I made a free macOS app based on this technique: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/zentime/id1089216789?mt=12

This would be a killer Apple Watch app.

Who needs an Apple watch? Timex digital watches have been dinging every 60 minutes for decades.

Agree, especially with just a gentle vibrating reminder that turned itself off after a second. I've tried a few of these, and the problem they all suffer is obnoxiously intrusive notifications. It's not an alarm clock, if I miss one it's fine.

Agree, it's more about noticing whether or not you're focused than it is being forced into a workflow.
