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

Great for deaf and vision impaired.
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.

Great product! Happy I got it
Love this. It's a little hard to set initially, but it works so well. Simple, seems like it's good quality, and great value. Hopefully it will last. I don't like the feeling of sleeping with anything on my wrist but it's not uncomfortable. However, I prefer to put it next to me in bed and I still wake up from the vibration. I'd still prefer that to my phone on vibration setting, as I don't trust my phone being next to my head.

Very strong vibration
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.

Lackluster Investment
In all honesty...Invest in a fitbit or another alarm and watch.

The battery is tricking you!
When my battery gets below percent it dies and when i start charging it after that it shows its charging and is in the 1-10% range of battery and then quickly turns to 60% again. The battery reading is lying to you and only has half the max charge it claims but they programmed to add 50% max charge so it seems like it has more than it really does.Ive also noticed that sometimes the alarms randomly dont go off despite being enabled. However this is somewhat rare.I'm not rating this at 1 star however as its not uncomfortable and when the alarms work is is really nice to have 12 of them. Its also nice that the watch dosent light up all the time and only does when you press the buttons.

This watch is perfect!
The media could not be loaded. I bought this watch for traveling purposes, so I won’t wake others with my alarm. The vibration is strong and I love I can set multiple alarms. It is easy to set the alarms if you read the manual. Also, the battery seems to last long. I have been using it for over a week and have not charged it at all yet.
