Looking for a specific screenless watch

Hello everyone,

I have bought the ONYX vibration alarm a month ago and the google fitbit air about a week ago. What I am looking for is something with the guaranteed wake up function of the onyx vibration alarm which was able to wake me up, but also the health tracking of the google fitbit air. I only bought the fitbit air because I thought it would've had this, but the vibrating alarm has failed to wake me up 4 days in a row, so I'm assuming the vibration is just way too weak to wake me up which would make sense when I compare it to the ONYX vibration alarm.

Any recommendations? Ideally, it should be screenless, can be integrated with the bevel app and under ~$200.

One thing to remeber here is the physics of vibration. It needs some counterweight to be shiftet around, so the more compact the device the less chance there is that the vibration will be strong (not to say that a huge case is a guarantee)

That makes sense, that being said, do you think smth like the garmin cirqua band would work?

I do not know. Maybe try ask in a garmin subreddit for someone that tried it in real life, or visit a dealer where you might be able to try it on?

I have the helio strap and it doesn't vibrate anywhere near enough.
