfortable to hold, and surprisingly intuitive to use. I also like that it can be used for just a few minutes at a time, whether I'm feeling stressed, having trouble focusing, or simply want to reset during a busy day. If you're interested in mindfulness, meditation, emotional regulation, or finding practical ways to manage stress, I think this is well worth trying. It's not a magic solution, but it is an effective tool that helps you build skills that can carry over into everyday life. I'm very glad I decided to give it a chance.

I should have taken more notice of the negative reviews for this device but I wanted it to work. However like many others it refused to pair in this case with my laptop. I spent quite some time trying to understand how to get it to work but nothing was successful. I have given up and packed it away in its box. I don't think I can return it, it came from the USA so it will end up in the rubbish. It seems to me that it would have been so much better if this was a standalone device with the option of using an app.

Not that I was sceptical on whether it would work, but I was sceptical on how much value it would add. Both my wife and already meditate on and off. Where this has helped us is training the body and mind on focusing on the specific feelings/visualizations/steps to relax the body and mind. In this way, I am training my body and mind to remain calm while I am still living life (as opposed to just relaxing while meditating). It is a good training tool and I'm glad I took a chance on this. I would assume the same could be said about any biofeedback device, which gives active and real time feedback. I do like the texture and shape of this. It's fun to hold, comfortable and I would recommend it.

I don't normally write product reviews, nor do I normally buy things like this, but both kind of happened on a whim.... So here we are! Anyway, I think this is a pretty awesome tool. To explain why, I present to you a story: Before the pandemic I had a decent habit of going to yoga classes once or twice a week. One thing I really appreciated about the classes was having a guide (the instructor) that could help me with my practice. The instructor both helped make sure I was doing moves correctly and was able to give me feedback in order to help me improve. The reflect orb acts like a guide for meditation in a similar manner. If desired, you can watch the rings in real time to get a sense of how alert or calm you are in the moment and/or if you set up and sync with the app, which I recommend doing, you can wait until your session ends and you can look back on the session data to see how it went. This feedback helps me to see how effective the current meditation approach is for me. I've figured out that some breathing techniques work better for me and certainly some environments work better for me. While it can be adorable to have my cat begging for attention during my attempted meditation, it typically doesn't lead to the best session. So, I try to meditate with some space between us when I can. 😃 So far I haven't been too surprised by what I've seen based on how I'm feeling, but I really like being able to keep track of all of that data and seeing how it has changed and will change over time. The app also has a lot of other nice features to help encourage consistent practices and mindfulness beyond just the immediate session. It's a silly easy thing, but I really like the notifications I set through the app to remind myself to meditate. I have a bit of a problem with goofing off way too late into the night, so I set nightly reminders encouraging myself to meditate. I don't always listen to these notifications, but when I do I certainly sleep better. The app also encourages journaling how your session went, which I've been enjoying way more than I thought I would. I've never been too big into journaling, but here I am continuing to write after a session. Maybe I'm learning new things about myself? Okay, enough rambling. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get into meditation or anyone who already likes it, but would like a guide of sorts to help them explore it further. Hope this helps!

i love it when it works i did very long 30 to 50 minute sessions and the orb at times would DIE on me dead cold wont turn on for a week i let it sit and one of them came back to life after a week... i had 3 sent one back got a refund on one also the customer service is not the best have to wait a week for them to get back to you and they didnt fix the problem the orbs die cold on me all them done this now a few times each wait for two orbs to come back to life never know when that will happen from 3 days to over a week till i not sure when
