First off, the battery is a non-issue to me. If it lasts 2-3 nights then I'll charge it every night like I do every other device I have, which is what most people do to my knowledge.
Second, if I'm trying to analyze my sleep statistics, I don't think I, nor anyone else can resort to pen and paper to effectively study several nights of sleep and the many factors to sleep.
Next, if you're sleeping with someone else and intend to wake up, how is the method in which the Wakemate wakes you any more intrusive than a regular alarm? In fact, it is a regular alarm. I'm sure he simply imagined a vibrating wristband and so was disappointed with a regular alarm. Which is fine, but, vibration could also just as easily annoy others. It's personal preference and not poor design.
Finally, what irks me most is that he complains about the Wakemate setting off when you're already awake. Complaining about this tells me he doesn't know what the Wakemate is. It wakes you up at the optimal time such that he feels refreshed. If he's already awake and wants to chill in bed, that's a personal preference. Though I personally would enjoy doing the same it is precisely this habit that causes me to fall asleep again and then wake up at a non-optimal moment and end up not feeling groggy. The point is to wake up refreshed and I feel he missed the point there.
