Why use a vibrating reminder watch?
Vibrating watches can help you with frequent reminders to use the restroom or perform other important activities on a regular schedule, and lessen the chance of embarrassing accidents. We feature several watches that work well for these needs. The Vibro-Watch, WobL, VibraLITE 3, and MeDose all can be set to vibrate at the prescribed time, as well as tell time and give the date.
What should you consider in vibratory watches?
Auto-Restart Countdown - alerts repeatedly at preset intervals, then automatically resets. Interval must be the same all day. The Vibro-Watch, Timex, WobL and VibraLITE can be set at intervals from 1 minute to 23 hours, the MeDose can be set for 1 minute to 99 minutes.
Independently Set Alarms - allow you to set independent alert times per day, providing flexibility for times other than exact intervals. Easy to coordinate with school/ work schedules. Vibro-Watch allows you to set up to 12 reminders a day, MeDose and WobL 6 times a day.
Length of Vibration - Vibro-Watch, Medose and VibraLITE3 vibrate for about 20 seconds, while the WobL vibrates for about 6 seconds at each pre-set time. Longer vibration is harder to ignore.
Battery - battery life of 1 to 6 months depending upon the frequency of alarms. Vibro-Watch has easy-open battery compartment, others require jeweler assistance.

Do vibrating watches look different than other watches?
Other children or adults would not know that this watch has a special purpose. The watch face is a little larger and thicker than other children’s watches. This is necessary to house the larger battery necessary for vibration. Watch face is 1.5”on all but WobL watch. Factory provided band can be replaced with smaller or personalized watch band.
Do you have any other reminder devices?
The Invisible Clock is a small discreet vibratory alert device that can be clipped onto the belt or slipped into a pocket. This is ideal for those who will not wear a watch.
The less expensive Timex watches provide a beeping alarm, which can be easy to ignore in a noisy environment and may not be acceptable in a classroom setting.
WatchMinder2 is a large adult watch with text reminders and up to 30 daily alarms.
