Pavlok 3 – A Personal Life Coach On Your Wrist – Practice Mindfulness and Build Good Habits – Track Your Steps, Activity, and Sleep Patterns! (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 have owned this product for over a year. I have been shocked(no pun intended) by how cheap the device is and moreover, how increasingly unreliable it has become. It does work well for waking you up when it works as intended(which is becoming more and more rare).***BEFORE BUYING THIS PRODUCT -> GO TO YOUR APP STORE AND LOOK AT THE REVIEWS FOR ITS APP!***This product REQUIRES the companion app, which used to work well but every few months the app updates. When it does this the app strips features and adds bugs. Everything from alarms turning themselves off, alarms duplicating at different times(which leads to shockingly annoying surprises) and now it requires that you re-pair the app EVERY TIME you want to change or set an alarm. Even some of the better features like smart alarm, have stopped working reliably. If you dare to rate the app honestly on Google play store(average is 1 star last I checked) you will be harassed by "customer service" every few months about how "there's a new update, raise your rating" and "email me now to fix these issues so you can raise your rating" both through Google play and through the apps direct message features. If you waste your time contacting support they will just have you reset your device and update the app which I have done multiple times and it does not work. They won't allow you to use old versions of the app that worked better and I have not found a 3rd party app option.Also the location and design of the charging port causes it to collect gunk that you can't get out and getting the device to charge will become more and more difficult.All in all, this pavlok is worth roughly $50 with the original app, about half that now. After receiving the most recent bout of harassment from support via direct messages through the app late at night(they like to do that), I have uninstalled the app and permanently retired the device.Tomorrow I will be doing what I should have done instead of buying this overpriced piece of garbage a year ago, going to a store and buying a $20 alarm clock. I suggest you save your money and do the same.

I am a heavy sleeper and it is difficult to get up in the morning. Even loud alarm clocks don’t wake me up. The electrical shock that this watch delivers definitely gets me up in the morning! I’m giving this product four stars because that’s the main reason that I bought it. However, the band is super uncomfortable and not very stylish. The device itself feels cheaply made, and is not durable. The first week wearing it at work I had it all scratched up. (I am a GM at a restaurant). The app is very clunky and full of bugs. Some of the features don’t even work correctly.Random side note, I also noticed that there is always a 30% off sale no matter what. Currently it’s a 30% off Mother’s Day sale. In April it was 30% off for spring and back in March it was 30% off for St. Patrick’s Day.Personally, I believe I overpaid for this product. I believe I paid just shy of $200, but can’t recall as I write this. It’s not something that I wear during the day anymore as there is no need. It’s simply an alarm clock that I wear on my wrist at night. I also think that the marketing strategy needs some work.Overall, I think it’s a really cool concept and I appreciate the impact it’s made on my life. I would be more please with this product if it were cheaper and not advertised as a multi functional device. A simple shock alarm clock offered in different colors for half the price would maybe sell more.
