VB150 Vibration Alarm Watch - 15 Vibrating Alarms with Countdown Timer

This is the second watch them up for my daughter and it’s impossible to program. I thought watch is like this before and they were so much easier this one is so difficult doesn’t make any sense I don’t suggest buying this

This works well for me. It stays on my wrist, easy to read, dependable, and I like the look. It was easy to program; I watched the videos and they helped me learn how to do it. Easy once I saw how. It helps to keep me on track. I'm back to buy one for my niece. Not sure why my first review of this eSeasonGear VB150 Vibration Alarm Watch never showed up, so I'm trying again.

This simple unobtrusive timer with strong vibration is just what I need. It charges quickly (less than 30 min) for whole day use (if you minimize the alarms or count down timers, you could probably use it for two days). If you set to not light up during wrist raise, it is really stealth, but the strong vibration works perfectly. It is a perfect complement to other fancy smart watch with anemic vibration alarms. I like it, but reading some of the reviews/feedback of issues makes me want to see how it works after longer use time.

I purchased this watch to experiment with the vibration alarms. There are very few watches that can be set to vibrate multiple times a day and are not sold as medical devices. I also appreciated the product's unobtrusive design: the narrow band and seamless face resemble a fitness tracker. The body needs to be removed from the band for charging - I did not use the product long enough to assess the battery life. Though the product photos suggest otherwise, a button needs to be pressed to illuminate the time display so it cannot be checked with just a glance. As many other reviewers have noted, the alarms are very difficult to program. I expected a convoluted procedure, and got one. Though the enclosed instruction booklet is clearer than the seller's website, I still wasted considerable time working out how the alarms need to be turned on *before* their times can be set. Even the seller makes mistakes with this in their demo videos. I was still unprepared for the amount of force needed to work the buttons. Setting each alarm requires depressions lasting 3 seconds or more, which compounds the difficulty of programming even further. It took me 30 minutes to set all 15 alarms for the first time, and my fingers felt like they had been slammed in a car door by the time I was done. Once set up, the alarms work well enough. Each alarm produces at least 20 seconds of vigorous vibration. The vibrations are audible, however, so buyers like me who are seeking a totally silent alarm function will be disappointed. I would still suggest this product to customers who require obtrusive vibrating alarms and can manage the difficulty of the programming process. In my case, however, an inexpensive digital watch with an hourly chime function is more practical.

The clasp is such a terrible design. Fell off within a week. Great product, 1 fatal flaw.

For the money, can't be beat. I actually found it very easy to program unlike some other reviews. Also worked amazing as a watch. I didn't get a chance to use the continuous alarm though...because after 2 days of wearing it - the little know that held the watch on my wrist would loosen by itself and the watch would fall off. I am fairly hands on during the day (2 young kids, plus all the house tasks, plus animals in the house) but nothing INSANE like gymnastics or yoga. I am actually sad because even my 3 year old complimented me on my watch along with my friends, despite the fact it was a plain black and not her favorite rainbow. It was sleek, light, comfortable, and I finally knew the time. If I was using the continuous alarm function more, I would see if I could switch the band. As it is, I decided to return it and continue on the search. If you have a desk job or don't unpack and repack a million dishwasher cycles a day, this is a perfect watch/alarm.

I occasionally try devices like this well aware that they could turn out to be a gimmick in practice. Boy was I wrong. I seriously under-estimated the value of having an hourly alarm which you cannot accidentally "walk away from" (e.g. one on your computer). Also it is super useful that it is quite because it makes it easier to justify leaving it on all the time. Basically it is like having the big-ben on your wrist, you never loose track of time & no one is yelling at you for making noise lol. Only downside I can think of is that it requires charging somewhat regularly like the rest of your devices (e.g. your phone). But IMO the benefits far outweigh that cost & I couldn't find a better device with these vibrate alarm things on amazon.

We have been using this watch to help our kiddo remember to use the bathroom and it has been working great. I will say that if it gets wet at all, it will stop working. The best workaround we found is to wrap the removable watch part in something waterproof to keep the water out. We have been using a cut off rubber glove finger, and it has stayed dry for weeks now and you can still see the numbers. I would bet that finger cots would also work well. For those having trouble with the buttons needing to be pressed firmly, I recommend programming it while it’s sitting on a solid surface, not while it is on your wrist or in your hands.
