I saw this a few years ago here on ST, and now that they're actually available, I'm thinking of getting one. Are the metrics useful or actionable? The cynic in me says it's great for making sure your hematocrit isn't too high, but I'm wondering if it's useful for lay athletes as well.

You're worried about your hematocrit being too high?

I have one and I can say this for sure...anyone and everyone who does any sort of altitude preparation - that is to say legit living at elevation or using some variation on a hypobaric chamber - would do very well in utilizing an Ember to add immediate accuracy to their duration at elevation. It also would be essential in the return to low elevations in terms of timing for a peak. There are more applications but that one is extra special.

Revisting this thread. I got the 1st UNLIMITED test model from Kickstarter and have used it off and on for awhile It is nice to see how you're recovering and your hemoglobin when using a tent or other attitude training. I'm listing mine now on the forum for sale. This is the unlimited test model so you won't every have to buy a package for more tests. again the link is https://www.cercacor.com/collections/buy-ember If your using a tent of going to the mountain often to raiser your hemoglobin levels, this for sure helps and it's cheaper than a few blood tests.
