Product Reviews of Invisible Clock II - Vibrating Reminder
Product Review: Best item for ADD
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so impressed with this item. I keep it in my purse and no matter where I am in the office, I can hear the alarm that reminds me to take my medication. It has helped me tremendously. I am even using it to keep my self on schedule so that I get home at a certain time. It's made a great difference in my life.Product Review: Does not keep time
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this item for the vibrating reminder feature. It's a great concept, but the device does not keep time. After replacing the batteries (thought to be the cause of time-loss) with brand new ones, the timer was still off by several minutes at the end of the day. I've left it sit for three weeks and it's now over six hours off. Don't depend on this device to help you make it to meetings on time! Three sets of fresh batteries have not resolved the problem. It works OK as a countdown 'pill timer', but surely not worth the money for the other features if it can't keep time.Product Review: Does not work
Summary: 1 Stars
This product would have been perfect for my needs, except it does not work. The first time I used it, it lost power quickly. The second time, it would not even turn on. I would have returned it, but I had forgotten to keep the original packaging.Product Review: Flexible, Dependable, & Durable
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned one and used it 24 hours a day for over 3 1/2 years. I am in a wheelchair and need to routinely offload/shift my weight. The problem is, in the past I have always forgotten. This has allowed me to set any amount of continuous increments throughout the day (20 minutes) and then it shuts off automatically at 10:30 PM and doesn't start again until the next morning. I can also easily set it to simply vibrate during meetings, movies, etc.
It takes a little time to figure out how to program it to that type of detail; but it's worth it. You can remind yourself as many, or as little, times a day -- anytime of the day. It also can set timers simply based on countdown increments.
The buttons may be a little bigger than some of today's technology, that actually works better for me. However, I don't think it's a major detriment to anyone that needs this type of device.
Lastly, as I said -- it is durable. Many times through the years I've dropped it with no problems whatsoever. The only reason I am back here purchasing another at this time is that no matter how durable it may be it could not withstand an electric wheelchair running directly over it :-)
Highly recommended.
Product Review: I use it on a boat for safety when sailing
Summary: 5 Stars
It helps remind me to keep a look-out when I might otherwise lose track of time. I bought one of these Invisible Clock II units a few years ago and it works quite well. I can clip it to my pants belt or life vest strap like a pager and it will beep at whatever interval I set. When we are day sailing with guests I keep it on "vibrate" so they don't hear it, but it reminds me to check our blind spot (beyond the forward sail) every few minutes -- helpful in crowded areas when there are many boats out on the weekends. If going offshore you need to keep watch on the horizon less frequently, but you can have a major problem if you lose track of time and don't keep watch once in a while.
The only negative is the battery life is only so-so, but it might be better if you don't use vibrate every 2 minutes like I do. I agree that the user interface might be confusing for some people, but it is well documented and considering the many functions and flexible options, I think they did a very good job of design.
