The design is very human.

I'm not sure why you're being down voted.
It's a Chinese subsidiary of a Canadian company, I'm not sure if it's fair to say it's a Chinese invention/product

Right because it‘s only „not propaganda“ when we complain about American tech products? They even said that Chinese consumers gave it mixed reviews and how controversial it is. It’s clearly a Chinese product for the Chinese market. I don‘t see what‘s anti-China about not explaining the exact relationship between everyone involved in the headline when they explain it in the first paragraph. What‘s Anti-China about the claim that the Chinese public largely rejects the idea? I think that‘s a good thing.

Lmao do better, the product is Canadian due to it being a Canadian company. If it is a Chinese product because it's made in China… there are no American products that you allude to.

Woah, a kink kolanaki doesn't know about. That's refreshing.

I just thought those were only for cattle.

The real solution is humane working hours. If you can't wake up on time, it means you shouldn't even be waking up at that time.
Some people sleep late. That's normal. It should be accommodated for.

This is just a ripoff the Pavloc Shock Watch which I've used for years

Do they work?
Zoot@reddthat.com · 6 pts · 289d
They've worked for me, I would just go with the 3, not the one with the screen. Mine was always very consistent, and boy can it shock you.
My S/O at the time hated me cause I can sleep through everything, so the watch was the only sane option for the both of us, an it did wake my ass up. Can't say I've ever trained myself to wake up at 6am normally though lol.

Define "work", do they actually zap you, vibrate, beep? Absolutely! Oh, did mean if you ask it to do something it will do it reliably and when you asked it to? Nope!
I used one for a bit as a silent alarm to take medication in the middle of the night and not wake up my wife. Did that alarm ever consistently go off? Nope! The app you use to interact with it is hot garbage and feels like it was contracted out to get it to "it technically works" and just kept getting crap piled on.

My Fitbit alarm vibrates and that wakes me up. So much better than sound. I wouldn’t want a shock though

I’m down for it.

The people at pavlok probably would want a word with the people who made the shock bands....
