This is absolutely awesome! You can adjust the shock intensity, vibration and sound intensity. I personally tested every level up to 100. It almost feels like something bites you and it stings but your still okay. I keep my vibration at 50 and my shock intensity at 75%. You get a beep sound then you have to grab your phone and do whatever option you chose, whether it be a puzzle, scanning a QR code or jumping Jack's. I keep mine on puzzle lock and it will get your mind focused to figure the puzzle out or you get shocked again lol oh and I just realized today it also comes with a strapless lock, thats what the little purple thing is. I also ordered a magnetic silicone watch band from Pavlok so I can adjust it faster and more comfortable when sleeping. Now the app itself is great but the watch does unfair constantly, so right at bedtime I always open the app and make sure its paired and leave the app open and then just lock my phone, and it stays paired this way throughout the night. Overall this has been great and its waking me up on time and I can see overtime eventually im gonna wake up before it shocks me so I can avoid being shocked. This is 100% worth it, I have tried all kinds of methods from vibration bands, those loud shaking alarm clocks, but many other things and I always either sleep through it or just shut it off. And I may need to go back to the original band as that one is harder to take off when half asleep lol Read more
This product works amazing for me. I have tried many things in the past (alarms every 5 minutes, runaway alarms, sunrise /SAD alarms, puzzle alarms, loud radio, traditional bells, etc..) and nothing has every consistently worked for me. I can sleep through all of that. This worked for me because auditory and visual stimulation don't wake me up, but physical movement does. I found out about the type that shakes the bed, but I share a bed and didn't want to disturb my partner with the bed shaking. The band wasn't comfortable at all, so I got a replacement band and it works great. It's definitely heavy on my wrist, so that's something I just try to deal with (it's worth knowing that I'll wake up on time). There is a feature that checks using your movement to see when you are in a light sleep starting about 30 minutes before your alarm is set for. This feature has been super helpful because when it wakes me up, I'm not too groggy to stay awake usually. I also like that you can set the alarm to start with buzzing, then a beeping, then go to the shock feature. I typically wake up enough to start turning off the alarm before it gets to the shock feature, and usually before the beeping starts. My partner is never woken up by the buzzing, but the beeping does sometimes wake them up, depending on how loud I set it. I like that you can adjust and test beforehand how much of a shock it gives so it isn't too much, just enough to annoy you awake (or more if you need that). The shock feels a bit like a tens unit (for muscle pain relief), and I didn't feel anything until it got to 50% shock. The alarms are easy to make and have lots of helpful features [shock when pressing snooze, getting more annoying when ignored, doing jumping jacks, you can print off a qr code and put it somewhere in your house to scan, do various math puzzles, etc.]. The app is kind of slow sometimes. For instance - when I go to turn off an alarm, it takes a second to load the screen, but the alarm continues on my wrist. It will also take a few seconds at least to allow you to do anything else on the app right after dismissing an alarm (possibly to keep you awake). Overall, the best alarm I've ever had. I am no longer afraid to try to sleep on nights that I have to get up early or by a very specific time, because I know my alarms will actually wake me up. Read more
This product is perfect for heavy sleepers! I usually sleep past alarms or snooze my alarms for some extra sleep. This product is perfect for those scenarios! It has different functions of helping you wake up. The shock is great! You can set the intensity so that it doesn't hurt but at least brings some discomfort. It also beeps and buzzes, which I have set to do before the shock as a warning! For turning off the alarm, you can set different rules like doing jumping jacks, scanning a QR code or even solving a little brain puzzle to turn it off before or after it shocks! Unfortunately, I am removing a star because the in app camera stopped working when I kept trying to set it up with a QR code. I had to reset the app and device to use the puzzle method instead. Otherwise, this is a great product overall! Read more
