    i use a smartwatch (a cheap-ass huawei band) as an alarm.
    also has a bonus feature of not waking up 5 other family members.

      like, do you wear it while you’re sleeping even? or just on a charger pedestal

      I do have an old samsung Gear 2 that I don’t use anymore. Could use that and skip pairing to my phone. I just don’t wear smart watches, because I never wear a watch at all (blue collar industry habits, can’t wear any bands that might get caught in moving machinery)

        i just keep it on 24/7, even while showering/sleeping (i basically only take it off to charge, which it only needs once every 10-14 days for like 15 minutes).
        The vibro alarm thingy is surprisingly effective at waking me up! (somehow wakes me up even faster than traditional loud noise alarms)
        but yeah in your case i wouldn’t be very convinient
