Hi, I was wondering how people would time a 1 hour meditation session without setting an alarm on their phone.

I don't really want to keep my phone with me during meditation, but I do want to have a way to notice it's time to stop.

People somehow managed this in the past before phones existed right? So what would be a good way to do this?

This is actually quite a good option. I think even a regular watch with a timer option would be great (and then you don't need all the tracking/bluetooth connection and whatnot)

But I suppose regular watches usually don't have a vibrating alarm, only an audible one. I guess that's because that uses more battery
