Normal watch with vibrating alarm

newportlad

Hi all, I’m looking for a normal Casio type watch that has a good vibrating alarm. I own an Apple Watch currently but fed up with having to charge it every 1.5 days or so.

Would be grateful if anyone could recommend a watch to me

Would this model fit the bill?

Maybe Im outta the loop but wouldn't a "normal watch" that vibrates not basically run the the battery so fast you might as well stick with a smartwatch?

If there isn't such a thing try the Mi band series like €50 new and you get a good 7 days charge out of them

+1 on a miband, I get 10days + between charges on mine and it recharges in under 30minutes.

God ya forgot how fast it charges too! Its in the drawer it was mams but if I remember it did nearly 7 days with heart rate on continuous so if you turned that off could probably get 10 like Banie

If you find one pleas post as I'm a bit tired of m smart watch. Only reason it's still worn is the vibrating alarm and the battery is 7-10 days. Have decided the whole smart watch thing is not for me.

I went looking a few years back. Before I got my smart watch. All I could find at the time were digital displays no analogue.

I got a Casio G-Shock GD-350 exactly for this reason. Struggled to get one with normal (not negative) display. Big watch but very comfortable strap. Think it's replaced with the GD-400 but not loving that. But you'll still find the 350 online.

Timex also do a few vibration watches. Nearly got one of those because Casio doesn't do a UK date display on most of its watches. Didn't love most of the Timex, perhaps they've a different range now.

These days I mostly use a Samsung Galaxy Watch, the older bigger 46mm one. Has a 4 day ish battery life depending how you use it. I'll get 1.5 if I leave the display on all the time, or using it for exercise tracking.

The Casio I still use for DIY and swimming. But I like wearing it.

Timex have a TW4B24200 for example

Get a better smart watch maybe. Garmin instinct solar is a fantastic smart watch and it'll do 30 days easily between charges. If you turn off a lot of the smart stuff then you can double, triple or quadruple that run time and over the summer when you get a solar boost it can almost literally go forever.

I moved from one to a fenix 7x solar and that has a very impressive battery as well but it's a lot dearer than the Instinct. Got mine in the post 3rd of December at 80% charge. Still haven't plugged it in to charge and it's reading 13% / 4 days still left.

Seiko Bellmatic?

Have worn mine loads and never needed charging.
