Simple and Effective
Setup was really straightforward. The band is comfortable, and the vibration is strong enough that I notice it immediately.
Strong Vibration
The bracelet is really easy to use, and the vibration is much stronger than I expected. I like that I can wake up without making noise. I didn't need much time to learn how to use it. The controls are simple and the vibration feels strong enough for my morning alarm. This sounds strange, but waking up feels less unpleasant now. There's no loud ringtone blasting next to me. It's just a strong vibration that gets my attention the whole experience feels more relaxed.
Less Phone Time at Night
Love that my alarm isn't tied to my phone anymore. I can put my phone farther away and still have a reliable way to wake up. The bracelet is simple to use.
Less startling than phone
My old alarm would scare me awake sometimes. This is much less startling. I still get a strong alert, but the whole experience feels more relaxed.
Amazing!!
My husband always wakes up extra early for work and our families sleep was always disturbed, I got him this and he put it on a few nights ago skeptical, until it worked.
Easy to Use Every Day
I wanted something simple rather than another complicated gadget. The bracelet is easy to set, comfortable to wear, and has a strong vibration when the alarm goes off.
glad i tried it
i was skeptical at first, but I'm glad I gave it a try. the vibration is strong the controls are simple and I like not having to use my phone as my alarm anymore.
surprisingly strong
the bracelet looks pretty simple, so I wasn't expecting the vibration to be this noticeable.
Doesn't disturb my husband
My partner and I don't wake up at the same time, so a normal alarm wasn't ideal. The bracelet lets me wake up without disturbing them.
Really Happy With the Switch
After using my phone as an alarm for years, I didn't expect to like this as much as I do. The vibration is strong and the whole experience feels more peaceful.
Less Noise in the Morning
I live with several people and didn't want another loud alarm waking everyone up. This gives me a personal alarm without all the noise.
Comfortable and simple
The band is comfortable enough for me to wear overnight, and setting the alarm is straightforward. The vibration is strong and easy to feel.
Much Less Startling
My phone alarm used to make me jump awake. The bracelet feels much less aggressive while still giving me a strong enough alert to get up.
Quiet but Powerful
It's surprisingly strong for something so small. I love that the alarm itself is quiet but the vibration is powerful enough to notice immediately.
Happy I Made the Switch
I honestly didn't think changing my alarm would make much difference, but I prefer this way more than my phone. It's quiet and the vibration is strong.
Mornings Feel Less Rushed
I like waking up without a loud ringtone suddenly going off. The vibration feels much more peaceful, and the band is easy to set before bed.
Doesn't wake everyone else
My old phone alarm would wake up my whole room. now I get my own alarm without disturbing anybody else. the vibration is really noticeable.
Better Than I Expected
I was skeptical about whether a vibration would actually wake me up. After trying it, I was surprised by how strong it feels. It's also much easier to use than I expected.
So Much Better Than My Phone
I switched from using my phone and I'm really happy I did. I like keeping my phone farther away at night, and the bracelet is incredibly simple to use.
Perfect for Early Classes
I have early classes and hated hearing the same loud phone alarm every morning. This feels much more peaceful, and the vibration is definitely strong enough for me.
A Calmer Start to Day
I used to wake up feeling stressed whenever my phone alarm went off. The bracelet is much calmer, and the vibration is still strong enough to wake me.
My Mornings Feel Better
I didn't realize how much I disliked being startled awake by my phone until I switched to this. The vibration feels much more peaceful, and I really like using it.
A Small Change That Helped
I didn't expect switching my alarm to make much difference, but I definitely prefer this. Waking up feels calmer without a loud ringtone suddenly filling the room.
Quiet Alarm, Strong Vibration
I wanted something that wouldn't make noise but would still be noticeable. This does that. The vibration is strong, and I like having 10 different alarms i can use
Does what its supposed to greatly
One of the biggest reasons I switched was because my phone alarm kept waking up my partner. Now I ca
Honest about who this is for.
We'd rather you know now than after you've paid.
For you if
- You share a room or home and wake at a different time
- You're a light or normal sleeper
- You want a first alarm that doesn't wake anyone else
Maybe not for you if
- You regularly sleep through smoke alarms, loud clocks and people shaking you
- You want an alarm that's guaranteed to wake anyone. No alarm is.
Heavy sleeper? Wear it as your first alarm and keep your phone as backup. Read our heavy-sleeper page

Still wondering? Ask a real person
Is it a good gift?
It's one of our favorite uses: for a partner who sleeps through alarms, or a son or daughter heading to college. The 30-day guarantee still applies.
Is it for kids?
We design and market Sotto for adults. If you're buying for an older teen, you know best whether it suits them.
I'm a heavy sleeper. Will it work for me?
Honestly, it depends: some heavy sleepers find vibration alone isn't enough. Use it as your first alarm, with a phone alarm a few minutes later as backup.
How do I charge it?
The USB plug is built into the band, so you unclip the strap and plug it into any USB port. That's why there's no cable in the box.
