I need to get up without waking the wife and kids, I got a smartwatch to vibrate and it woke her. The alarm is always going to wake the house.

Is there anything else?

      On a similar note, the quality of the vibration motor also matters. 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.

      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.
