I am not a watch wearer — haven’t really worn a watch for like 10+ years. The past few days, though, I’ve been wearing a VibraLite 8 watch I ordered off of Amazon and am very happy with it.

Of course I’m not actually using it for anything as mundane as telling time — in fact, I haven’t even bothered to set the correct time on it yet. Instead I’m using it for time management.

Of all the watches I looked at, the VibraLite seems to be one of the few that can set countdown alarms and then trigger a vibration alert at the end of the alarm (rather than annoying everyone around me with stupid beeping). Typically I like to work in 15 to 30 minute segments on projects. So I can set a countdown timer for 15 minutes, and the VibraLite will vibrate at 10, 5 and of course when the timer reaches zero (I could turn off the 10 minute and 5 minute reminders if I wanted to, but they do help me keep on task).

It’s got a bunch of other features that I don’t care about and haven’t investigated. And, of course, as you can tell from the picture, this has “nerd watch” written in exclamations all over it. If style is your main concern in a watch, run away from this as fast as you can.

But this is the perfect watch for the ADHD set.
