Product Reviews of Vibrating Alarm Clock and Timer on a Keychain
Product Review: Pretty impressive for a small package
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this device as a way to avoid waking my husband when I need to be up earlier than he is. I was a little hesitant since this is a keychain sized item, rather than one of the full size silent alarms. I was pleasantly surprised that it works quite well! Using the functions is easy even without the included instructions, and I really like that the buttons are set on the side of the unit. I can place it under my pillow without worrying about accidentally shutting it off. I think this unit will work well for anyone, especially those wanting the portability. May be a bit small for really heavy sleepers......I'm not one, so can't say for sure. I just know I'm happy with mine!Product Review: Relatively Poor

I bought this a year ago for a meditation timer. I love the size, and when it works, it's perfect. However, it seems to go through the batteries quickly, and it requires two which cost $5 each at Radio Shack. It' cheaper to buy a new product than replace the batteries.
Having said that, I'm buying a second because it is so convenient. (The original died after a year.)
Also, be aware that it is a cheap product from China. The instructions are obtuse, and setting the timer may require several pushes of the appropriate button, if you understand how it works.
Good luck--but I'm ordering a second.---Go figure!

Small and handy. Convenient when you don't want to wake another but the vibration can be too jolting.Product Review: Wish it were a little better
Summary: 3 Stars
First let me say that this item is exactly what I need: a timer that vibrates to remind me to take medicine each hour. And since it is quiet I can wear it around my neck in movie theaters, lectures, etc. without disturbing anyone. However, it could be a little better quality. I wear it on a necklace. Soon after I got it the battery compartment came open while I was driving and spilled out a battery as I got out of the car. Luckily I retrieved the battery. This could easily happen if used as a key chain. The battery compartment is not very tightly closed. On the topic of batteries, even though this item is inexpensive, the first set of batteries lasted me only one month, and Radio Shack charges close to $11 for the pair. I hope my second set (bought this week) lasts longer. And setting the item is more confusing than most electronics. If I accidently bump a button while I'm out, the timer, alarm, and clock all go haywire, and I have to come home to read instructions to fix it. The buttons are not intuitive in any way. I'll use this timer for now. But if something better came along, I would probably switch.
