Alarm clock with day of week

A really random one.

I need something to send in with DS to school that will beep at 10am on a Monday and 11am on a Tuesday. Ideally it would live in his tray in the classroom.

I can't find anything that exactly fits the bill. I think my options are give him a cheap alarm clock, where we set the time by hand, and pray that he'll remember to take it out of his bag (unlikely) or give him a vibrating watch that goes off at 10am and 11am every day of the week.

Oops sorry posted too soon.

It's a bit of a longshot but I wondered if anyone has any genius solutions to this? He can't take a phone and anyway the battery would keep running out so I think it needs to be a clock or watch.

I’m not sure the teacher would be on board with that... Hmm

A Fitbit or similar would do this.
I presume the cheap versions would too. You can set vibration alarms - many for each day and at different times using an app on your phone. You then sync to the wrist device, which will buzz at those times.

Interested in this thread?

Presumably it's a reminder for something like medication or similar, so I suspect the teacher might find it preferable to the alternative...

One of those wrist fitness bands might do this. I think my Fitbit does. Then he could always have it on him.

Wouldn't disturb anyone else- they might hear a slight vibration, but not disturbing like a clock alarm.
Once set up, it would do the same alarms every week.

A cheap smartwatch would do it. I have an Amazfit Bip and I have it set for all kinds of reminders / timers. It costs about £60 and looks like an apple watch. There are cheaper versions.

Interesting. I'd ruled out a Fitbit or similar because mine buzzes regularly if I got a milestone or haven't moved that hour etc. Or could I turn all those off do you think?

Off to look up smart watches. Smart alarm clocks seem to be available now but they are £££ for something we'd be leaving in school.

I think you can turn off all Fitbit notifications- but keep the alarms on.

Thank you. That could work.
