Probably a lipoly battery this size would work.
That sounds super dangerous. I would not put a lipoly battery on my arm. No thank you, I'll take my chances with another battery type.
This must be a gag, or the worst example of western opulence I could possibly think of. Seriously, an electronic gadget made to disrupt your day every 5 minutes. I think this requires a better explanation of the purpose before I take it seriously. Right now all the marketing speak combined with the banality of this device makes me think it's the perfect april fools but a few months too soon. Let's assume it's for rea…
I think you're misunderstanding the experience. I'm sure it would seem interruptive the first few times. But after that, it would become familiar. If you've ever lived near a clock that ticks or chimes, it eventually becomes part of the background, a subtle reminder of the flow of time. Your approach to consciousness, to get lost in pleasant things and to be oblivious of unpleasant things, is one way to be. But other…
I slept right through it. Always.

The girl could do with a lot less arm hair though
Looks fun but could get irritating as a constant reminder, also I would be confused with my phon'es vibration. The girl could do with a lot less arm hair though
Anybody that wants one of these: this looks like it would be /trivially/ easy to build. An attiny85 and a vibration motor would do it. The only "hard" part would be fitting a battery in this form factor. Go to your local hackerspace during some open hours, and tell the hackers you want to build one of these. I bet they'll do it with you! (Hell: I'LL do it with you if you come down to heatsync labs [in Phoenix])
I was thinking that it would be easy to add this functionality to my pebble watch.
"Shivering unisex" must have done well in A/B testing.
