Apollo Neuro - Wearable for Sleep Quality, Relaxation, and Focus – Supports Restful Nights, Calm, and Mental Clarity (Rose)

As someone deeply invested in nervous system regulation—for both myself and my clients—the Apollo Neuro wristband has become one of my favorite wearables and tools in the biohacking space. Working with clients and even in my own health journey I see how implicated stress and the nervous system can be when it comes to healing and health optimization. We have so many stressful inputs in our daily lives, it’s really hard to remember to stop and breathe and be fully present, so I love how simple yet profound this technology is! The design is incredibly thoughtful. The wrist strap is light and comfortable, and it’s a sleek and sporty design. My favorite thing about Apollo is that you can get the benefits anytime and anywhere! It really a “no excuses” health tool! For anyone looking to increase their resilience, support nervous system tone, improve recovery, increase energy, or even just feel more at ease during their day, this wearable is absolutely worth it.

The strap is cheap and poorly made. The Velcro won’t stick, It constantly falls off. It’s also way too big. The only time I can use it is if I’m sitting and my hand is completely still. Def not worth the price. Should be like $50 with this cheap Velcro strap. Also, I’ve only worn this for a few days and it’s already worn out and falling off.

I bought this because I'd been advised that vagus nerve stimulation would help my anxiety and general feelings of unhappiness. I can't say that I'm popping champagne corks all day every day, but this little gizmo is a game-changer!! Without drugs, I find I sleep better, and can use it to go back to sleep when I wake up. During the day, I feel calmer, and am steadier emotionally than I would ever have thought. And I have used it to boost my energy when I need that. I have used it in social situations when I felt uneasy, and it worked. I have no battery issues, but I, like other reviewers, pay attention to the charge and the need to recharge, so I think it's a non-issue for anyone paying reasonable attention. I am challenged by technology, and even with that, I've been able to fix it the couple of times when there have been issues. I have used this now for a couple of months, and I consider it a priceless tool. How in the world it works is beyond me, but it's the result that counts. And if it's the placebo effect, who cares??? Worth every cent.

Pros: - helps with sleep and focus - great power nap setting Cons: - strap length is very restricting - 1-day or less battery life - white strap gets filthy and won’t look clean no matter how much you clean it I’ve been using my Apollo for about 3 months. I use the Unwind setting for an hour followed by the Sleep setting for an hour each night, and even my health apps have noticed I fall asleep faster. The Focus setting also seems to help me concentrate rather than skipping around between tasks. And the Power Nap is excellent; it hasn’t failed to both lull me into sleep and wake me up just with vibrations. I wish they’d designed the strap differently. The one it comes with is very short and unusable for my ankle. I actually ended up 3D printing adapters that clip onto the Apollo and fit on a quick release watchband. They are coming out with a version 2.0 later this year that has USB-C charging, better battery life, and better straps. It’ll be considerably more expensive, so if this is your max price point it’s worth a trial, but if you might spend more for better features you may want to wait. They appear to have a pretty long return policy - just don’t order the white strap if there’s any chance you may want to return.

I was skeptical at first, but the Apollo Neuro has truly exceeded my expectations. As a mom of four (soon to be five!) and someone deeply invested in holistic healing and root-cause wellness, I’m always on the hunt for tools that actually help regulate the nervous system. This little wearable has been a total game-changer. I use the “Relax and Unwind” mode at night and feel myself drift into a calmer state within minutes. During the day, the “Clear and Focused” and “Rebuild and Recover” modes are my go-tos. It’s subtle—but powerful. Like a whisper to your body saying, “You’re safe. You’ve got this.” What I love most is that it works with your body—not against it. No stimulants, no screens, no pressure to perform. Just gentle vibrational frequencies that help you return to baseline. I’ve also recommended it to clients struggling with anxiety, burnout, and even kids with sensory issues—and they’ve all seen results. If you’re working on healing trauma, detoxing, calming your vagus nerve, or just trying to survive in this overstimulated world, I can’t recommend the Apollo Neuro enough. Totally worth the investment.

The product felt a bit heavy and wasn’t very effective for me, so I decided to return it.

I love my Apollo. It actually does help me relax at night. I also like to put my wrist up by my heart while it’s vibrating if I am feeling extra anxious. A few critiques. 1. I would love if they came up with a smart watch option so I wouldn’t have to wear smart watch anymore. I would love a combo of an Apollo and a smartwatch. 2. If you get the rose gold like I did, the white band gets dirty fast. And stays stained even after washing. I wear mine all the time. I had to dye my band a different color so it doesn’t look bad. 3. I wish there were other band options. I feel like the Velcro isn’t that strong. It fell off in the park one day and I thought I had lost it for good. Luckily I found it after 20 minutes of searching.

Save your money and don’t buy this. This is really expensive, but I was desperate to get some help with my anxiety. Unfortunately, it’s pretty uncomfortable to wear and requires quite a bit of charging both initially and then in between. I’m not really sure how to integrate the app, but it doesn’t vibrate full-time and it’s hard to turn it on. I don’t really get the point to be honest.
