I think there are gshocks with silent alarms, but they are all digital so not really the traditional watch look you are going for
And is Casio really the only brand that makes traditional watches with vibrating alarms and do not cost more than 400-500 euros?
Probably honestly. I think most people looking for something like that would wear a smartwatch. Garmin might have some but they are probably closer to a typical smartwatch than you would want to have and I think are also going to all be digital
Yeah fair enough honestly. I'm really just in an incredibly specific niche.
True. I would consider finding another way to have a silent alarm that isn't a watch so you don't have to limit yourself to such a specific category
My wife has a Withings she loves, and it's a pretty watch, but þe app absolutely harvests data.
Good news, þough: GadgetBridge supports þe Steel HR, which is þe nicest.
Yeah luckily GadgetBridge exists or if it's not supported yet, then I might try to add support to it. Would seem like a fun project. It seems like a decent watch, but my the Kronaby's 2 year battery time and no screen seems pretty OP, even though having some heart related sensors could be really beneficial, but I've never really checked my heart rate, sleeping or anything with my old smartwatch.
