I need recommendations for wristwatches with alarm functionality and strong vibration to help me wake up in the mornings and not miss appointments. If possible, I prefer a smartwatch.

I’ve tried several popular smartwatches in stores.
Except for the Samsung Watch Ultra, I didn’t find strong vibration on most brands and models. However, I didn’t buy the Ultra because it’s too big and uncomfortable to wear while sleeping.

The Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro was better than the others, but still not strong enough.

That’s why I need your alternative suggestions, excluding Apple products.

I use my Apple Watch which allow to adjust vibration strength. I also did a quick Google search and found this info. Apologies if you have already tried all these suggestions.

7 Best Alarm Watches to Wake You Up in Style and Precision …
For a strong vibrating alarm, consider the Timex Men’s Expedition Shock XL Watch or the Casio G-Shock GD350-8. Both are known for their powerful vibrations and rugged designs, making them suitable for heavy sleepers or those needing a reliable wake-up. The Apple Watch is also a good option, especially if you already own one, and allows you to adjust vibration intensity.

When it comes to technology if you exclude Apple products you are just going to have to settle for inferior products in many areas.

I use my Garmin Instinct. I can’t gauge its strength since I have not had an opportunity to compare other watches, but it works for me.

I wear a Garmin Vivoactive 4. It’s a lifesaver when traveling. At home, I have a cheap bedside clock from Amazon that has a bed shaker. It’s about the size of a puck and goes under the mattress. Works well if I don’t want to wear my watch to bed. The Garmin works well as a smart watch. I’m an Android user.

Another vote for Garmin.

I have a Garmin Forerunner 945LTE and it is the only alarm I use (and I am definitely not a morning person so need something to get my attention to wake up!)

Garmin has very broad range of fitness, wellness, running, sports, outdoor activity etc watches.

Find one that works for your lifestyle.

They have “what will you do with this watch selector65”

As an added bonus I also use my Garmin Watch to accept / reject calls (phone calls are still handled by your phone and hearing aids)

Most Garmin watches run for a week (and often much more for some outdoor activity models) without needing a charge.

As a Smart Watch I get call, text and other phone notifications on my Garmin Watch.

Amazfit Bip is a great smart watch for Android phone users. The alarm works well. Charging only needed once a fortnight.
