Which watch to choose for a programmer with a child?

People, sorry for the offtopic, but a child will be born soon, and since housing is difficult, we rent a one-room apartment.
In general, the task: we need a watch (on hand) that is not very expensive, which has an alarm clock. To wake me up. Superfood bells and whistles do not need a price of up to $ 50, preferably cheaper.
Requirements:
1. Rubber case and strap (if possible, but iron will do).
2. More or less high-quality, so as not to be covered with plaque from the skin, like China.
3. In general, everything.
There are options? Thanks in advance! And yes, I often work at night :)

Look towards the clock with a vibrating alarm clock. In general, you can wake up from the phone. Also vibration. But it all depends on how well you sleep.

When the child is born, you will not be saved. Quite ... Checked :)

Expand your budget a little and buy one of the sports bracelets with a phase vibrating alarm function.

I have been using the Sleeptracker Elite phase alarm clock for several years now.
This is my first such gadget, I chose it carefully and I am 100% satisfied with the purchase!
Its advantages are as follows:
- it wakes up in a suitable phase of sleep
- a rather powerful vibration (when it is turned on, a slight buzz is heard at some distance, and if the spouse does not sleep nearby, she can hear, but she will definitely not disturb the child in the crib)
- several months of battery life
- some water resistance (specially, but not tested)
- comfortable bracelet - the hand does not sweat, skin irritation is not noticed.
- can be used as a clock (there is an LCD screen)
Cons:
- large
- a little expensive (bought for about $ 150-170)
- already somewhat outdated - I don’t know if you can still buy them now ..
Review of this watch: geektimes.ru/post/139781
Now there is much more choice of such gadgets. But it's unlikely to fit in $50. Now, to wake me up, I would probably buy a Jawbone UP24 fitness bracelet. Not he has some minus for me in the absence of a screen. I don't have very good eyesight, and when I wake up at night I can't see the time on my desk clock. Therefore, the screen is convenient for me. But Jawbone has a big plus in a good algorithm for determining the phase of sleep and in integration with a smartphone. I have read positive reviews about them.
If you buy something very cheap, like Casio had some kind of electronic watch with vibration, then most likely they will not be very useful. Because They don’t know how to determine the appropriate phase of sleep, and you simply can’t feel the vibration. Yes, and there it may not be very strong, because. this is not the main function of the watch.
Here are a few threads about such watches. Read reviews.
