*One* person with an hourly beep is almost tolerable. More than one in an office? Completely intolerable.
I have had a quiet word with colleagues who set their watches to beep, then a slightly louder word with their manager when they persisted. The Apple Watch vibrate is different -- it's not going to disturb anyone else. It also wouldn't be quite so bad were it noisy, because at least smart watches should have accurate (and matching) time.
I'm glad for you that you have understanding colleagues :).
- filoleg 5y agoI think I missed an important point in my original comment, my situation wasn't an open-office setup. It was private offices + conference rooms. If it was in an open office where everyone is constantly subjected to that, that would absolutely be an annoying situation. And fully agreed with your point about that feature on Apple Watch being all-around better due to only notifying you and not bothering anyone else around.
