Cheap Watch with Vibrating Alarm?

Lmistermr6 on 16/09/2018 - 09:29

I'm trying to find a cheap watch for nightly usage with the following:
* Decent vibrating alarm for morning wake-ups
* More than a couple of days battery life
* Ability to read time at night (wether via luminous dials or backlight or led)
* Smaller watchface preffered but price more important
* Budget under $30 but willing to consider stretching to $50 if it is something that I may end up wearing all day

Doesn't need any smart features or pedometer but no issues if it does. Don't mind if it is digital or analog or just a band. Previously had the Lenovo 9 but the vibrating alarm on that is very week. Doesnt need to be waterproof but will be a bonus. Currently using a old LG smart watch but it needs regular charging and I'm not using any of the smart features.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

      Had seen that via Google but all seem outside budget - don't mind the Timex as a splurge option but I have a small wrist.

        steroids?
        jazz mag?
        shake weight?

          Lol - I'm sure that will cost more than buying a smaller watchface 😊
          Currently have an LG Urbane looks and feels way too big, plus battery life isn't the best anymore.

    Xiaomi mi band. I have one for my son and it ticks all those boxes.

      Current front runner of what I've seen only annoyance is the charging requires it to be taken out of strap.

        Yeah that's true but his miband 2 only needs charging once a week or less, and it pops in and out real easy. I have the amazfit bip smartwatch and it only needs charging once a month if that, but it's a bit more expensive (still under $100 I think, I won both in ozbargain treasure hunt though so not sure).

      Does not vibrate. But still a great watch, I own one.

    Mi band 2 or 3. I use mi band 2 at night and gear S3 for day. My wife uses mi band 3 all day.

    • mistermr6 on 16/09/2018 - 18:32

      Thanks wife is likely to be using it as well so that feedback helps - how often does you wife need to charge hers?

      • jsb on 16/09/2018 - 20:49

        1-2 weeks, but its very quick in charging. in 15-20 min. takes up more than 50% charge

        oh, and I forgot to mention. Vibrating Alarm is good. if you still ignore it or just 1-2 taps to silent it, it will vibrate in every 10 min until you shut the alarm off by pressing for 5 sec.

          Thanks sounds like the winner!

      Already had one - liked the design but vibration is very weak and the alarm shuts of with very little movement.

    The Wobl watch is what we use:

      Thanks, looks like a useful alarm watch, however does this have a light or something to see time at night? Didn't see anything in features.

    Get one from Wish.com
    I got one from there. Paid about $10 from memory. It's a Cheap "Fitbit Knockoff."
    Battery lasts about a week. I use it every morning to wake me up on the Train. Does the job perfectly.
