The alarm is always going to wake the house. Is there anything else?

See if your will let you experiment with that. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Squizzy@lemmy.world [S] 7 points 2 years ago (2 children) That could be beneficial.

The Pebble I had and the Galaxy Watch 6 that I have right now vibrate with a subtle haptic-like feel which is subtle yet strong enough to wake you up. On the other hand, I had a cheap Garmin Vivoactive that would buzz really strong and be really loud. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago It's a nice option. I normally want it at max, but I turn it down if I'm going to sleep with it on my wrist. permalink fedilink source parent
