VibraLITE 8 - Vibrating Reminder Watch

I thought that I reviewed this product already, but even if I did, it is worth a second very positive review. I have Parkinson's DIsease, and it is very important that I take my medications at the right times! Otherwise, I have difficulty coordinating my movement as well as tremors and several other symptoms. The watch has 12 alarms which can ring, vibrate or both. I use the vibrating mode. I use eight of the twelve alarms because that's how many times a day that I take the medications. I am beginning to lose some of my hearing, and I sometimes did not hear the audible alarm on my previous watch. There is no overlooking this watch's vibration! Thanks to everyone involved in bringing this watch to the marketplace.

This watch vibrates significantly, enough to wake me from a deep sleep. This is what I wanted and was happy it filled the bill. It also has a nice easy to read face. The only downside I encountered is the silicone bank which can be switched out for a medal band. This becomes irritating if I have it on too long.

Excellent watch. Got it for my mother who had a mild stroke 5 months ago. Now has several medication to take daily. Prior to stroke took zero medications so it's been a challenge to get her into the habit. It was important to make her responsible for taking her meds at the right times throughout the day. The watch has the day of the week(easy for her to match up with her pill cases) and multiple alarm options. We set 6 alarms throughout the day for her meds. The watch buzzes and vibrates at the same time. It also turns the alarm off on its own so mom doesn't have to find a button to shut alarm off. Large numbers on face so great for seniors. Would highly recommend for seniors.

Returned the watch. The main problem was that it did not maintain correct time -- ran too slowly. Also, it was a pain to make any of the settings, so the prospect of having to reset the correct time multiple times each week was not acceptable. All 8 alarms did work, including vibration, though. The customer support rep was very friendly; said there was no way to adjust the watch to speed it up or slow it down -- we could try replacing the battery, but she explained that the process for doing that was a bit involved, due to the sensitive placement of the wires within the case that were associated with the vibrating alarms -- said they would be happy to talk us through the process over the phone if we wished -- or we could mail it to them and for $18 they would do it -- but in any approach, a new battery might not correct the timekeeping. Too much trouble, and no guarantee it would work, and if it did work, how long it would last.

I bought this watch for my husband, because of how much I liked the Vibralite 12 mini. Unfortunately, there are some differences to this model which make it much less suited to our needs. Firstly, the vibration is loud - I can hear it go off in the morning while lying next to my husband. The whole purpose of this was for him to be able to get up early for work without disturbing me. The other thing that's disappointing, is that unlike the Vibralite 12 mini, there is no "lock-out" feature - which means you can accidentally press buttons without realising it. The Vibralite 12 mini , which I have, has a strong enough vibration to wake me up, but it is not audible to another person in the room. I have been considering buying the 12 mini for my husband now, but I'm not sure that the wrist strap will fit around a man's wrist. It's disappointing that all the models don't have all the same, important features in common.

I need a timer to reminder me to take break at time frequency I want. I did a lot of research and picked this one. There were a review mentioned concern about it's quality, I still went ahead order it with warrantee(couldn't find a better alternative). Thinking if it works for a 1-2 years it's worth it.Pros: large display initially, timer vibrates in expected time and quietly. Only I know it ran off, people sit near me won't know. (That's what I need) Easy to use Timer can set to repeat mode and keep run off after each selected amount time reached Timer you can set minute, second or hour, pretty flexible Did not use of the 8 alarms, so far people need that many alarm its probably good Time function, didn't pay attention, too many device can have this function.Cons: . To my surprise, the timer function stopped working after using it 3 times just in the office. I paid over $50..not sure why they charge so much money still produce such unacceptable quality product. Wasting mytime to buy it, learn to use it and return it. . the watch is too large and heavier than regular watchWish/Suggestion: . make the timer quality good enough that its lasts longer and worth that money. . support multiple timer besides multiple alarms.

We needed a vibrate-only reminder for medicine with at least 6 separate alarms. This VibraLITE 8 was the answer. It works well as both a watch and multi-time alarm, it is comfortable, and generally easy to read. Our only complaint is that the am/pm indication has so little kerning that it was essentially unreadable. At first, I switched to 24-hour time to get rid of the ambiguity but later learned to recognize the minute difference in the 12-hour mode. The watch has now served my wife well for about a week. That short a test does not answer questions about durability, but on functionality as both a digital watch and 8-alarm time piece, we are more than satisfied.

I purchased this for my elderly live in father in law to help remind himself to take his medications (to try to gain some independence). Setting the alarms was easy, and I liked that I could set up to eight of them. However, the low volume of the beeps and the gentle vibration isn't enough to catch his attention and/or wake him as a reminder. It's such a great concept, I just wish there were controls for sensitivity and volume. Unfortunately, doesn't work for our situation.

I bought this before going on a quiet retreat. I have to rest at regular intervals during the day for specified times and I didn't want to disturb others. So the silent vibration alert was excellent. It is a great tool for reminders without others knowing. There are 8 alarms plus timer, stopwatch, normal digital clock and various options you can switch on and off - such as automatic hourly reminders, vibration alert and warnings that the timer is coming to the end of its counting.Reminders for doing physio exercises, taking medication, going to appointments or bedtime are other applications I've used this watch for.I found it took a while (and a few unrepeatable words) to remember how to programme the watch but I've had it about 3 weeks now and don't have any more problems. The quick start guide was useful to just get a few things sorted, then the more detailed guide came into its own. I think I would have been too bemused to even try if I had to use only the detailed guide!The watch seemed quite bulky at first for this female used to dainty watches, but it's much easier to wear than a mobile phone when you have no pockets! I've got used to it now and wouldn't want to be without it.One niggle - I wish the backlight would come on automatically and stay on whilst you press the buttons instead of having always to press the light button separately.Another major plus point in my opinion - you can set the date to show either US or UK style - MM/DD or DD/MM - saves much confusion in my already addled brain!

Pro:Has a countdown timer, multiple alarms, big screenDoes have a vibration alarm which can be used on its own or combined with soundCon:The watch strap is not comfortableButton names do not always fit the button functionSetting the alarms is confusing and takes a long timeTurning the sound and vibration on and off means remembering the manual instructionsManual is long and tedious, with few picturesWhen the sound is turned on, pressing buttons also makes a sound, not just when the alarm goes offIt is extremely loud, which is fine for an alarm, but not ok for a button pressThe intensity of the vibration and the volume of the sound cannot be changedOnly one alarm soundThe sound and vibration going off every time I press a button is biggest annoyance for me, as the sound is very unpleasant and loud. I have a small wrist and for me this watch is too big and the strap does not flex enough to be comfortable. I also had problems with the countdown timer not going off at the right time, though this was probably a fault with the watch I received.

Great

I brought this watch for the nursery staff to use when looking after my son who is aged 3 with type 1 diabetes. The staff love it. They have set the multiple alarms to help them to remember to check his blood sugars and also to remind them to administer his insulin.

Bought for my Father to remind him to take his medication.Works well.

I need to take medications at specific intervals. Being absent-minded, I need a reminder. As I am also hard of hearing, an audible alarm does not work for me. So, I use the Timer Mode several times every day. Works great for me. I also appreciate the large display of the time. A lot of watches put three lines of data on the display with the result that the most important datum (time) is hard to see.

This watch worked great for about two weeks and then it would randomly restart. I would lose the current time and all the alarm times. I stopped using it, out of frustration, a while ago.I decided to give it one more try tonight but whatever was wrong with the watch has only gotten worse. Whenever I tried to set the watch it automatically resets and then shows a number that I can only assume is an error code. I took pictures of my most recent attempt to show what happens to the screen and hopefully catch the error code. I have attached them. Unfortunately, in this last attempt the watch went crazy, showed some strange characters and then the screen went blank, except for a small line at the top of the screen. I went on the manufacturer’s website and got directions on how to reboot the watch but that didnt work.Kind of disappointing.

Die Uhr ist sehr gut. Leider ist das Armband meiner Meinung nach ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit. Habe deswegen schon die 2. Uhr. Starr, man schwitzt drunter, einfach unmöglich. Als das erste kaputt war, habe ich mir ein flexibles drangebastelt. Ging gut als Lösung für den Urlaub, wenn es einem egal ist, dass es nicht so toll aussieht. Leider habe ich noch keine alternative gefunden, die genauso gut funktioniert.

Bought it for the number of alarms on it. Works well for my husband !

Ich habe die Uhr für meine Mutter gekauft, die an Parkinson leidet und Ihre Medikamente zu festen Uhrzeiten einzunehmen hat. Das Funktioniert gut, Nachteilig ist, dass meine über 80 Jährige Mutter das Ding nicht alleine einstellen kann, dass die Batterien schnell hinüber sind und bei schwacher Batterie die Einstellungen verloren gehen. Insgesamt kompliziert und fummelig einzustellen. Was Besseres habe ich aber bislang nicht gefunden ...

Mein Vater hat lang nach einer Uhr gesucht welche folgende Voraussetzungen erfüllt:1. starke Vibration2. sehr lautes Klingeln3. mehrfach programmierbarer Alarm (Medikamenteneinnahme)Diese Voraussetzungen werden uneingeschränkt erfüllt.Vom Service kann man nur begeistert sein!!! Da mein Vater nicht in der Lage war die Uhr selbst zu programmieren (sehr hohes Lebensalter + keine Affinität zu moderner Technik + ich wohne woanders) hat er die in der Beschreibung angegebene Telefonnummer angerufen. Er wurde von einem Mitarbeiter der Firma Vibralite zurück gerufen und Schritt für Schritt und mit viel Geduld durch das Menü geführt. Zusatzkosten wurden nicht erhoben.Vielen Dank!!!Zur Haltbarkeit der Batterie kann ich noch keine Aussagen treffen, da es sich um eine Neuanschaffung handelt. Bei dem Preis kann man, denke ich, nicht viel verkehrt machen.

Die Uhr erfüllt voll meine Ansprüche an eine Weckuhr. Sie arbeitet genau und Ton und Vibration sind deutlich aber nicht zu aufdringlich. Wer also regelmäßig Medikamente einnehmen muß oder andere regelmäßige Erinnerungen benötigt, ist mit dieser Uhr gut bedient. Das Armband könnte flexibler sein. Nach einer Reklamation wurde mir schnell und zufriedenstellend , von der Firma Ohrenwelt geholfen.

alles o.k., funktioniert tadellos, Als Geschenk für solche Kranke ideal geeignet. Sollte etwas preiswerter sein., erfreut den Beschenkten immer noch.

.Die Funktionen der Uhr entsprechen voll meinen Erwartungen. Diese Uhr ist für alle diejenigen, die auf einen genauen Zeitpunkt der Medikamenteneinnahme achten müssen, sehr hilfreich.
