Check-in vibrations

You can set up vibrations on your watch that remind you to log a Check-in. These gentle cues help you make check-ins part of your daily routine. 

Prolonged Stress vibrations

• You will feel these vibrations via the NOWATCH when you’ve been under sustained stress for 5 minutes or longer. 
• These are gentle body cues that help you notice when your body has been in a stress response for an extended period. They are designed to support awareness and help you regulate in the moment.
• A vibration can trigger when stress lasts 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the duration you select.

Random vibrations

• These are gentle reminders throughout the day to log a Check-in and reflect on how you’re feeling, regardless of your emotional or stress state. 

• Random vibrations occur between 10:00 and 18:00.

• They trigger up to the number of times you selected in the app.

You can enable one or both vibration types, depending on your preference.

Requirements for Check-in vibrations to work as expected

• Bluetooth must remain on to receive Check-in vibrations.

• Notifications should be enabled in the NOWATCH app.

• Keep the app open in the background to receive a Check-in notification on your phone when pressing the crown once.

• Prolonged Stress vibrations become available once your Reactivity Monitor is active and has gathered enough data.
