I need the level of the wax to go about 1-2 inches above the position of a watch . The warmth is for my wrist -- will this unit be deep enough?

Colleen, it will not go that high unless you lean your arm into it and it will not be even but the second time you could turn over your hand and do it...You might try using cotton strips dipped into it and then onto your wrist.

Sort of. I got mine for my wrist (after surgery) and I can get most of that area in. I dip as far as I can, then use a metal measuring cup to apply paraffin to coat that area more thoroughly. Another tip - use a meat thermometer to make sure it's the correct temp - my therapist recommends ~120 degrees.

If you have max amount of paraffin in base I think it will work well. I have problem with wrist as well and I submerge at an angle to lower wrist as deep in wax as I can.

I needed the same thing because as a Lmt, my wrists take a lot of abuse. I don't have big arms or hands. But the unit was still not deep enough. We both need something where we can put our hands in from the top of the unit rather than the side of the unit. The bigger units which contain about 6 pounds of wax should do the trick. While it is true that you could cover your wrist if 1) there is an ample supply of wax, 2) you use a metal cup to scoop the wax onto your wrist 3) submerge the hand/wrist at a weird angle to make it work, and 4) keep dipping and turning your hand over a few times -- all of this extra effort isn't worth it. Soaking our hands/wrists should be hassle free, but with this unit it is not. Update: I returned the unit and within two days, my cc account has been refunded. Amazon has always been great to me when it comes to returns, which I don't do often. I am very grateful for Amazon's awesome return policy. Thank you Amazon.

I have bought a small stainless steel ladle to dip & pour multiple layers over wrist, after breaking it in 3 places, recovering with the help of this! the paraffin peels right off the ladle when dry to recycle. of course, only pour from ladle onto arm/wrist over unit!

I doubt it, its very shallow. I had to cut a good portion of the back away just to fit an Apollo Interface in there. it looks bigger than it is. I would go the next size up, especially depth size.

No, for big watches it is to tight a fit. Better for small or medium size watches but not watches with a "big" face.

I would imagine it will. Look on the back of your watch, see if there are indents on the outer edge of the watch. If these indents are there this tool should work, your watch back has to be at least 1" in diameter. you will adjust the tool by turning a wheel in the center top of tool and also turning the handle. This will line the posts up with the indentations on the watch. insert posts in indents press and turn. (it's really very easy)

Yes, the band is designed so it has holes for the clasp on almost all the band. The watch itself is not completely flat. it is about 1.5" long, then it turns downward at about 30 degrees for another .75 inches. The .75 inch extension is where the control button is and where the watch plugs into the docking station.

I think you should be able to use it in with the wax warmer but I do have a couple concerns. I don't know how hot the warmer gets so you may find the wax gets too hot or not hot quickly enough. My wax warmers are pro and have variable heat settings. Before putting the wax on your more sensitive areas, test it on your wrist to check the temperature and avoid scalding yourself. Also, you will need to hold onto an SH tin so you have a container for the wax. Honestly, I was in need of a waxing a few months back and had the beads at home and no warmer so placed them in a container and microwaved. The wax initially was too hot but once it cooled it was fine. I did have to put it in the microwave one more time to finish the job but it beat waiting until I went back into my office. So yes... I think it is worth a try. Hope this helps!

1/2" get a towel wrap the shower arm and a pair of pliers slowly tighten and loosen until you get the depth you need

No its not 2inchesbut in depth. Maybe a 1/4 inch, definately less than half an inch

I measured it when I got it (to find other spots it could be used) and best I could get was 2.5" depth in from the edge.Due to the way the bottom is (basically the turn-hande and the actual stopper piece at the end), it's not easy to measure like it would be if it were a flat metal piece.. Possible just over 2.5", but definitely right in that area.

mine is still sticking there with my nuvi 50 Garmin on it. I don't understand the depth question. Great product!

I'm not sure if that would work. I don't think it would get the wax hot enough.

I'm not sure what the actual degree of thinness is, the dial doesn't have settings of dimension. You can dial it thin enough for French dip beef.

You definetly will not hear the unit running. It sits very low to the floor. It's a bit long, maybe 48 inches but you should see those specs in the description. It puts out some very warm and soothing heat. You will not be disappointed in this unit, and no one will know why you are the warmest person in the building.

I used it for a Casio, it is somewhat adjustable in depth. I highly recommend this stand, I was going to get a smaller one, and if a smaller one tipped over, the Casio would be toast. So instead of buying a cheap one and then an expensive one, I just bought the expensive one, which is very heavy and heavy duty. Glad I did it, hope you do too!

Yes it is deep enough. My hair is about mid back and I use rollers with plenty room. Just know it's very very noisy. The temperature feels more like 1100 instead of 1875 and height adjustment is minimal. Hope this helps!

I wish I knew the right answer, because of how sensitive watch parts are, I would rather you ask a watch jeweler. I do use it for sensitive jewelry pieces.

it measures the hottest temp IMO it can detect. so it shouldn't matter how deep as long as you get to the area you want to measure
