VB80 12 Alarm Vibrating Watch, Silent Vibration Shake Wake ADHD Medication Reminder

After not being able to rely on my Apple Watch to wake me up during the night, I decided to try the VB80 12 Alarm Vibrating Watch. I need to get up during the night to take a medication and don’t want to wake my husband when I do. Unfortunately, if my wrist that is wearing my Apple Watch is under the blankets or my pillow, the alarm quickly shuts off, before waking me up. I wasn’t sure how well the VB80 watch would, as it significantly cheaper than other alternatives. I was pleasantly surprised! Admittedly, initially it took a bit for me to get the hang of setting the alarms. I would now say it’s easy to do. This watch has a low profiles and is only slightly bigger than the band. It’s very comfortable to wear while sleeping. The vibration is very strong and doesn’t easily get shut off, like my Apple Watch. Where I only use this once at night, the battery life lasts over 2 weeks. It also has 12 alarms that can be set. Again, once you get the hang of it, it’s easy to set alarms. I would highly recommend this watch for anyone that needs to get up during the night or early morning for both it’s effectiveness and price.

It works perfectly. It does come with instructions so it’s actually easy to program. The vibration on all of the alarms is very powerful. I am a very deep sleeper and it absolutely wakes me up. A single charge holds for several days and it is very lightweight and comfortable to sleep with (I usually can’t sleep well with watches, but couldn’t even feel this one after having it on for about two minutes). Each alarm will buzz for one full minute until turned off. This is a fantastic product if you’re just looking for a simple device that will wake you up quietly and effectively.

Not worth it. Find something else similar and tey that out. This one sucks. It said the battery is supposed to last 10 days. After a few days, it died, even though the battery life indicator said it was still at 100 the last time I had checked it. Have kept using it, and now I have to charge it every day. Sometimes the buttons will just stop working. Sometimes the time will stay on and not turn off, and the buttons won't work, and the leds are bright with no light level adjustment so its just on and there's nothing you can do about it, there's not even a way to turn the entire watch off. Even though I wear it all day to work, I mostly got this for sleeping and using the alarms to wake me up, so if the led clock won't turn off its very annoying to have bright lights on your wrist in bed. Also, if it decides to randomly die or stop working at night, there goes my alarms. I know this is cheap, so what do you expect? But its such a simple product, i just feel like its poorly designed and made. Looking for something else to replace this, just leaving this review in hopes that it helps others avoid wasting their time and money.

Solid 4 out of 5 stars. I’ll start with the cons, because they’re honestly pretty minor: - because this watch is so basic, it’s a little bit awkward at first to figure out how to set the clock and alarms - the backlight is REALLY bright white; I taped a strip of red paper over it so now it glows a pleasant dull pink instead Now the good things: I got this because my husband started having pretty bad insomnia and other sleep disturbances ~8 months ago, which were causing frequent migraines. We started eliminating everything that could potentially trigger that, and one of the first to go was my phone alarm (since I normally get up earlier than he does, and it was waking him up every morning). I didn’t want to get a smart watch or have to buy something expensive since this was just a trial run, so I got this watch. This thing does exactly what it says it does: tells the time and vibrates when you tell it to vibrate. It’s the perfect bare-bones silent alarm clock. It isn’t uncomfortable to wear to bed, the battery stays charged for months, and it vibrates just strong enough to wake the wearer without disturbing anyone else. I originally got it for that specific purpose but at this point I genuinely prefer it to a ringtone alarm because it’s a much gentler way to wake up.

I have owned this alarm for 9-10 months, and it is completely unreliable. The alarm goes maybe half the time, and if I have more than one alarm set, it’s a toss up as to which one (if any) will go off. This first started happening about 5 months after owning it. I still use the alarm on my phone when I absolutely have a wake time that I can’t gamble on. That said, the vibration, when it works, is strong enough to wake me from even deep sleep. The LED face lights up brighter than the sun, which is less-than-ideal if you’re taking medication and going right back to sleep, but some industrial tape on top of painter’s tape (so I can still easily remove it and replace it when needed) was an easy fix. The battery lasts forever. Because I only use it for 1-2 alarms per night, I think I’ve charged it 3 times in the almost 10 months I’ve had it. The interface, specifically turning alarms on/off, is easy but not intuitive. I’ll be looking for a new, more reliable alarm as it’s become too flaky.

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.

It is simple, it works well at what it is programmed, it has a nice look… unfortunately after about a month of use, I found out that any sweat evaporated into the band messes with the circuitry. As in it involuntarily sets off the buttons. I randomly look at the watch while I’m at work and I see it trying to reprogram the alarm on its own. I got this to be considerate to my roommates in my apartment when I have to get up at random hours for work. It does the job of waking me, but as a normal daily watch it doesn’t hold up to the day to day use (and yes my job requires a watch that isn’t a phone). Just washing hands can get it to go bonkers. Another thing to note is after a month of use, buttons are noticeably at different elevations. Admittingly I am reprogramming my wake alarms fairly often as I don’t have a set work schedule but this seems too fragile. I understand this is probably used to take medicine on regular set intervals (and thus shouldn’t be reprogrammed so often) but I want others giving this watch a look to set reasonable expectations. It hasn’t affected button use yet, but I have my concerns. This seems more a set it once and done, maybe change timing occasionally as you change prescriptions or something. Other than those outlined, the battery is a mystery. It went from 20% to 90% in like 5 mins, but the watch lasts almost 2-3 weeks with occasional use to check time and daily alarms going off. That’s pretty phenomenal. Again watch is simple, and kinda makes sense it doesn’t take as much power. However, this charging time isn’t always consistent. Sometimes I need to charge for at least an hour before it hits 100% I can only wish it was more durable toward moisture. It can be very useful as a day to day but with that vulnerability to moisture, that limits use for those that perspire or washes hands. For a $20 price tag, it’s painful for a daily use but can be vital for very specific things. Unfortunate that my need is for something that can wake me quietly and durable for day to day use.

This alarm has been a great solution for me. I got it specifically to avoid waking up my partner, and it works perfectly for that purpose—the vibration is strong enough to wake me without making any noise. The battery life is impressive, however I typically only use one of the available alarms. It's comfortable to wear and very straightforward overall. Setting the alarms can be a little confusing at first, but once you figure it out, it’s easy to manage. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet, effective way to wake up.

12個アラームが設定できると聞いたが3個しかできない…？ これは他に操作設定があるんですかね？

Great form factor - my fussy teen is happy to wear it. It's NOT a smartwatch, and therefore allowed in class. The multiple alarms on it are perfect for us to turn on/off for a rotating out-of-class activity that changes time each week. She reports the vibration level is "just right" - but not enough to wake her in the morning, and uncomfortable for her to wear overnight. Very happy with this purchase! My only quibble is that (as another reviewer mentioned) it would be great to FIRST see the alarm time, and THEN be able to turn it on or off.

腕時計が振動して時間を教えてくれるので、図書館での勉強や職場で周りの人に気を使うことなくアラームがかかるまで集中できます。 12個も時間設定ができるし、朝の目覚ましにも使ったら毎朝大きな音で慌てることも、また音に気づかなかったということもなくなって快適な目覚めを迎えられるようになりました。
