eSeasonGearVB80 12 Alarm Vibrating Watch, Silent Vibration Shake Wake ADHD Medication Reminder

The product title seems to advertise for the ADHD but this watch is quite useful for the deaf and vision impaired. I like it better than my Fitbit Sense. It doesn't stink up from needing to be worn snug or feel intrusive while I sleep. It's lightweight, as the watch display is nearly as thin as the silicone band, and can be worn loosely-- I don't even notice it around my wrist yet it still wakes me up without an issue.This is impressive for a deaf guy needing a vibrating alarm clock who spent at least $50 on those deaf clocks that come with a vibrating wired puck (or wireless) you put under the pillow that sometimes fail because it unplugs or the puck falls off the bed. The deaf clocks are prone to design flaws. I hated needing to set the deaf clock's vibration back on after the alarm went off because I'd sometimes forget to set it back on or set it incorrectly because the button slider design has a bad tactile feel to it which led to some days where I didn't wake up and I was late. The alarm of the VB80 is set by its own software and automatically goes off everyday without the need to press anything (other than to stop the buzzing) to readjust the alarm thus always works via set it and forget it. The Fitbit requires your phone in order for the alarm to set but ends up glitching, plus the aforementioned problems with deaf clocks-- I find the VB80 to be the holy grail product that solves my vibrating alarm clock issue. I get the anxious-free feeling that the alarm will work 100% of the time rather than other devices where 99% or less has led to being late a few times. If you're hearing impaired and rely on vibrating alarms you must know what I'm talking about. It's those little things in design that can royally screw up a product. I'm writing to let you know the VB80 is the best solution I have found.The font size is big on the VB80, which is useful for the vision impaired. The watch's horizontal display rather than a conventional round or square display allows plenty of room to display numbers and letters.EDIT: I've owned it for a year and still love this thing. The battery life is insane. Charge it once for only a few minutes and it lasts for a month. I recently discovered a secret. When the battery reaches 10% the watch shuts off and can't be turned on. After charging it, the watch displayed the correct time and retained my alarms. I think what's going on is the company programmed the watch to power off at 10% in order to utilize the remaning battery life to keep your settings so you don't have to configure it again? Truly a set it and forget it watch.I just got home from bumping into a guy on the street causing the clock to fall out so I ordered another one.Word of advice: be careful when you lift the band to charge it. I ripped the band which caused the clock to slip out sometimes. I wore it loosely today so grinding into someone caused it to fall out and I lost it. Kinda funny knowing that thing will buzz loudly every morning on the street for a month. Happy to buy another one though! If they sell spare bands I recommend getting some because they're a little fragile. As someone with a deafblind condition, I plan to use this forever.

Once you labor through the initial setup this is a great little alarm. I use this as my primary means of getting up nice and early and it hasn’t failed to rouse me. The battery is impressive and I’ve charged it maybe twice in about 3 months of daily use.Using the watch has some minor frustrations like how you have to wait a good few seconds to check the time if you press the wrong button of the two buttons, but that’s a minor enough annoyance that for the price I’m going to keep using these as long as they’re being made.

So strong. I measure 2.5G of acceleration while I'm wearing this (2.5G vertical axis - side-to-side is even higher, at 5.7G!). By comparison, Garmin Vivoactive 4 is 1.1G vertical and pretty low side-to-side, because it is a linear (one-axis only) vibrator. The VB80 apparently has a rotary vibrator, which has vibration in a whole plane instead of just a straight line. The 1.1G of the Garmin is actually pretty good, especially because many smart watches use a linear vibrator with the axis in the wrong direction - side-to-side instead of up-and-down. But as good as the Garmin is, the VB80 is so much stronger. Highly recommended.

One side of the buckle broke away from the band immediately as I was taking it out of the packaging and trying it on for the first time. I fixed it with some duct tape and set about playing with the settings only to discover this device has a unquestionably the least user friendly interface I’ve ever experienced. I did after a considerable period manage to figure it out and the vibrating function does seem to be about what I expected. Will try using it as an alarm on Monday.

This simple, inexpensive vibrating wrist alarm has been invaluable in helping me manage my time. Since employing its use, I have yet to miss a meeting or an appointment. It has also help me manage/oversee time sensitive tasks.It can be a little tricky to set the times for the alarms, and alarms cannot be set for specific days, but the alarms are easy enough to turn on and off, so it is not that much of an inconvenience for me. It charges quickly and holds the charge for about 3 weeks. The vibrating alarm is perfect for my work environment, going off without disrupting others around me. There are a few features that I wish it did have, but for the price I really can’t be asking for anything more. I will be purchasing a second one as a back up. This is how much I have come to depend on this simple, effective alarm.

Cheap it works, super fast charging. Decent battery life.Vibration is incredibly weak. All I personally pitched this watch was for alarms being set to wake me up. Wanted something to be on my wrist that vibrates to wake me but not make noise. It’s just the vibration is way too weak. I’ve taken it off and handed it to multiple people asking them what did they think about the vibration and all asked agreed that it was too weak.The watch works. Multiple alarms can be set.Simple and easy to program. Has military time as an option. You can check the alarms to see if it’s on or off and switch them easily. Battery life is easy to check. But if this thing was stronger I’d be truly pleased. I wear it because I paid for it. But it’s just a super simple watch for me.
