Pavlok 3 - Silent Alarm & Wearable Mindfulness Coach for Good Habits - Elevate Mindfulness, Create Good Habits - Track Steps, Activity, and Sleep Patterns

So, here's a little story of woe... Alarms often don't wake me. Before pavlock I was routinely setting 6+ different alarms on 3 cellphones I hid around my room, I also had a bed shaker alarm that blared and shook the bed. Smart lights that flashed and turned on with the alarms. An echo dot that screamed at me to wake up. Most of the time that worked, although it usually took a while and I had to start all that an hour or so before I needed to actually wake up just to get up ontime. But, sometimes I slept right through all that cacophony and still woke up hours late. I've been called lazy, and unreliable, and generally treated pretty poorly by even my friends and family because of this. This is not me hitting the snooze button. I never even hear the alarm. This is very frustrating and has always made it difficult to keep a job, keeping me constantly on the verge of being fired for attendance issues as a result of this problem. Then one day seemingly at random I ran into this little gem. Having literally nothing to lose I gave it a shot... OMG. This thing might literally have saved my life. I haven't missed a day of work due to sleep issues since. My neighbors have stopped complaining about the noise and I'm able to wake up on the first alarm Every... Time... Damn thing makes me do jumping jacks before it will shut off. I have more energy since I'm not sleeping too much. Initially I thought this thing was extremely overpriced for what it promised to do. No more. I would pay twice the price for this thing it has truly changed my life. If you are having even slightly similar problems take the plunge. BUY IT. You won't regret it for a minute.

Almost nothing on the app works as it should. Every alarm has to be disabled in the app and they all “read sleep data” even if you set a sleep schedule for another alarm.The timer function doesn’t work as intended. If you try and set a 15 minute timer you also have to set the sound to go off every 15 minutes. It doesn’t go off at the end of timers. Stopwatch has the same function for some odd reason.Everything in the app requires an internet connection. You cannot even make a simple alarm.The watch constantly disconnects from Bluetooth if you try and turn off an alarm from the middle button. Which requires you to open the app again to reconnect it because connecting through Bluetooth instead messes it up.Overall the app/watch has everything it needs in theory but the execution is SEVERELY lacking. Especially considering how much you have to pay to even BUY a pavlok device the lack of functionality is astounding.The breaking habit section for smoking cigarettes is also lacking. It simply sends another alarm at a designated time of day saying “hey don’t smoke”.The footstep tracking/distance is set to km and as far as I could find couldn’t be changed and doesn’t match my phone at all. The only reason I did not give a 1 star review is due to the fact the device actually works as an alarm clock like I needed.UPDATE:Okay so I’ve had this device for a while.. I used it at an alarm clock mostly for a few months but eventually it stops shocking as much. I’m at a point now that I don’t even notice it unless I’m actively focusing on it.

Purchased this to help stop biting my nails. I had mixed results the Hand raise feature is only triggered by the device being vertical. So this cause multiple false alarms. The main thing that ruined this for me was the disconnecting. It disconnects from the app randomly throughout the day and overnight. Losing all sleep tracking data and you have to keep reconnecting it to change any settings. I was always close to my phone and some other people online also had this issue.At the end of the day this is a smartwatch like device with only 2 1/2 main functions that also cant tell the time. If it was under $100 it would justify it more but I just purchased a full feature smartwatch for $10 less than this product.This product should just be a Smartphone/smartwatch app.I would recommend for the other functions but the constant disconnecting issue ruins a lot of their functionality as well.

I have struggled with waking up for the past 3 years.I am a very deep sleeper. One of those that will sleep thru 20 alarms and never hear it once.Now i can wake up instantly for whenever i set my alarm. No more being late for work!

Full disclaimer, I like the product. As long as you have the discipline to use it as intended, I believe it’ll help you. Not to say this is immediately going to break all your bad habits but it’s a good way to start where others have failed. What I don’t like is the band. It’s a cool magnetic design, however, getting this thing on and off is a challenge when you’re more cautious of shocking yourself. Either there should be some way to disable the features while you taking it on or off via the app or opt for the sport version with a traditional band if you expect to regularly not have it on at all times. Also the sleep tracking is not automatic or inline with sleep goal. You have to turn it on via the app every night.

I have a very tough time waking up, and when this is set to max strength it is very very very hard to ignore and fall back asleep.

I hate this. It does exactly what it says. I thought it would help me. It is torture. I repeatedly take it off and fling it across the room whilst asleep. In my defense, it knows what it did
