Silent Vibrating Personal Alarm Clock Shake-N-Wake (White)

The Shake-n-Wake watch does exactly what I need it to do, with a minimum of fuss and easy set-up. The directions weren't the most clear I've ever read, but I didn't have any real trouble setting it up. I am a very light sleeper - every little noise wakes me up at night, and once I'm up, I have a hard time getting back to sleep. On the weekends, I can wear earplugs to bed and get a good night's sleep, but if I do that during the week, I can't hear my alarm clock in the morning. The Shake-n-Wake has completely solved my sleeping problems. I can now wear my earplugs at night and sleep without interruption, and the gentle vibration of the watch wakes me up in the morning with no problem. The unit is a bit bulky - the alarm part itself is about the size of a magnetic kitchen timer, and clips to a velcro band you wear around your wrist - but I haven't had any discomfort from it, nor has it fallen off in the middle of the night. It was well worth the reasonable price, and I would recommend it to anyone who can't use a regular alarm clock.

I hate this product. Here's why: an alarm only does me good when it goes off. Guess what, it didn't. It works 90% of the time, sure, but I personally need an alarm that will wake me up whenever I need it too. Instead, this terrible device caused me to be late today for work. I'm in a huge amount of trouble, and I'm very upset. So upset, in fact, I decided to write this review in the hopes that I can warn anyone reading this of the lesson I should have learned a long time ago: don't trust your job to an alarm that costs less than twenty bucks. That's the general statement. Honestly, you should immediately stop reading and look elsewhere, but here's my full thoughts on the product. When the "Shake-N-Wake" arrived I was very happy with the comfortable band, but I was surprised that the alarm was not attached to it, but rather the lip of the alarm slides into an elastic loop. It was sturdy, but I realized there was a risk the alarm could slip out in the night. The alarm is very bulky, but not uncomfortable. The problem with bulky is that it can bump on anything if you move while you sleep (move at all). The set-up is very confusing, until you realize half the features don't work. What do I mean by that? Well, there's a blinking list of the days of the week on the top, but it DOES NOT set alarms by the day. The instructions even mention to ignore the feature as it doesn't do anything. It says that. I wish I still had the tiny instructions because I laughed for nearly an hour on how it told me too ignore a malfunctioning feature. Oddly enough it never slipped out! Instead, the entire lip piece simply bent off. I decided to screw the alarm directly into the band, but the plastic was so cheap the screws simply broke off with the plastic. I then placed it under my pillow and the vibration woke me up alright. The vibrating mode was the reason I got the Shake-N-Wake (imagine that,) and it worked when it went off. 10% of th time it WOULDN'T go off. Today, I returned to discover that the small switch on the side that turns off the vibration and turns on the soft beep (like a watch alarm) had gone off. Now, the alarm is so quiet I normally don't hear it, but remember, I had the device under my pillow because it had destructed itself to the point of not functioning. All in all, it lasted barely 3 months and failed me about 5 times, today being the worst of it. As soon as I finish I will be looking for a better product to order, and when that arrives, I will smash this stupid device into oblivion. I apologize for my informal speech, but this piece of junk is going to burn in the fiery pits of Mordor by the time I'm though. Please run away from this page and block this item to save your job (unless you want to buy it for the ridiculous instructions or if you happen to need a cheap plastic you can peel away for your art projects.

I bought this timer for two purposes: #1 when cooking I often leave the kitchen while things are on the stove and once I get upstairs I easily forget and can burn things. To avoid this I would carry a wind-up kitchen timer in my pocket to remind me but it was bulky. #2 I sometimes want to take a quick nap but don't want to go through the bother of changing my alarm clock to wake me up in 45 minutes or so. I hoped this little timer might help me on these two points. My first encounter with it wasn't very pleasant. There are no instructions on how to use the wrist band - you just have to figure it out and it is not too intuitive. There are nicely printed instructions for the timer but they were not particularly helpful at first. I think it should start with telling you how to set the time but instead it starts with a stop watch function. I suppose that is okay if you only want to use it only for a stop watch, but the problem is that to set up most functions you need to be in the "Normal Time State" and there are no instructions on how to get there except to say that once you first put the battery in, you are in that state. Just touch any key and you don't know where you are. I got lost and put it down. A couple of hours later heard this terrible noise coming from my desk. I had apparently inadvertently set the alarm by pressing some button or another and the vibrator was rattling my desk! I couldn't immediately figure out how to stop it so I got frustrated and pulled out the battery. A few days later I approached it again and very carefully set the time, date, day and then set the alarm and tested it and it worked just fine. So I think I have conquered it. Voila! (PS: I am not a complete technology idiot as I am a semi-retired computer programmer - so I can imagine others struggling with it too.) Now that I have it working it appears that it will be just fine for the two functions I intended for it so I can recommend it - just be patient with the instructions!

I'm an Amazon Prime Member and purchase a lot of things. This by far has been my best purchase; because it changes how your entire day goes from the moment you wake up. I have had this alarm clock for about 2 months now. My Wife and I just had a baby recently and she sleeps beside our bed for the time being; the baby, not the wife. Before I got this Vibrating Alarm Clock I used my usual phone alarm clock to wake me up. I'm hard to wake up too. The phone would go off and wife would wake up, dogs would wake up, baby would obviously wake up and in a panic, I'm trying to shut off my phone in a dizzy haze. Sometimes hitting the snooze and repeating if it didn't happen to wake everyone up the first time, or the phone would just lock up and not go off and I would be late to work. Talk about rough mornings. Now with the Shake-n-Wake Alarm Clock I wear it on my wrist at night. I wake up very early in the morning to run before I go to work. It vibrates and wakes me up without fail every single time without startling me. I'm not in a panic to shut it off in fear of waking everyone up. I get in my run before work and the rest of the day is splendid, not to mention the wife, and baby get to sleep a few more hours. A few people have mentioned the hourly alarm annoyance flaw. Not a flaw, just an option. Maybe the flaw was it was left out of some of the instructions. I shut it off day one and it never comes back. Just pressing the "Time Set" and "Mode" button simultaneously toggles the hourly chime on and off. When the date display indicates "SU MO TU WE TH FR SA" after pressing these buttons simultaneously, the hourly chime is on. The date display will go blank after toggling the hourly chime off. Very easy, not worth even close to trashing this product over that. I've also heard people complain about the arm strap. I've not had any problems with mine and wearing it 5 days a week for 2 months now and does not look to be wearing out. I imagine if it does ever break I will quickly be at the fabric store fix it or make a new one. I love this thing and after my baby moves to her nursery, I'm sure I'll still be wearing it. Even if I'm alone in bed, I'll probably still use it, because even as hard as it is to wake me up with a loud alarm clock, the Shake-n-Wake wakes me up nice and easy. I recommend this product!

I purchased this for my husband because I am a very light sleeper, he is a very deep sleeper, and he gets up hours before I do. He would need an excessively loud alarm clock to have any hope of waking up on time, but when it would go off I would jump through the roof. After being woken that way it would take me hours to get back to sleep, if at all. When we received ours it was chiming hourly, as mentioned in other reviews, but there were instructions as to how to turn that off. It took a few attempts to actually shut this feature off, but it did eventually turn off. The problem that we had with it was the design. It is attached to the wristband via a flimsy belt-clip like design, so as he would toss and turn at night, it would occasionally slip off the band, then we would both be awake in the morning sifting through our sheets to try to find it. With these minor issues, it would have still earned 4 stars from me. The nights where it stayed in place - which was most of the time - it was amazing. Most of the time I would wake up later and have no memory of him even leaving. The times that I was woken by it I would go back to sleep very quickly because it was so gentle. But yet it worked well enough to wake my deep sleeping husband. One complaint that he had was that in the dark while struggling to wake up it is easy to mistake the "off" button for the "snooze" button, so he would also set a back up alarm on his phone and just turn it off if he woke up in time. The reason it only gets 2 stars from me though, is after only 3 months of use, that very flimsy clipped that never worked well has actually snapped off. So now it is useless. This is a great concept, but the suggestions I would have for improvement would be: 1) find a better, more secure way to attach it to the band. 2) Get rid of the hourly chime, or at least have it come with it disabled, with instructions on how to enable it. 3) Make it so that any button will snooze but you have to press 2 buttons to shut it off.

I use this for traveling (without the wrist strap) so I don't wake anyone else up in the next hotel room and I find it more pleasant. I also clip it to the pocket in front of me on the plane so I don't have to dig and get my cell phone every time I want the time - the light feature is nice. Unfortunately, I can't use it at home because my husband wakes up to the sound of it more so than my alarm clock, go figure. It's not very loud. The HOURLY CHIME feature is a nightmare. Just like when the alarm is on and there is an icon in the top right corner, there should definitely be a big H or something to indicate it's set on hourly chime. Apparently, it is easy to press those two buttons (reset and mode) simultaneously by accident, because I'm not the only one who's talking about it. The biggest problem was that my son began using this alarm clock. He complained once about its going off a lot, so I turned off the hourly charm I thought. At some point, his teachers complained he was sleeping in class and in general just not energetic. A month later, when I was going to borrow it back for a trip (today), I noticed it was on. So it's very likely that my poor boy's been awakened every hour on the hour for the last month and simply didn't recall it and fell right back to sleep. This small little electronic device unbeknownst to us made us very concerned about our son with no solution in sight. Unacceptable! The setting of the clock is indeed not intuitive because in each mode, it does NOT say what it is. The stopwatch is the first choice of items to be set - why? Logically, it would be time, but time is the third choice after alarm. Also, toggling between 12 and 24-hour mode is an accidental endeavor. If anyone can clue me in as to how to set this, I'd appreciate it. I will still use this item myself, but given the ease at which people can set it on the horrific hourly chime and how complicated it is - I can't wholeheartedly recommend it. That said, I don't see an alternative product out there yet.

I am not much of a morning person. Never have been, and probably never will be. I sleep through alarms religiously, and I'm constantly hitting the snooze button more than I should. That is why I purchased this product -I wanted something that would rattle me awake. This little guy does the job. It's bulky and hard to figure out at first (KEEP THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!), but highly effective. Many other reviews have mentioned that it's hard to wear on their wrist seeing as it's bulky and you can't lay on your arm at all. I agree with them - I sleep on my stomach and side and the Shake'N'wake is just too big to be comfortable like that. But if you continue reading another reviewer mentioned putting it on their ankle instead - this works like a charm. Plus, I have a habit of taking off what ever is annoying me in my sleep, and it's much more difficult to do this when it's so far from my hands. I gave this product 5 stars because it does actually wake me up more than normal alarms - without waking my entire neighborhood up with those insanely loud alarm clocks. Although I do pair it up with a regular normal desk alarm clock (just to be safe) and the combination works perfectly.

I am a hard of hearing individual and I purchased this product in lieu of another product I would've much preferred, the ShakeAwake Alarm Clock. I had previously owned 3 of those devices over the period of 10 years, replacing them as they got old, but always living up to their name. However when the latest one passed away, I came onto Amazon, as I had to purchase the other 3, to discover that the product was no longer available in their store, and I could not even find a way to purchase it from their seemingly official site. So I discovered this product, the closest thing to what I actually wanted (a vibrating alarm to go under my pillow and wake me up each morning before work) 1) the device shakes momentarily EVERY hour on the hour. That could not be any more annoying to my girlfriend who spends many nights with me and is not hard of hearing. Also, WHY is that feature even there? 2) while my girlfriend was not around (she would wake me up when a audible alarm went off instead), I would use the alarm clock, however, there was no real snooze option (that I could find, which I also used a LOT on the ShakeAwake device), and the vibration was so unnoticeable under the pillow, that I ended up having to use the vibration from my iPhone as a secondary backup to wake me up in case this device didn't. 3) For a short while, the alarm simply wasn't going off. I couldn't figure out why for a few days until I noticed that in the middle of the night, or during one of my wake ups, the alarm's switch changed from vibrate to audio... the switch moved way too easily, and I could've been late to work multiple days if it wasn't for my backup alarm. 4) By this time, I completely shunned this device and I have been using my iPhone, a device unintended for this role for a hard of hearing person, which has performed this job far better than the alarm ever has. However, I'd prefer NOT to use my iPhone for this role and have a dedicated device for waking me up. 5) Sure, there's an option to wear it on your wrist, but the last thing I need is something uncomfortable on my wrist as I try to sleep. Honestly, I'd prefer to return this device, however, it's not really on any fault of the product itself, it's not defected. It just isn't for me. Looking forward to the ShakeAwake device becoming available in the store again, or at the least finding another store that I can actually purchase it from.
