I have the Fitbit Blaze and I really like the vibrating alarm. I have it set a few minutes before my phone alarm. It always wakes me up so I have time to pick up my phone and kill the alarm before it wakes my wife. I also find I'm less "startled" by the vibration than the alarm sound (though using alarm sounds which increase in volume over time help that too).

This has been my experience as well... Coming out of deep sleep to a blaring alarm clock is about the worst case scenario. If I can get natural light or a vibrating alarm to "warn" me, I'm much more receptive to the strong alarm and able to become alert much more quickly. Right now, I don't have much control over ambient light, but I'd like to find a solution. I think that probably means automatically opening window shades in the summer (anyone tried this?) and, since I live in Seattle, a 10 KW spotlight rigged to a timer in the winter...
