My Fitbit charge hr (latest version) does exactly this and I love it. The only trick is that having an alarm on your wrist means that the snooze button is always within reach.

Is this the charge 2? I think there's only one version of "charge HR".

  Well, I own a fitbit charge 2 and one reason I bought it was the vibration alarm clock. It's a very light watch and I don't mind having it on my arm while sleeping. You define multiple alarms on your desktop/mobile, for specific weekdays, synced with bluetooth and you can disable/enable each one of them on the watch, which I really like. But there are some minor problems with this watch: 1) the vibration alarm is not very strong. If I have an important meeting, I use a fallback alarm clock. There are various complaints on fitbit forums. 2) The alarm lasts only 15 secs and it repeats 2 (or 3?) times after 9 minutes. Unfortunately you can't change this behaviour. Moreover, when I'm dizzy I sometimes confirm the alarm and fall back asleep, which happens too easily while lying in bed... 3) other topic, but annoying: the watch is not waterproof so always keep a fallback alarm. but otherwise it's a great watch.

    The Charge HR does exactly that, but doesn't do any effort WRT alarm during light sleep (dunno about Charge 2)

I've been using my Fitbit Charge HR as my primary alarm for almost 2 years now and it works great. I also use it to set alarms as reminders if I have an important meeting or event.

  I wish there were fewer steps to set alarms. I'd love to be able to say "ok google, vibrate my watch in 20 minutes".

Nice comment, never thought about the problem of an easy to reach snooze button. A friend of mine had an alarm that started to roll on the floor :-)

  For early morning plane flights and the like I set a second loud alarm across the room.

They don't do alarms for when you're in light sleep. It will only ring at a certain time.
