Spec me: A watch

[Lakeland]

Random request as I have lost the will to live tonight. At work I've got to time what I do to the minute and it can be hard checking your watch or a clock every few minutes while you're teaching.

I'm in need of a watch which I can program to vibrate at specific times in the day, roughly 16 alarms in total.

Each day would be a repetition apart from the weekend. Ideally I'd prefer it if the watch could turn the alarms off for Sat/Sun but I could make do with taking the watch off for the weekend.

This is the best that I can come up with, I'm not a watch snob but I'd prefer something just a little more stylish Budget wise £40-70?

Oh I'm going to watch this thread, I've just been hired to my first school from my PGCE placement and they don't have bells - needless to say I was looking at my watch for the whole time to ensure that I got the students out at the right time!

Sarcasm meter just blew up, thanks!

the rrp is out of budget but the Sony Smartwatch might be worth stretching to. just use your Android phone to set up all the alarms you need

'Think of the noisiest places, the quietest places and the busiest places you have been. How many times have you missed an important call, message or other notification because you couldn’t hear the tone or it wasn’t appropriate to be checking your phone?'

That's what the vibrate function is for Sony.

Just use a phone?

Which phone doesn't have this function now a days. Or better yet, put a reminder into your work calendar.

I'd just use my phone on vibrate in my pocket. Job done.

Phone would be much easier.

Yeah this. From the Nokia 6600 in 2004 onwards, the mobile phone became my watch.
