Fact: Everybody feels queasy on the water at some point. To quote PMY editor-in-chief Richard Thiel, “There are only two kinds of boaters; those who have been seasick and those who will be.” While some of us find ourselves praying to the Porcelain God more often than others, the FDA-approved ReliefBand should help everyone enjoy a nausea-free cruise, without drowsiness or drug-like side effects or interference from enjoying food and drink.

The device features five user-controlled power levels, an adjustable cloth band, a replaceable coin-cell battery (included), a low-battery indicator, and an on/off button. It relieves motion sickness using a “gentle, noninvasive stimulation on the underside of the wrist.”

The company’s claim held true when I tested the device on a recent fishing trip in Florida, once I began to feel queasy. Although the device’s stimulation made my hand tingle even on the lowest setting, within minutes of strapping it to my wrist I felt fine, giving the ReliefBand an edge over medications that must be taken before you leave the dock.

The ReliefBand is available through a number of marine retailers and from the company’s Web site and costs from $70 to $90.
