I'd like to get this for my father to use as a medication reminder. If he wears it will it accidentally.turn off easily?

It has a small lock switch on the side so you can't accidentally stop it. But it's not programmable

If he were to keep it in his pocket rather than on the string AND if the yellow button is pressed it will stop, of course.

there is a switch to lock it,..if you LOCK the timer, no..it won't turn off easily. I use mine every day for lab testing and it's never turned off by accident.

You can lock the keys. He will have to remember to unlock the keys in order to turn the alarm off. Unless you are setting it every day, I don't think this would be the solution for your medication reminder.

I'm also looking at this as a wearable reminder for my senior Mother. She is someone that gets frustrated with the fancy cable remote for TV. When she takes her shots and medicine, does she have to reprogram the whole thing to remind her in 4 hours? Every 4 hours she needs a shot and/or medicine. Be nice if she had a 2 step sequence to reset it. This button , then press 4 ...ex.

I have carried it in my pants pockets without a problem. You can only set one alarm at a time on this timer.

It all depends on whether he bumps it. Also depends on his hearing. When I am using it as a timer and bump it, there is always a beep. I look to see if I've stopped the count or not. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

It is not removeable. But if you choose not to wear it, it does not make diference.

You can turn it off however it is really a piece of junk and don't recommend you to buy it. It is made in China if that tells you anything.

I don't use the reminder as I keep the little daily pill box in my pocket and use my iPhone reminders for everything I need to do. The red/green visuals have been a help to me and the empty space (in my pocket) is also a clue to me. When I first got this I believe I read that you don't have to get up to turn it off and it will still go to the next alarm time. I really like where I placed it so that I walk by and can readily see if I'm good.

I do not think this can be turned on accidentally. In my opinion, it would be very hard to do. The on button is in the top of the light and it has to be pushed with certain pressure that you would have to make an effort.

Long time since I had mine but from memory it is motion that sets it off, like picking up the bike. If you put to cover on before activating it should be OK.

I wouldn't wear this to work, it's not designed to be a casual watch and it isn't the right size or design for sure. The watch will turn off after a certain amount of time out of the water (20 minutes if I recall correctly).The Suunto D4i and D6i would be better for casual wear.

I left mine on all day all night. It was gooey when I removed mine the next morning. So for me, "no". If one is just wearing it for couple hours, yes!

I bought this for my daughter who says that because it also acts as a regular watch you cannot turn it off. The GPS is only activated when in "run mode" so that can be deactivated but overall cannot be turned off. Hope that helps?

You can also keep the "Power" button pressed and it will change the setting. That should keep it from wearing it out. (hopefully)

Really. It should turn off by itself. Best to contact manufacturer. However, I must say this product isn't easy to use.

It's not awkwardly large, and it's very light, so I would think that most seniors could comfortably wear it around the neck as intended. I agree with the suggestion not to program 911 though; in fact I don't plan to program my mother's pendant for autodial at all - just seems too easy to accidentally dial. If she uses it, it will be only to allow her to quickly answer a call until she has a chance to get to the nearest handset.

Yes. I bought one for my GD for her second birthday and she has no problem turning it on or off. Be conscious of placing it in the case properly as there is a clear Perspex bar under the screen which prevents the button's operation!!!!! It is a good, solid product.

Yes you can turn it off. You have to do it in the settings. I think you can do it for 1, 2 or 5 minutes.

If it sounds, anyone can turn it off. Not sure what purpose it would serve when you are not present. The battery probably would not last several hours.

I haven't actually timed it but my guess is that it shuts itself off in about two hours. For my use in walking the dog and having it on at the fitness center I don't find this to be a problem and actually a good feature in the event you forget to turn it off. There is no warning and I don't know if this feature can be turned off. Ooooops, I learned something from the response by Walter.

it is just a little strap to put around your wrist it has no effect on the functioning of the device. you can remove it without any problems.
