Tiptoe Band

For most people, yes. A buzz on your wrist is hard to sleep through because it's on your body, not across the room. Wear it snug on the inside of your wrist for the strongest feel.

If you're a very heavy sleeper, keep your phone alarm as a backup for the first few nights. And if it doesn't wake you, you get your money back.

It's made to be felt, not heard. There's no alarm tone at all. Like any vibration motor it makes a soft buzz up close, which is why wearing it snug on your wrist, not on the bedside table, matters.

With the one button on the band. There's no app and nothing to pair. Our plain-English setup guide walks you through setting the time and both alarms.

Pop the unit out of the strap and plug it straight into a USB-A port, like a laptop or a USB phone charger. The blue light flashes while it charges and stays on when it’s full. There's no wall plug in the box, so if all your chargers are USB-C, a small USB-C to USB-A adapter does the job.

Delivery is free and tracked, and usually takes 6–10 business days anywhere in Australia. Tiptoe is a small Australian business. The bands are made in China, like almost every wearable, and ship from our fulfilment partner overseas, which is why it takes a week or two rather than two days. You'll get a tracking link by email once it ships, and there's nothing extra to pay on delivery.

You have 30 nights to try it. If it doesn't wake you, email us for a full refund, with no need to post it back. If it develops a fault within 12 months, we'll replace it. All of this is on top of your rights under Australian Consumer Law.

The manufacturer doesn't publish a battery-life figure, so we won't make one up. It has a built-in 60 mAh rechargeable battery, and the display stays off until you press the button, which saves power. Hold the button any time to see the battery percentage. When it drops under 10%, the blue light blinks twice every 10 seconds to remind you to charge it.

It's a light, soft silicone strap that adjusts to your wrist. Wear it snug enough to feel, loose enough to be comfy.

The strap is soft silicone with a watch-style buckle and a row of holes, so you adjust it like a watch. If the fit doesn't work for you, that's covered by the 30-night guarantee.

The maker rates it for everyday splashes and sweat. It isn't made for swimming, showers or baths, so take it off for those, and make sure the USB end is dry before you charge it.

No. Everything is set on the band itself, so your phone can stay out of the bedroom.

Yes. Press the button and it shows the time. It also has a basic step counter, but we sell it for one job: waking you quietly.

Because Tiptoe is new. We started in September 2026, and we'd rather earn reviews than copy them from marketplaces or write our own. That's why the 30-night guarantee exists: try it, and if it doesn't work for you, you get your money back without posting it back.

No. Tiptoe is a vibrating alarm. It isn't designed to diagnose or treat anything, and it isn't a replacement for a smoke alarm, medical alert or safety system.
