Only watch with these functions - timer count down resets
It’s hard to find a watch that can do timer count downs that reset automatically. I have it so every 15 minutes the silent alarm goes off. This helps me make sure im not distracted. Adhd, social media etc, just keeps me aware of time passing and be more productive.The timer can be set to go off between certain times so I have it from 8 to 6pm. And that’s the cool thing, it’s a set it and forget it setup.This featured is way undersold. It’s amazing for being more productive or for folks w adhd.Others mentioned waterproof. I shower w it and no issues. Haven’t gone to the pool.It’s been a several months and still working fine.Now for some negative stuff; there is no way to activate the count down timer alarm without also enabling the 8 alarms. In other words, I have to setup all the 8 alarms if I want to timer alarm. So I have the silent alarm every 15 min and then some random 8 alarms during the day. Not a big issue if the alarms coincide with the timer.The other thing is the length of the silent alarm. I wish it could be shorter or customizable. It’s a little too long now. I have to press the stop bottom to stop when maybe it should just buzz a couple of times. Even better to time it longer for the hour but shorter for every 15 min.I though the price was a little high for what it is but seeing as there’s no other watch that can do this I think it’s well worth it at the end. There’s one other watch that does this but looks a lot more flimsy.The other minor thing is that the light button also beeps.So overall some further customization on certain alarm parameters would make it a Knockout but in general it’s very good.Definitely recommendable.

Non-verifiable alarms -- until they don't go off.I'm an elderly medication taker, and would never recommend this for any critical use. Instructions are poorly organized, and are basically 'try this.' Poor design, with different usages of the same control buttons under different circumstance.

Great Vibrating and Alarm Watch!
I have bought 2 of these and I love them! I purchased about 6 vibrating watches and saved this one! It works great and like all watches, got to understand the directions and all the things it can do, but this one is pretty easy to follow. I liked this one the best because it has 8 alarms you can program And you can have it just Vibrate, or make a sound OR do both. It is a big watch with a big face, but I am a women with a small wrist but I must say, it fits perfectly. The face does cover one side of my wrist, but honestly, it fits, stays in place and is comfortable. I also like the display. It is big and easy to read. I starting noticing all the other watches faces, were just too small, and too hard to read where the alarm was and which alarm I had set. I use all 8 alarms and can set some and not set others - it really is pretty cool! I bought the black and the blue. The only thing that I wish, is that the blue band was the color it shows online. It is actually like a navy color, not the lighter color it shows - and both faces are black. Highly recommend!

Good alarms but not waterproof!!!!!
I Purchased this watch to help me keep track of my medical schedule more effectively. My previous watch I could not hear the alarms. I really like the vibrating alarm option on all of the alarms. Do you have the choice of both sound and vibration or just sound or just vibration. The reason I don’t give this watch five stars is that the description is defective. The watch is not waterproof!!!!!! It is only water resistant. I would prefer spending a couple dollars more and having it waterproof do you at least a shallow degree. It would be handy for having the watch on and being able to do activities involving water such as doing the dishes etc. that is the biggest complaint I have. Other than that I’m very happy with the watch. I looked again on Amazon and did find a Casio that does have waterproof to a higher degree compared to this watch for only one vibrating alarm.

Works great and reasonably priced.
Having trying this device for several days, I would highly recommend it for the hearing impaired or deep sleepers.

Watch face is too dark to read easily; Weekday symbols are way too tiny to make out.
I was attracted to try this watch for the advantage of 8 alarms including vibrating alarms. But even before I got to try the good stuff, I found that the basic ease in reading the watch face itself was a big problem. The watch face is too dark and the time numerals do not stand out enough, making it difficult to just read the time with a normal glance. A 2nd problem was that the weekday symbols on the face are extremely tiny and take really extraordinary effort to identify the day. I'm returning the watch because these items are too basic to ignore, regardless of the bells and whistles included in the watch(which I did not try).

Needs some improvement.
My husband loved the big numbers. However the light is very dim and the vibration is very weak to remind him of his medication. The alarm is not very loud. He likes how it looks on his wrist. If there is a way to adjust the lighting, alarm and vibration it would be perfect for him.

Perfect as a senior pill reminder
I bought this for my elderly father to remind him to take his pills. It’s rather retro in its design, but that’s exactly what I was looking. He had a similar watch in the 80s/90s so it was familiar to him. There is smarter tech out now, but cognitively, he doesn’t know how to use it.since getting it, he has rarely missed a dose. I like that it doesn’t need to be charged (important for those with memory issues), it water resistant (again, he sometimes forget to take it offer to shower), and easy to program (I programmed it, but instructions are simple if he should need to reset it).
