This watch works great if you want to wake up from sleep without disturbing your partner. I haven't had any problem seeing the display. My only gripe is that it would be great if you could scroll up and down while setting alarms, but this is really a very minor issue. One neat thing about it is that you can associate a time and DATE with an alarm so you can remind yourself to do something in a week. I've been very happy with this product- I've been using it for several months.

I purchased the e-pill MeDose Vibrating Watch - up to 6 Alarms reminders - Unisex design in order to remind me when to eat. I'm hypoglycemic and need to eat every two to three hours in order to keep my blood sugar elevated. My job is very immersive and I have a tendency to lose track of time. I also work in a noisy environment so a silent alarm is a must. For my purposes, it works perfectly, but there are a few features on this product that could use some improvement.

(Another note, I'm 26 and in the music industry where image is extremely important, I cant walk around with a huge robot on my arm designed for the elderly - this watch looks great, and in no way says "medical equipment.")

The first thing you must remember after purchasing this watch is to keep the set up instructions. It comes with an easy to follow 4 page manual that tells you everything you need to know, except that you can switch functions for each alarm. (T1 and T2 mean "type" 1 and 2) If the "T" symbol is next to the symbol of the type of alarm you wish to have, then you are good. This might save you some trial and error.

The Silent alarm feature is very diliberate and noticeable when you are awake, but for those trying to use this to wake from a snooze without disturbing others, it might be a little weak. I have napped through it several times, but I am a pretty heavy sleeper.

The night light is very good (looks like indiglo from timex). 3 seconds is a little short though. I find myself hitting the button a few times to get the info I need. Also the buttons are only labeled A, B, C, and D with no indication of which does what, but that doesn't take more than a day or two to adjust to. What's interesting is when the silent alarm(vibrate) feature is activated, the watch gives haptic feedback (little vibrations)when you hit a button. This can be convenient for set up.

The display is good, especially in conjunction with the nightlight. Along with the time it displays the day of the week as well as the day of the month - great if you are as absent minded as I am. I make regular deposits at banks for my business and this saves me a lot of looking around. The timer functions are excellent as well. You have several types including countdown with silent alarm(great for exercise and cooking - you don't have to keep your eye on the clock or stay near the kitchen timer) and a stopwatch function.

I recommend this product for anyone who has a tendency to get a little too involved in life to take care of themselves. I know it has helped me develop and maintain healthier habits. All in all a really good product.

Overall, the watch has good "vibration" function. It helps a lot when doing "public speaking" and knowing when it's time to stop. The one drawback to the watch is that the display is hard to see unless you're looking at it straight on. So, for day to day purposes, sometimes it's frustrating, because you really have to turn your wrist at a sharp angle to see the time.

This was my 2nd e-pill MeDose watch, both of which worked fine, are reliable and helpful. A bit of advice, however: Have a jeweler replace the battery when the battery needs replacing. Would recommend that the mnanufacturer modify the watch so that the owner of same could replace the battery with relative ease. And, I didn't care much for the plastic band that comes with the watch and I replaced it with an expansion band. Notwithstanding these two problems, I would buy the e-pill MeDose again - as you can see I did.

I got this watch thinking it would be great for me to travel overseas and use as a pill reminder. The watch is like a man's watch. I could barely feel the vibration on my wrist and I am very sensitive to the touch. The audible alarm is no louder than my current women's Timex Expedition which is definitely much more attractive. I don't look forward to spending the time and money to ship it back. I suppose for some, it works in some situations.

The alarms in the watch are great. I use the vibration mode and it gets my attention every time. My only suggetion would be to offer it with a velcro type of band in additon to the buckle type.

The watch is very easy to set and the vibration is easily felt. My husband takes medication 4 times a day, and this watch quitely reminds him of the time without interrupting classes/the movies. It's not the pretiest watch, but it's better looking that the other multiple alarm watches in this price range.

This watch has allowed me to be prompt with my six times a day pill taking. This compliance helps me stay "steady" all day. In the past I either forgot or was late or couldn't remember if I had taken my meds. I am really pleased with the watch that vibrates on my wrist and doesn't announce to the rest of the world that it is "time to take your pill."
By the way, it also tells me the day of the week and month--very useful when retired!

The watch is easy to set, however, the alarm is not loud enough. The vibrate mode works but is not strong or long enough to wake me during the wee hours of the morning. It is great for during the day as I'm not a clock watcher.

alarms work well BUT: can't read dial unless viewed at 90º and leather band buckle is already useless, must replace band after a month's use.
