waterproof potty training watch

May 24, 2017 2:29 PM

Looking for a waterproof watch on which I can set 8 or 10 daily alarms.

My 6 year old has a weird medical issue that causes him to have sudden accidents if his bladder gets more than half full or so. He's taking meds for it and the problem is resolving, but in the meantime he needs frequent reminders to go to the bathroom.

He had a watch made specifically for this purpose that I could set 8 daily vibrating alarms on. It was great, EXCEPT that it was not at all waterproof, and it's hard for him to remember to try to keep it dry when he washes his hands, etc. (And not puke on it, you know. The usual stuff.) We've bought 3 of them in the last 6 months and they're all dead.

I can't find a waterproof watch with more than 5 alarms. Anybody know of one?

Thank you :)

Just as a workaround - if you can't find one, just buy two waterproof ones and set an alarm on your phone to change them out at lunch. Set morning alarms on one, afternoon alarms on the other.

I have a Fitbit Flex 2, which is not a watch but you can set unlimited vibrating alarms on it and it's waterproof.

I was going to suggest the fitbit flex 2 as well. You can buy a cheap pack of bands and pendants and such on Amazon.

Response by poster: Oh a fitbit! That is such a good idea. I could have bought one twice over with what I've spent on these stupid watches.

Thanks so much, you guys.

Fitbit Charge 2 may be overkill, but it is a watch.
