> Waking up to a vibrating watch on your wrist still beats by far annoying iPhone alarms blasting full volume while you are half asleep.

or you could use one of those apps that track whether you're in REM sleep or not and wake you up when most appropriate..

A big advantage of a vibrating watch is not waking your partner at the same time.

Apps like SleepCycle that just use the accelerometer data are not as good as wristbands, especially if you're sleeping with somebody. I still have an WakeMate, but the app expired and they didn't opensource it, so it's useless :(

do you leave a sound on in case the battery dies?
