  1. I rarely carry my phone at home unless I'm also going to be outside.
  2. Washer can be variable on time and such (and mine's not even an IoT/"smart" one)

    Well if one's true then a smart washer doesn't help you anyway does it?

    My phone can send alerts to my watch up to like 30m away, so I would still get notifications anywhere inside and many places outside my house.

    Well congrats I bet it gets alarms from your phone too then.

    Not that I've found, actually. Certainly not on any that I set by default. Also, if I don't know how long the washer will run, I can't just set an alarm for it, now can I?

    Yeah brother get good. On both counts. I mean you know good and well you can get your alarm to sound from your phone to your watch. I can't sit here and let you pretend that's not possible. That's just sad.
