ReliefBand 1.5 works better for me
I'm a longtime user of the original ReliefBand because it's the best solution I've found to my chronic motion sickness. And it really did change my life--I can now enjoy travel on small planes, long car trips, boats etc in a way I never could with anti-nausea medications that always made me drowsy and dopey. I was really looking forward to this 2.0 version with a cleaner-looking design and rechargeable battery. But sadly, it just doesn't work that well for me. The rigidity and size of the "watch" face and band make the device very uncomfortable, and it's difficult to position the contacts over the exact spot needed. I find I need to be pretty precise to hit the spot. I know I have it when I can feel the "buzzing" up through my palm, and my thumb contracts inward in time with the pulses. Getting the contacts on the spot with this new version is hard, and getting it to stay there is almost impossible. I have small wrists, and that could be part of my problem with this version. Maybe they can address it in version 3.0. But for now, I'm very glad they're still making version 1.5, and have bought an extra of that one just in case.
