All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look too much like a vibrator (sus).

This is the closest I got: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NNFPHXG https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CD7FPFQ5?th=1

If you have several hundred dollars to burn Apple has you covered. One of my favorite features of my watch honestly.

If only the battery lasted more than a day, day and a half tops…

I’ve had numerous watches, just because I need an alarm on me for medications (ranging from cheap $30 models, through Fitbit/athletic watches, up to the Apple watch), and they basically all have the vibration feature. The Apple Watch has probably the worst battery life of any of them I’ve tried, and I’ve tried really hard to extend it…

Some of the really dirt cheap ones you pair with the watch, set the alarms, then unpair (because they are cheap Chinese brands with all sorts of tracking if you use the app), and the battery on the watch is good for like a week. If you want to keep the shitty app running, or have a spare device to pair it with, you can change alarms on the fly.

Either way, I wouldn’t recommend an Apple Watch to someone who just wants a vibrating alarm. They are not good for that single use, unless you actually want all the other stuff it does and are fine with the crap battery life. Same with any major smart watch. If all you need is an alarm, they are super overkill and just one more thing to keep charged.

Most modern ones last long enough and charge fast enough that it’s barely ever been a problem. I just pop it on the charger when I shower at night and when I’m getting ready in the morning. It always lasts the day pretty easy for me

You sound like you don’t have adhd, which makes routines like that a problem. I do, which is why I don’t recommend things with short battery life.

I’m just saying that not everyone is great with “one more device to charge every day” when all they need is a vibrating alarm and there are options that don’t require that.

Yup. I had no idea it did that at first, so I was very surprised to find that out lol. It’s a fantastic feature to have though, and makes waking up less of a nightmare

My wife loves it more than I do because I get up about 2 hours before she does!

Why does it need to sync with your phone?

What’s the goal of connecting it?

As others have mentioned, I’d look for alarm clocks for deaf people. Many are in the $20 range but don’t do Bluetooth.

Might be kind of difficult to get to sleep with that inside you…

Unless that’s what you’re into I guess…

falling asleep is fine, getting good sleep is hard, waking up with a toy inside your now dry hole is rough

Ok I like to take coconut oil, the kind that’s a solid at room temp, melt it, and let it solidify in ice cube trays at room temp. Then, when I go to put a plug in long term, I pop a lube cube in first. Easy long term lubing

That’s why you set the alarm for relubrication.

I’d suggest these vibrating pads you get at some restaurants (you can pick up your order when the thing goes off). They’re crazy loud. Probably still loud if you put them under your pillow.

Kinda like this: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/JT-9303-OEM-Waterproof-Wireless-Transmitter_1600599278778.html?s=p&spm=a2706.7843667.0.0.66d34356eKubIC
