Can it vibrate for an alarm and is the vibration strong enough to wake you up?

There's a great app for Pebble called Gentle Wake that uses the accelerometer to sense when you're moving in your sleep. It lets you set an amount of time before your alarm in which it can go off if you start moving around, the theory being that you move around in lower levels of sleep and you'll be less groggy if it wakes you then instead of in the middle of deeper sleep. I have mine set for 20 minutes and it wakes me within those 20 minutes about 60% of the time. The other 40% it just goes off at the regular time I set. I love it.

Yes, and yes, it is strong enough to wake you up. (at least for me it is) I imagine that wrist is generally sensitive enough to feel the vibration from the watch.

Yes, it can. It cannot beep, it can only vibrate. Vibration is strong enough, it wakes me up just fine.

Not for me. I'm a very sound sleeper, but the vibration is strong enough to get my attention during the day.
925617
yes and I guess it depends on how sound you sleep. It wakes my husband up, no problem

You can't. I was not happy to find that out. I am not happy with that non-option. The 3 sounds they do provide are not what I would typically use to try to wake. The charge port also broke on mine within days of buying it. I want to return it.

Yes I went home and tested it and it can be used as a alarm clock for morning wakeup.

Yes. I think so. The only problem I see is if the animal is so light and/or light on foot that it does not make a vibration to set off the alarm. I have cats and it is somewhat the problem.

Yes you can wake to the sounds or the radio or a beeper. The wake-up sounds start at zero volume then slowly increase to a predetermined upper volume level. Then there is a snooze (with variable settings) or any button will turn the alarm off. There are a lot of complexities to all the features, but it's okay once you get used to it. I recommend this product.

Hi Amy, The alarm was loud enough to wake my husband and I up from across the hall, but my son slept right through it every time. We'd have to go wake him up. Quite honestly the alarm is so loud and so close to his ear I was concerned about hearing damage. You really don't want an alarm louder than this one. The volume is adjustable.

I haven't tried it for an alarm but keep it on for the clock. It is a really marvelous speaker and I am so glad I purchased it.

It is very loud, almost scary loud. It will wake you but keep those batteries fresh so that the alarm will do its thing. If batteries weak, the alarm is short and also weak

I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for an alarm clock, it is nice for a very light portable sd card music player, my primary use for it.

No alarm but it should have at least vibrate after one hour of inactivity i'd much rather have this feature than a longer battery life. Need something to keep me going. one hour vibrate , hour and a half, maybe even vibrate at two hours & that's it

@ Norma, yes you can feel the vibration. You can also set the intensity of it. 0-100.

Yes. I have used it. There is a lag of about 5 seconds before alarm goes off after weight is removed

No. I have a subwoofer and listen to loud music and movies sometimes. It has never triggered the alarm in the 5 years I've had it. It's easy to adjust the dial on the front of the device to ring only for significant quakes.

Yes, although I thought the directions were a little confusing at first. This clock is a tidy little item on the bedside table, but to tell the truth, I don't use it for an alarm anymore. If you have a smartphone, subscribe to Pandora radio and use the alarm feature there. Wake up to the music of your choice.

Yes you can set it to the nature sounds to wake you and it will slowly get louder. There are three options to use for the alarm. Nature sounds, beeping and the radio all gradually get louder as they are on. You can set how loud you want it to get too.

Yes, it does. It is explained in the manual (in the Setting Vibrate Alarm section) and you can download the manual from http://www.swimovate.com/downloads/.
