I don't think you'd feel the vibration with it in your pocket. I

sometimes set it to vibrate and put it in my pocket (at hip level on

my pants) and can't feel it. That's why I leave it on beep during the

day. Once at a loud party, I didn't hear the beep either, but I have

not tried setting the beep to the loudest setting.

I think a vibrating watch would be much better for your work hours. I

have a Vibralite 3 (VL 300), which has only 2 alarm settings. There

might be better ones for what you need - see below.

> Will the alarm continue to vibrate until you turn it off

No. It vibrates for maybe 10 or so seconds. I just checked the

instruction sheet and there are settings to increase the vibration

speed (but apparently not length), loudness of beeps and number of

beeps (up to 6 each time the alarm sounds). I do not know of any way

you can make the IC vibrate and beep - it just does one or the other.

I put it in my pocket. I have not had any trouble with buttons being

accidentally pushed. I also have keys, cell phone and several packet

of pills in there sometimes. You have to hold a button for 3 seconds

to get into the alarm setting mode.

I strap it on with a stretchy headband I bought at the drug store.

Even with the band crossing over some of the buttons, I have not had

trouble with the buttons being pushed accidentally.

The biggest trouble I have with it is if I drop it, the little cover

for the battery compartment tends to fly off and the battery comes loose.
