Product Description

This watch is an excellent device for delivering a discrete reminder. The repeating countdown alarm allows reminders to be delivered at any interval e.g. every 15 min 2 hours ect. A popular use is to set the countdown reminder for every 2 minutes during mediation and change the reminder to an hour for reminders to take long deep breaths throughout the day. The watch also comes with 8 alarms that can be set throughout the day. It is durable and easy to configure.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent vibration watch, May 8, 2009

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".

p.s. to change battery, you need very small screwdriver, 4 tiny screws on back plate, take it off, and battery is held in place by latch cover, so very gently pry off 1 side of latch, out and up, using screwdriver, put in new battery, reattach battery cover, by attaching the battery latch back in place, then put back plate on in the same direction as you took it off. If you get no vibration, then you put the back plate on 180 degree's the wrong direction, just reverse the direction and you are good to go. Buy 10-20-30 batteries generic very, very cheap like I did, so it's like 25 cents a battery! :)

update: 11 11 2011
On 2 of these watches the corner broke off so watch band no longer would work. Also, some of the lcd numbers don't show any more. I sent one back to company and for 39 dollars they sent a new watch.
I have now switched to timex explorer vibration watch , for 29 dollars , back in 2008 , the vibralite 8 was the vibration watch to get because timex and other companies didn't make them back then. The timex has countdown repeat timer, hydro repeat timer, stopwatch, 3 alarms , and 15 occasions reminders. So it's 1/2 the price of this vibralite 8 and it's a timex (a known watch company). Also, it's waterproof down to 300 feet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Watch Especially for Reminders, April 2, 2008

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.

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!
