Product Description
The VibraLITE 8 vibrating watch provides a great silent reminder. This new option in vibrating watches provides 8 independent alarms for users that need flexible reminders. It also features an auto restart countdown mode that vibrates at any time interval you choose (e.g., every two hours). The watch vibrates for approximately 20 seconds, then automatically resets itself to count down again. Pause the countdown timer when a reminder is not needed, and restart it wit… More >>
I bought this watch to wake me up in the morning, due to my hearing impairment. It does the job for that, unless I was really tired and then, I’d not feel the vibration.
I didn’t buy the watch for its looks, in which it ain’t pretty. The display is somewhat coarse (not high resolution), but it’s functional. I don’t wear watches, except to sleep with for the wakeup call, so it doesn’t matter.
If you want a vibrating watch for a wakeup, and not a heavy sleeper, this should work for you.

I’m a fan of this watch! I needed a watch to wake me up without also waking up my wife, and this watch works great. It’s simple to program and the display is clear and not too busy. And the vibration works very well. No snooze button
, but with 8 alarms, I’ve programmed 3 alarms in a row, one minute in between, to help me get up.
I had originally bought a Timex watch with a vibrating feature because it was half the price and it was rated 4.5 stars on Amazon, but I promptly returned it because the vibrating feature was weak and difficult to access and did not meet my requirements like this watch does.
As an added bonus, as I played with the features (still haven’t read the instructions), I discovered the countdown timer that I now use for working out and for other activities. So when I’m listening to music and exercising, the vibrating alarm gives me interval countdowns, laps, etc. This is an added nice feature that’s especially useful for circuit workouts, running, or whatever, so that you don’t have to look down at your watch to check your times.
My only complaint is that the watch band is a little too stiff for me. But the band appears easily replaceable like any other watch band.

This is the vibration watch to get if you are in need of vibration watch!
If you mediate or do other mind awareness exercises this is perfect.
I’ve had this watch 9 months and have had to change battery 2 or 3 times, but I use the vibrate mode a lot. Be careful when opening it and make sure the white square patch on inside cover is placed back on in the right direction (or it won’t vibrate), if you make a mistake just open it and reverse the direction on cover. The first time I changed it I thought I broke it because it wouldn’t vibrate, I did panic, but very calmly opened it up again and couldn’t see any problems, but since I bought 2 of them, I opened the other one and saw the white patch on inside cover was in upper part of watch, I then fixed the other one by just reversing the cover.
Hopefully this will save someone else some “panic” if they change battery and they don’t get the vibration mode to work.
If you are gonna use this watch to wake you up, it might work or not, but, you can set up 8 backup alarms, to go off at 7:00, 7:02, 7: 03, 7:04, so your wrist will be vibrating so much I’m sure one of them will wake you!
It takes some conditioning to get use to placing your awareness on your wrist especially if you are in the middle of other activities in middle of day, but with time it becomes a “conditioned response”.

The VibraLITE 8 is a great buy! Only 4 simple buttons, easy to program, and pretty much set-and-forget! The large face and available button for a soft blue backlight make it easy to read at night. The vibrating feature is strong, but not harsh. I gently wake out of a sound sleep without disturbing my wife. The design is very smooth and does not catch in the linens when I turn at night. May be a little large for persons not liking a large watch face, but personally I would not change a feature. It is great!

I use this as a constant meditation reminder for mindfulness and habit improvement all day every 5 minutes. It’s a unique product that serves this purpose well. I have not explored the possibility of 8 alarms yet!Normally, I cannot wear a watch without some irritation to my wrist and have had no problems with this one.I was surprised that the alarm mode (vibrate and/or sound) cannot be set separately for each alarm or even for alarm versus (reminder) timer. One other small negative is that itis difficult to tell AM from PM because the print is so small.Overall, a great watch.
