Does it vibrate for a text message? I know texts can't be read, but will it at least let the wearer know if he/she has received a text message?

Sorry but no it does not vibrate when you get a text. Only when you get a phone call and when you are too far from your phone.

No it vibrates for a phone message and when you get to far away from the phone.

It's similar to a phone on vibrate. It's more audible if left on a hard surface.

It does not vibrate. I bought this watch for because I landed on the page after searching for vibrating watches. I assumed it did vibrate without reading the description carefully. I ended returning it and bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GHLEMQ/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details The timex watch seems a unnecessarily bulky. A giant rim around the top could have been designed out of the watch to make it more slim. Also, a couple of the buttons on the watch I bought are a little hard to push in, but it has otherwise functioned well for a year without changing the battery. I have used it on average at least once per day if not more. I can't believe a vibrating feature is not more common across watches.

Hello, I checked my manual regarding phone alerts when text messages are received and I didn't find anything on the subject, I only found alerts for voice mail and link-to-cell capabilities. The phone may have text alert though so perhaps another buyer could assist you further. I'm sorry for any inconvenience on my behalf. Karyn

it does make a little noise when it vibrates. I haven't found a way to make it quieter. But if you wear the timer on your waistband, I am not sure they would hear it much. Otherwise it is a great product so far. I bought mine so that I could remember to time my blood sugar check after a meal (2 hour check) and when I remember to set this thing, it works good!

You cannot hear your message but you can hear the caller if the phone is set for call screening. Hope this helps.Amelia

Lori: Unfortunately, I never got a chance to find out if this device alerts to text messages. After charging the self-contained battery and pairing it to my cell phone, I put the bracelet on my wrist and eagerly dialed the cell phone. The supposed `vibrations' were so very weak as to be virtually undetectable. If this was the case when I was expecting the thing to be activated, I deemed it to be less than worthless. One of the very few items I've ever returned to Amazon. Been looking for a suitable replacement ever since. I definitely would not recommend this product!

Yes. That's what I got and it works. Sends texts when you arm or disarm. However, texts aren't consistant.

does this mean you can only use voice when text messaging? I should have my phone by august 3rd. Thanks!

No. It will give you a visual message on the screen, and you can also have it play a tone in the headset. There is no vibration unit in the MOTOACTV.

I agree with the other comments. I tried it from 15 feet away in a quiet room and could hear the vibrate only. It wasn't loud but could certainly be discerned by a client in a setting with little or no background noise. Hope this helps.

No it does not vibrate, and it protects your face from the bugs it is a big wind shield. The only problem I had was installing it I took it over to a local shop they put it on for me.

No it's only good for text and talk. I sent mine back because Email didn't work and the sound was horrible. I had to have it on speaker to hear anything.

Yes, and it vibrates when you receive a call. It also vibrates when it loses contact with your phone- ie if you forget your phone the watch will vibrate as you leave the area.

It does have vibrating features but I was unable to get mine to work so I sent it back!!!
