Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
This product has a lot of other functionality, but I bought it mainly to wake me up from the deepest of sleep. And in this regard it does not fail. I am a medium build 210 lb male and having this set to 30% provides ample jolt to wake me up. If not supremely sleep deprived, I will often awaken to the vibration that precedes the shock. If you ever get to the point where even 100% does not do the job, you can rotate the unit so that it contacts the inside of your wrist (and start back at 10%), which creates a very different shocking experience, propagating the sensation toward your fingertips. Guaranteed to get your attention.
To be honest, this doesn't work as well as I hoped. Not only that, but because of back orders and failures to ship it to the correct address, the company took nearly 2 months to get the product to me. I ordered this product off of their website, pavlok.com. Besides the complications with shipping, the product itself says that it will wake you up and keep you up because it causes your body to produce adrenaline from its shocks. It doesn't. Yes it will wake you up, but in the days that I've used this product have been some of the mornings I've felt the most groggy my whole life. Overall I've been unimpressed, and it hasn't helped like I thought it would based off of advertisements.

Waking up full of adrenaline sounds effective...but: 1. Unless you find and apply a setting like jumping jacks (haven't even found this option yet) the alarm can be turned off without ever lifting your head from the pillow. 2. Adrenaline fades pretty quick 3. Stronger settings and higher repeats isn't as innocuous as they describe. It's more like waking up with a scorpion attacking your wrist. 4. Lower settings can be slept through. 5. The plastic holder the wrist band attaches to is insanely cheap. The end came detached on day 2, it fell off in my sleep on day 3. Waking up to scorpion on your wrist is one thing. Waking up to it stinging your back is very different, also unpleasant, experience. The pin is tiny - nearly impossible to find...which lead to putting it in a sweat band for my wrist, where zapping doesn't work and I discovered that 6. The highest buzz only setting isn't effective. 7. The highest beep only setting isn't effective. 8. There's no combination buzz/beep alarm.
The band is really nice. kind of wish the mount held up so I could adjust to waking up with this thing and find out if it actually works over time.
As I suffer from a minor case of narcolepsy, getting through the day without feeling the urge to pass out on the spot can often be a struggle. And so after trying a bunch of different options, I decided "Hey, why not try out a bracelet that electrocutes you!"
Now when I ordered the Pavlok I bought the cheaper version, the Sleep Clock Pavlok, from the Pavlok website. However after shipping delays and problems with their supplier, they ended up sending me a Pavlok 2 with no additional charges, which I am very grateful for. So take this review with a grain of salt knowing that Pavlok really went out of their way to make me a happy customer.
At this point, I've been using the bracelet for about a day and I can certainly attest to how effective this little thing is. The jolt it gives is adjustable ranging from barely being able to feel it on the weaker side and on the high end seems a bit stronger than licking a 9-volt battery. On top of that you can adjust the number of shocks as well to however many you feel necessary. You can set up the wristband to do a number of things like setting it as an alarm to help you get out of bed, or you can also tap on the top of it to deliver an instant charge. Tapping on the top requires a bit more pressure than I would like, but given that we are talking about electrocuting yourself, it's probably better than electrocuting yourself every time you bump your wrist against something.
The app is pretty effective at what it needs to do, though I haven't explored the areas dealing with breaking habits (what the wristband was originally designed for). You're able to keep track of a large number of things ranging from alarms to current zap settings to even keeping track of your sleep cycle and how well you are sleeping. On top of that there are a number of additional options you can add to the app for whatever your needs might be.
At this point, everything I have seen is very much an early impression of the Pavlok 2, but as far as first impressions go I am very impressed. I'll probably update this review later after a few weeks to give my further impressions of it, but so far this little wristband has been quite effective at what I've wanted from it, and even has options that I wasn't looking for but was very pleased to see. This review is only 4 stars at the moment just because this is purely first impressions, it may end up being 5 stars if I am pleased with this over the next few weeks.
I love this thing. I use it primarily to get up early in the morning.... impossible to ignore getting zapped. Plus now there is an alarm setting that required you to do jumping jacks in order to turn off the alarm....works like a charm!!
I bought this product on the Pavlok website about mid June. It’s now mid August and they’ve delayed shipment 3 times, and now they won’t even give me a date it’s supposed to ship. At first I was really excited to try this product but the more I read reviews the less hopeful I am because many cite that it stops working after a while. I guess I wouldn’t know because they won’t even tell me when it’s supposed to be shipped or even if they still make this product.
Amazingly effective. I am typically a skeptic when it comes to products with nearly "unbelievable" claims. The Pavlok earned its right to make those hard to believe claims. I broke a 5 year habit of drinking "sugary drinks" with meals (diabetic) in less than 10 days.
