Cadex 12 Alarm Watch, January 7, 2009
This review is from: The e pill Cadex 12 Alarm Medication Reminder Watch Black (Health and Beauty)
The Cadex 12 alarm watch does all that it claims and is a good watch for the price. Be sure to shop around: paying more than $59 for this watch is not worth the price.
Unfortunately, there are two functions I failed to look for, which are critical for my lifestyle! This watch has NO BACKLIGHT function and no actual TIMER. For a watch that has 12 alarms, it is likely to be dark at some point. So to not have any light functions was a big drawback for the money. Also, if you use timer functions frequently, setting an alarm is cumbersome if you simply wish to time an activity on occasions - then clear it.
Also, everywhere online I looked, it is only available in black. Although there is a purple version shown on some websites, it doesn't seem to be available.
This watch seems to be aimed at an elderly target audience, but I am using the watch to make critical life changes and need reminders when to wake, retire, exercise, meds and eat snacks and meals. I am a night person who is transitioning to days and the watch does help me be more on my new schedule.
The text function is pretty cool - you can type in anything that applies to your need for an alarm. So this doesn't have to be JUST a medical watch. It could also be used for meetings, appointments, daily program reminders. Even the info fields could hold non-medical info you might need or want.

Awesome watch, November 4, 2007

My mother-in-law has Parkinsons and this watch works great for her. It reminds her when and what medication to take and also will store all her medications and doctors in the watch. Thanks!

Just what I was looking for and hoping for., February 11, 2011
This review is from: The e pill Cadex 12 Alarm Medication Reminder Watch Black (Health and Beauty)
Not bulky and very light.
Extremely Easy to Program.
Has the feel of a quality watch.
The buttons respond instantly.
The screen is clear and the letters and numbers are easy to see.
The alarm is loud enough for anyone without a hearing problem.
The only draw-back is that the screen does not have a light;
therefore, you will not be able to read the alarm message in the dark.
But I still give it a 5 because I was not going to let a "LIGHT" problem keep me from conveying what I feel about this nicely crafter product.
