Product Description
The Vibro-Watch multi-alarm vibrating reminder can be set to alarm up to 12 specific times per day or set to provide reminders at fixed intervals (e.g. every 2 hours). The attractive watch has a discreet vibrating alarm for quietly reminding children – or adults. The 12 alarm function provides flexibility in setting alarms at times other than fixed intervals when you need reminders at specific times throughout the day (e.g., 8:35am, 10:15am, 12:10pm, 1:45pm, 3:30pm … More >>
We bought this for our 4 year old daughter and after the first few months the watch was ruined. Apparently she got it wet when washing her hands and it quit working.
She always complained that it was too conspicuous on her little arm, too. She was not crazy about timed voiding in the first place and the aesthetics of the watch was no incentive for her.
It was fairly cumbersome to set, as well…not too difficult for me but I’m fairly technical…I can see where it may be an issue for those who may not have patience for such matters.
While the vibration does seem to be a stronger/better reminder to use the potty, we will be replacing this watch with a MUCH less expensive, readily available digital watch with simple audible alarms.

great for timed voiding. a little time consuming to program, and the battery does not last that long. Huge complaint is that it is not waterproof, just water resistant. I have purchased 4 to date due to water ruining the watch, just from hand washing…(and it is a bathroom reminder, right??)

We ordered the watch this summer and it worked great for a couple of days. It appeared that the battery had died, so I replaced the battery. As the other reviewer noted, it was not easy to pop the battery cover off. After replacing the battery the watch was still dead. I finally got around to calling “The Bedwetting Store” to find out about warranty replacement. Turns out you need to clear the memory by holding all four buttons. We’re anxious to try again, when it was working, it seemed to help our son (he’s six now) void and stay nominally dry. There may be other issues, but that’s why we got the watch in the first place. Some other notes, I looked high and low for a watch that has a lock out and is water proof, no luck. One would think that a watch specifically sold to aid a child would be water proof and have a lock out. The first watch we tried, the VibraLITE 3, was far too easy for a child to mess with the settings by simply pressing the various buttons, what child would not want to press the buttons. BTW, “The Bedwetting Store” does have very knowledgeable staff and were very helpful. Silly me for waiting so long to call. I’ll try to post a follow-up after a couple of weeks to report how long the battery lasts and how the watch holds up.

We bought this watch for our son and could not get it to work from the get-go. There is a reset button inside, which we reached only after a great deal of work to open the battery compartment, which was stuck tight. I set the alarms, and the watch worked for a day. I reset it again, reset the alarms, and by the end of the day the time was off by hours. A promising idea, but poor quality in this case.

The Vibro-watch provided a great tool for our child’s timed voiding program. We set it with the countdown timer to go off every hour and a half during the summer while our daughter wasn’t in school. Then when she went back to school, we set the 12 specific time alarms so that she didn’t have to get up in the middle of class. Our daughter was successful, thanks to the Vibro-watch.
