Great For Hearing Loss
As a hard of hearing person, I don't always hear my phone alarm, even if it vibrates, and especially if it's in another room. I got this watch to have a vibrating alarm on me that I don't need to hear. It's more discreet (and less annoying to others) for reminding me to take my medication. I also use it not so much as an alarm, but just a reminder to get up and get moving in the morning, instead of lounging in bed too long.Some commenters said that the vibration was too much or too little. I've ordered a few of these now (different colors) and in my experience, they each have their own vibration strength. If you don't like the strength, try another one. If I want it to wake me up as an alarm, I put it under my pillow, which makes it much more noticeable. If it's REALLY important that I wake up on time, then I set some back up alarms just in case. But for day to day use, it's great!Check the company's web site for more instructions on how to see the date, miles, steps, etc. The instruction book that the watch came with did not explain all the features.My only complaint is that I wish it came in more colors. I didn't love the ones available so I just stuck with black.

Don't buy.
Has a non-existent website for instructions, the basic instructions offered are wrong. Would be a neat item if it was functional.

Repeat customer.
I like this little countdown timer wrist band. Many reviewers say it's too complicated. Seems like I had to consult the owner's manual the first few times I used it but once you catch on it not complicated at all. I've been very happy with this product. The first one wore out after 3 years use so this is my second one. I spent 4 times more money on a different brand and it only lasted 6 months.

Value vibrating watch that's excruciating to set up
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.

Definitely not waterproof
I really appreciate the simplicity of this watch. Just wanted something small and minimalist that tells time without other bells and whistles like hr monitor, pedometer, or Bluetooth and an app. Actually appreciated that it has alarms and tells you the date. The product is advertised as not waterproof and that's a real bummer as I fried mine giving my toddler a bath. This would be a great product if it had even the barest minimum of water resistance which other watches with similar designs have. Not trying to go diving with this thing but can't see myself spending $20 Everytime I forget to take it off before doing dishes or bathing my child.

Works well but not waterproof without modifications
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.

Worst Purchase Ever
I bought 2 of these watches one for each of my daughters. Neither one works. They only have 1 button that can be pressed so you can't set the time or alarms. It's sad that companies get away with ripping people off like this. 1/10 I do not recommend this product!

EXCELLENT
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.
