I’m a minimalist and had a 20 dollar Amazon vibrating watch for a long time with. No issues, but I switched to an Apple Watch because it sends baby cam notifications, which is nice not having to have a phone on me all the time. My friend also has the shock clock and says it works for him.

Apple Watch vibrates. Or try finding more annoying alarm sounds/volumes on your phone. Worked for me!

I’ve found that even with an Apple Watch that the alarm vibration can be tough to feel the if you’re in the deep sleep portion of your rest from either being up too late adulting with the wife and/or friends or have been up with the kid throughout the night when he is sick. There are times when I’ve just had to set a separate alarm (to the wife’s chagrin). We also had our son in his own room early so we weren’t too worried about waking him up.

Apple watch! It has been so useful since I bought it. Definitely worth every penny.

My brother gave me this Xiaomi Band. He got for me when he visited China last year. I can say that it is a great alternative for the apple watch.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?
