Shock Clock

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.

UpDate 4/27/25: well my band ended up breaking and I lost my little shock box. I used this so much so long I got used to it I wouldn’t wake up from full power shock max settings I moved it around both arms an even my ankles. I was either sleep through it or just take it off just about 2 months after having it I was so sad I really wanted this to be my solution. UPDATE 2/27/23: so after 3 weeks or so I’ve charged it like 1 time every 3 days so I worked with the app some more and found how to fix an alarm to still shock even if I turn off the alarm it’s smart alarm option and if you don’t move around a lot within 30 mins it will shock you I like that. This thing does get me up but I had to set it at like 60 70% power. I have also been taking it off but by the time I get it off so it don’t shock me and I get the alarm off im awake. Over all so far this works like a charm. I had to figure some stuff out and set it up how I needed it. Only thing I don’t like is, sometimes it will disconnect from my phone. It’s sometimes not easy getting it repaired. I’m not sure how I can fix that part, but l will keep working with it. That’s my biggest issue other than this thing really does wake me up. At first I sat like 15 alarms starting an hour before I needed up, cause that’s how it’s always been. If I need up at 7, I set alarms at 550 then every 5 mins after and usually still late. Not this one, now I have the right settings. I want up at 7 I set the alarm for 659 so, by the time I’m getting up trying to get this thing off it’s 7am and I’m up. At 3 weeks I’ll say it works, you just have to find the right shock for you. I suggest at least 50 or 60 if your a very heavy sleeper. I start mine at 60 with 2 zaps if that don’t work 8 mins later I get 2 zaps at 70 and I’m up.! that’s plenty for me usually, I’m up at 60% but I alway still like that just in case! I’ve used bed shaker, surround sound speakers, and bluetooth my iPhone alarm (the loud siren alarm) to the speaker setup NO, my husband shaking me yelling my name, my brother throwing stuff at my face, flipping mattresses up and shaking, nothing even though theyd say I would take to them tell them I’m up but never remember it. If your hard to get up or be woken up this will help. I give it 5 stars and if I change my opinion I’ll come back and update again. I’m super happy tho so far so good!! I like it so far just got it last night charged it and wore it to bed so I haven’t found out how to make it make noise or maybe it don’t not sure but I know it does shock you I was awoke from being shocked at about 4 mins after the alarm started going off and I know it shocked me about 3 times that I felt before waking up so I have mine on 40% now and it did wake me up im going to put it on 50% tonight it is a small shock in just one tiny area I still haven’t learned everything yet but I can tell you im a very heavy sleeper I can sleep threw 2 hours of alarms set to go off every 5 mins with ease my husband has to shake me and yell waking the kids and everyone up and then I still don’t get up for about an hour once he starts yelling I don’t hear it or don’t remember it not sure but I know it did wake me up and I was very surprised but I hit snooze 1 time and it got me and then I just hit stop and went back to sleep so I’m going to have to change that part so I can’t keep doing that.

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.

I am so happy I made this purchase! I was holding out for a bit thinking I didn’t need something that zapped me but after I overslept on my third day working a new job, I was looking for anything that would help me wake up on time and this does the trick! I’ve had some issues oversleeping before and have tried so many alarm clocks, numerous ones that have been listed as best alarms for heavy sleepers, and they still don’t work for me. So I am very excited that I found something that actually wakes me up consistently and is training my body to wake up. I love how you can adjust the intensity of the vibration and zapping. I’ve had the Pavlok Shock Clock for almost a month now so I haven’t had a chance to use the other features on it but I’m excited to use it to help break my nail biting habit as well. Update 13 Apr 2020: of course after the return window closed, I start having issues. The Pavlok bracelet randomly decided not to work today causing me to oversleep. Until now, it has worked without fail and I always wake up with the zaps but it just didn’t go off today. Before I went to sleep, it was synced with my phone and had my multiple alarms on. So decreased from 5 to 3 stars for unreliability.

Purchased the Pavlok shokz wristband for my son who is a very heavy sleeper. The product worked great and accomplished the task of waking my son for college classes and work. It performed as intended but after several months of use the shock component stopped working. I contacted Pavlok and they replaced the shock wrist clock with a new device. They were VERY prompt in addressing my problem and sending a new device within several days of contacting them. Very pleased with their product and customer service and would definitely purchase from them again.

Like most other purchasers of the Shock Clock, I am an incredibly heavy sleeper. I'll put it this way, on nights that I could potentially get a few hours of sleep (2-5 hours) I will usually just pull an all-nighter because I know I will sleep through my very loud alarm clock that will often wake up my roommates in their bedrooms. I purchased the Shock Clock as a last ditch effort to avoid pulling unnecessary all-nighters. I have had the Shock clock for six months now, and I hate to say it, but I am quite disappointed in the product. For the first month I owned the device, I loved it. I was able to reliably get out of bed without getting 7+ hours of sleep. However, the reliability of the product began to plummet after the first month. At this point, my product rarely works. When I say the product doesn't work, I don't mean that I sleep through it; I mean that the watch will not zap. I have tested it many times. I will get a full night of sleep, wake up using my traditional alarm, and wait for the Shock Clock to go off. More times than not, there is no electrical impulse. When there is a shock, it is barely strong enough to feel at all, even at the highest shock setting. Once again, I have began pulling unnecessary all-nighters because of the fear of sleeping through my alarm. I really wish I could recommend this product, but I cannot. Maybe I just received a faulty unit, but it's the only one I have to review. I would gladly change my review if I was given a properly functioning product, but until then, I would not recommend buying this product. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one star is because its a great idea for a product, just poorly executed.

I was a little skeptical about using a zap or shock to wake up. I have been using my Pavlok for a little over two weeks and it really works! The nice thing is, you can customize your settings for zap, vibrate or beep, (or any combination of the three) to be different for different days. It is comfortable to sleep with, not bulky like other vibrating alarms. The app is simple to use, and setup is quick. It offers sleep tracking which is interesting but not necessary to use the alarms. The battery lasts a little more than a week before charging and the app reminds you when to charge it. Only negative, it is not waterproof. Overall, a little more expensive than other wrist alarms, but the zap really does get me out of bed, no more hitting snooze four times. I am very happy with my purchase.

Wir haben die Uhr im August 2023 gekauft, jetzt März 2024 keine Funktion mehr. Händler nicht kontaktierter

Es una idea genial y me gustó el producto en sí, pero se desconecta constantemente de la aplicación, lo que impide su correcto funcionamiento. Además, se desconfigura con frecuencia; cuando digo esto, me refiero a que no dura ni cinco minutos conectado. Al ocurrir, comienza a emitir sonidos repetidamente, lo cual resulta muy molesto porque no se sabe cómo apagarlo. Le di varios días de oportunidad, ya que sin este problema sería un producto excelente. No sé si solo me pasó a mí o si es un problema general del producto.

Its terrible please do not buy it the app interaction is terrible and it keeps disconnecting very very bad sending it back

Après 6 mois d’utilisation, fait son petit travail mais rien d’exceptionnel, gros dormeur: ceci n’est pas la solution miracle. Il arrive parfois une déconnexion avec le téléphone, la montre vibre quand même, mais impossible de l’arrêter car plus reconnu par l’application En bref, bien pour un complément, mais étant dormeur profond avec très peu d’heure de sommeil, ce n’est pas l’outil que je pensais, même avec des châtaignes à quasi 70-80%

Really great product and works as it should do while being comfortable and does not break easily. Worth the money and looks discreet
