Amazing Idea, Poor Design
Oh man I did not want to have to do this but I feel like it’s for the best. I originally found this product looking for the solution to my sleeping in problem. Setting 12 alarms to wake up in the morning was getting insane. When I found the pavlok I was hooked. Between my poor eating habits, my sleeping habits, my flesh tearing nail biting habit I knew this was for me. For 300 dollars and 3 reviews I was fairly skeptical. The device can pack a punch on higher levels and the app was fairly straight forward to pair and use. But sadly 15 mins in to owning the device the very poor plastic frame that holds the device crumbled in my hand. Honestly I could probably just email them and ask for a new one like others have and I appreciate the option. But spending 300 dollars for something that cheap feeling and looking just doesn’t feel right. I really wanted this to happen. If they come out with a series 3 that doesn’t beat you over the head with such a big price tag and a better frame (just the frame I actually really liked the magnetic band) I would feel way better about owning one and would even pre order it. But for now I just have to do things the hard way and just wrap a rubber band to my wrist and strike myself every time I want some sweeeeet milky ways. Maybe get one of those alarm clocks you have to chase or something idk. Hopefully someone who developed this actually reads it.

Defective (absent hand-detect capabilities, inconsistent shocking)
I have a hair pulling condition (trichotillomania) and I am quite desperate to resolve it after 15+ years of failed therapy and medication. I purchased this device because I am not a "conscious" puller; I pull when I am sleeping, and even when I'm awake it is like scratching an itch, so I was very much counting on the device to be able to tell me when my hand was where it shouldn't be. I even went so far as to reach out to the inventor of the product to confirm that the product indeed has hand-detect capabilities, which he assured me it did.So I got it in, downloaded the app, set everything up...only to find hand-detect did not work. I am guessing the gyroscope is damaged (or nonexistent?). In addition to missing the main feature I purchased this piece of technology for, it was also inconsistent in shocking even when manually pressing the device as instructed - it only worked about half the time. My significant other wanted to try it and he couldn't get it to shock him at all, and the same thing happened with my friend who was interested to try (maybe their skin wasn't as conductive as mine? No idea!).Without hand-detect, this item does not help me. If you are getting it for any other purpose, know that it packs a punch and may be able to do what you want it to, but you must have the discipline to shock yourself...and at that point, this is basically functioning as a very expensive rubber band.When Pavlok puts out a product that can consistently and reliably do hand-detect, I will be all over it. Unfortunately, I personally feel that this is just a very expensive prototype. It is tragically not the answer to my disorder, and I am returning it.

Poor Quality / Replaced 3 times
I purchased the Pavlok 1 a while back. I enjoyed it for the time, until the device stopped working. I have no idea as to why because I only wear it to sleep. I requested a replacement, but unfortunately was not able to reach a representative to fix the problem.Thank you Amazon for offering me at least something for the problem.The pavlok 1 was no longer available to purchase. I was constrained to buying the pavlok 2 for more money.Don't get me wrong, I do love this product and see multiple benefits from it.After receiving the Pavlok 2, it worked great for a time until again it stopped working properly. The shock or "Zap" lost its touch. The power of the shock dulled down. I have tested this theory multiple times while checking every possible solution.Soon after the Pavlok 2 began to fall apart. The mechanical design of the device disassembled piece by piece.I believe in this company for making people's lives better, but personally I am disappointed. I have spent hours trying to find a representative to fix the problem and this will be the 3rd time I have had to replace this item.I soon hope to have a product that I can rely on, but until then I am stuck with a broken piece of equipment.

Fourth change of review - ok you have to buy the rubber wrist band
New review:Ok I bought the $15 rubber wristband from their website and it works awesome. I also got an email saying that they were going to stop shipping it out with the crappy metal one from my other review. So maybe in the future you’ll get the $15 rubber one free with your purchase. Other than the wristband the devise works just as advertised. I would have sent it back if it wasn’t for the new wristband.I've had this for less than a week and a half and the first wristband broke in less than 2 hours (see below) and the new one they sent me isn't much better. Just had to look around on the floor for the tiny pin that holds it together for the third time in four days. Great idea for a product and it's working but $300 and they put a $3 wristband on it that keeps falling apart. Not even doing anything strenuous, I'm sitting at my desk at work. It's a shame!!!Old review:The wrist band on the first one I got broke with less than 2 hours use. The company sent out a new one that same day and I have had no issues with the new one. The wrist band is a little awkward but it does allow for the contacts to be positioned closely to your skin for the best results. I’ve only used the button on the device to administer the shock. I can’t comment on how the hand motion function works. The app is ok and does give some information and videos on how to beat whatever habbit you’re trying to break. At 100% on a decent charge it is more than enough of a zap to get your attention. I’m glad I bought it, so far I believe it is working. It’s not going to cure a lifelong issue in a few days so you have to stick to their plan and really work on it.

Just a like a prank toy my 8 year old daughter plays with
I did like it for first week but after that doesn’t work or I just got used at getting zapped at a 100% strength.The price is way to high for the product it shouldn’t be more than $30 it’s not worth it

La vida util, la duracion es pesima (4 meses)
He estado usando el articulo casi a diario, para despertarme, durante los cuatro meses que lo he tenido y me ha funcinado perfectamente. La descarga es generosa, no hace daño, pero si molesta bastante.La aplicacion no es muy buena, pero se puede usar.La duracion, es lo peor, la compre en abril, y a principios de agosto (cuatro meses) ya no me funciona. Por el dinero que cuesta no deberia ser asi.NO RECOMIENDO SU COMPRA

It works if you want it to
I genuinely really like this product. I have been struggling with eating junk food all my life and it seemed I tried everything. I tried pavlok and it was great! the setup was really easy on my iPhone and everytime I consider eating something junky, I shock myself back into my senses. As long as you have the desire to stop what you're doing, the pavlok will do the rest of it for you! Just push the button and see the difference.

Función
Me sirivió demasiado, nunca podía levantarme en la mañana y ahora puedo levantarme perfectamente. El shock es la perfecta intensidad como para levantarte y no incomoda para nada la pulsera en la mano.

Rompedor de malos hábitos!
Para despertarme intente: cafe sobre el buro, castigarme no comiendo nada en todo el día, distintas alarmas. Al final solo pavlok funciono, o te levantas o te electrocuta!
