Pavlok 3 Smart Habit Training Watch - Mindfulness Coach & Activity Tracker for Fitness, Sleep & Step Counting - Perfect for Athletes & Health Enthusiasts (Sports Edition)

UPDATE: I've now owned the pavlok 3 for 7 months. It still works, still wakes me up, and still functions as well as the first day. The battery life has dropped a tad, but nothing significant. For reference: I ONLY use this watch at night (read below), it comes off in the morning. On a full charge I'll get about a week out of it. I've lost 50 pounds because I'm so much more active and now the band barely fits me. I did go through 2 weeks where it was dying constantly and reading the wrong battery percentage but then pavlok updated the firmware and it fixed the problem. It has a smart alarm where it will continue to go off every few minutes if it senses that you're still lying in bed, it has an escalating alarm where it will get stronger over time AND a light sleep setting so if you're not in deep sleep when it goes off or can zap you weaker at first. I do wish to God they had a sleeker, slimmer, more feminine version, and that I could actually tell time with it (the watch face doesn't light up at all, it's just there to host the plates that shock you). But at the end of the day, I'm not going to complain about something that helped me literally save my own life. If you're considering it, buy it. For real. I don't even write reviews. THIS watch though? Is worth every word.I have narcolepsy. I sleep like the DEAD. Normally I have to set 20+ alarms with all different sounds, that I have to change up weekly in order to wake up to them. And I still regularly sleep through them! One thing ALL my exes hate me for? MY ALARMS. I'm not joking, it's obnoxious.Few months back I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy and I started a new medication for the narcolepsy where I have to take it right before bed, then wake up 4 hours later to take it again, and then get up in the morning. So not only did I have to wake up in the morning, but in the middle of the night. After I missed that second dose 3 times, I bought this watch. I could NOT afford to be unmedicated (read: I have a 5 year old and a propensity for totaling cars.)I haven't missed it since. I set the beep and vibration to 100% and they still don't wake my partner, and the zap to 80%, which is pretty strong but it gets me up. BECAUSE OF THIS WATCH, and taking the medication regularly I now don't fall asleep during the day at all anymore!!! I haven't been able to say that for 18 years. And the beauty of it is my brain knows the zap is coming so unless I'm trying to take the second dose 2½ hours later because I don't have enough time to sleep to wait the longer option (4 hours) I'm typically up and have turned it off before it shocks me. I have to take that second dose 6 hours before I have to drive so there's some math involved. This watch made it possible for me to take the dosing within the therapeutic window where I need to. If I have to take it 2½ hours later the medication is still pretty active when I wake up so it's a lot harder to wake up, but I'll wake up to the zap and successfully take that second dose that ensures I feel great the next day.My entire life has changed in two months. It's insane. Obviously, the watch isn't responsible for fixing the symptoms of my narcolepsy, but i was on the verge of being taken off this medication because i couldn't wake up. Without pavlok, i would've verb taken off, and my life would've continued in a downward spiral. But it gave me the ability to do the treatment so consistently that instead I now feel better at 32 than I EVER have.I wish I found this watch years ago. I would've lost less jobs, slept through less alarms, not been judged as being lazy or having bad time management by so many people. None of this was possible without waking up, and that's what this watch did. Thank you pavlok.I am a very (cannot stress this enough) heavy sleeper. I have always been able to sleep through anything. Physical interaction wouldn’t be enough to get me out of bed, sometimes I would have very vivid “dreams” that I had woken up and was preparing for my day. Pavlok was the one thing that has worked for me.-The alarm function works, it gets me up every time!- I cannot say the sleep tracker is 100%, but I can say it gives me insight into my habits and keeps me mindful of those habits.-I don’t wear during the day, because I do worry about damaging it.-The beep & vibration seems to be getting dull after about 3 weeks.-The zap is still working after 3 weeks and gets me up.-Doesn’t register jumping jacks, I have to unpair, turn off the alarm and then turn my Bluetooth back on for it to stop.-Only downside is it doesn’t have a locking function so you can take it off, but that’s on you tbh, it does it’s job of getting you up.I went from having my girlfriend very mad at me every morning, but now I wake up without her assistance. (E.g no more yelling at me to wake up via FaceTime lol)Highly recommend this product to heavy sleepers. This will absolutely change your life. I cannot say it does or doesn’t work for habits, I don’t use it for that function.Thanks Pavlok!This is an amazing alarm clock for heavy sleepers. You can set it to silent alarm so you don't wake up anyone else. I love this! However, the other functions it has really need updates. It tracks your steps, yet it doesn't sync with your phones pedometer. It has an option to remind you to weight yourself, yet it doesn't allow you to enter your weight or sync with your phone to track your weight. It says it can help with other habits, yet trying to set it up to alarm you when you do those habits is impossible and confusing. You can only set it up for one at a time. The app needs some serious updates and although I've put in multiple requests and suggestions I've yet to see anything at all change. If your looking for something that wakes you up though, THIS IS IT! I don't wake up to sounds, I sleep through everything and am late every single day!! But this has helped me tremendously.So I’m a very very heavy sleeper, I don’t wake up to any of my alarms on my phone , or even earthquakes. I bought this watch hoping it could wake me up in the mornings so I’m not late for work, and it did!The zap really gets me up in the morning, but now my body has recognized that once I hear the beep and feel the vibrate on my wrist, it’s about to zap me so I wake up right before the shock. I’m so happy I purchased this.I got the Pavlok watch because I was and still am in a lot of trouble with my job because I'm often late. I have to be up at 4 am and that was just extremely difficult for me to achieve consistently. So I told myself that I needed a serious solution to fix this. I found the Pavlok and still had a choice to make. It was whether spend the $200 for the watch or lose thousands and thousands of dollars because I got fired. Well since I'm writing this review I'm sure you know what option I choose. and I'm still employed, haven't been late in over a month, and feel confident whenever I go to sleep rather 3 hours, 8 hours, or 1 hour before my shift that I won't be late. The shock doesn't really feel like electricity to me but more of a feeling that my wrist is being crushed (on 100% power). Regardless I love it and would buy it again if I had to. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because it doesn't tell the time. If it told the time and I could get the alarm without the need for an app it would be a 5-star product all-day.So I really wanted to like this, which is why I spent £179.93 on this piece of plastic with a tiny battery and shock pen toy inside. I sleep extremely deeply so I hoped this would do the job it seems like it would probably manage it if it managed to stay together long enough to last a night. The plastic construction makes sense as it uses electric shocks to train for habits and waking you up so a metal housing would cause conductivity issues. However, this doesn't excuse the shoddy construction that it has; mainly down the 4 plastic standoffs that hold on the plastic cover on the front. After wearing for about an hour or two I was readjusting the watch and the front just popped off. The product itself does what it says on the box but the build quality is horrific. Get better manufacturers, especially if you expect me to pay you over £170 for your product. Two stars since the shock parts works well and the battery life is decent. Overall, don't buy unless you love broken plastic and burning your money. Thanks PAVLOK!I am a heavy sleeper and this method of alarm wakes me up.Also a member of my family has partial hearing loss and they use it to wake them. I think it’s a great invention for the partial hearing community. It is also an attractive device. My son has used it as practical jokes and conversation starters as well!Just opened and is broken, didn’t touch someone finger print on screen - when just open the box WTF. Don’t understand? Should be new one not usedThe hand detection is the most useful feature. It really has helped reduce my fingernail biting. The zap does the job of being mindful and aware of bad habits.these wrist alarms are unbelievable. if you are a heavy sleeper or an over sleeper this product is for you!
