> A vibration motor would have been even better,

The best alarm clock I've ever had is a smartwatch that does this vibrating. No more stupid digital screaming. Just a nice gentle tapping pattern on my wrist, and then a fading bit of music. I'm usually awake and hitting stop before the music really starts.



Same, except I wear this: https://www.amazon.com/Timex-T49950-Expedition-Shock-Vibrati...

It's a "dumb" Timex watch, but also vibrates. So you get that same nice gentle vibrating without any "smart" alerts.


I have the smaller older variant of the Timex Explorer and is still my most worn out of my whole collection despite its ugliness since it's by far the most useful due to the vibration alarms, great UX and features. Shame they don't make it anymore and has only been replaces with this gigantor edition.
