Shock Clock | Budget Silent Alarm Clock | Perfect for Heavy Sleepers | Great for Couples | Wake Up On Time | Vibrating Alarm | Best Alarm for Students

Critical view:First, the last of user manual is frustrating. I don’t even know there is a button. Doesn’t seem double tapping is doing anything.[edit: the app has been updated and it works now] Second, I’m using iphone SE. The Pavlok 2 app works fine, but it keeps sending me a notice saying Pavlok 2 is going to get shutdown, and that notice prevents me from using the app unless I reboot my phone. However, Pavlok 3 app is horrible, timer doesn’t work, UI is confusing… I see that Pavlok 3 is supposed to add additional functions, and some of them works, but the main function don’t work as good as the old app which is going to be shutdown.Third, the battery is small and cannot be powered off. For me, I don’t use it very often. But when I stop all alarms, it still drains the battery fast and I need to recharge it before I want to use it again. Not very convenient.Fourth, there has been a time when I use it daily, and it was hot, my wrist sweats. The sweat and it’s metal plates have chemical reaction that irritates my skin after some weeks.Pros:— I personally think the sizes and rubbery bands looks great, not poor-looking, but it’s just my taste of flavor. From the look doesn’t seem like poor quality, but that’s just the look and its real quality still need time to test. Nevertheless I handle it with care as if it’s a low quality product so that I try not to break it.— It does its job, zaps, vibrates and beeps, and you can set zapping strength, vibration etc at different levels, repeat at different intervals. The hardware can do anything but it depends on their app design what you can do.— i was concerned about how fast the quality degraded when I found out zapped much weaker than the day before. Turns out that it very depends on the moisture on your skin. You will feel the zap much stronger when your skin has some moisture. (As long as it’s not dry it’s enough, don’t completely wet your skin)

To start with, I am hard of hearing. Unfortunately I am also a heavy sleeper and because of this I cannot use standard alarm clocks. Most devices on the market for people that are hearing impaired have this tendency to break rather quickly and they are priced at less than economically ideal prices. This device was no different.It worked great for the first two months or so. I would wear it on my off hand wrist when I slept and the shock would wake me up just fine. The app was a little buggy, but I forgave that because of how well the Pavlok worked. The silver part of the device itself is just painted over copper. The paint wore off within the first couple of weeks leaving the copper exposed which then started to corrode. Once this happened, the device quit shocking at the power that It was shocking before, and now has ceased to work.I had high hopes for this product. It seemed to deliver at first. Now I see that it is a brilliant idea wrapped up in a cheaply manufactured product and extremely overpriced. This item is not built to last long at all. It worked fine for two months then began to degrade to the point of complete failure at the six month mark. Save your money and find something better.

I bought one of these in December right after Christmas, it works great! I can sleep through those really loud alarm clocks and the bed shakers too, so this was exactly what I needed. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that my first device quit working after less than a month, it just wouldn’t hold a charge even if I had it fully charged right before putting it on at bed time, it would die before morning; but they replaced it! Then several months down the road now, the replacement has stopped shocking and they have once again happily replaced it. I love how smart the alarm functions are, even going off again if you get too still in the next30 minutes of getting up( like when you sit down by the heater and doze off again). You can customize the beeps buzzes and zaps and it has several ways to get you up and moving to turn it off. I hope my next one lasts a little better, but to be honest even if it doesn’t I might just upgrade to the newer model to see if they worked out the kinks because this is exactly what a really heavy sleeper like myself needs.
