Dumbphone and Smart Watch?

I like the idea of rolling around with a dumbphone but as someone with ADHD I like some of the functionality that smartphones and smart watches offer like making my wrist buzz whenever a timer goes off and tapping me on the wrist for reminders. I'd like some ideas of potential ways of making a dumbphone work so I can entertain them at some point. My first thought is running a Mac Mini as I have an apple watch.

First, welcome to the forum!!
I left this comment on the video regarding an iPod alarm, however, I'd like to actually consider the smart watch route, it's an interesting point.
If a dumb phone is running Android, in theory, you could put any app on it (it might not work well, but it'd be interesting to explore!) It might be possible to get, say, a Pebble smartwatch to work alongside a dumb phone, but I'd be very curious what other people have in mind.

Are Pebbles still worth it today?

I’m pretty sure the official servers are down, but as always, the internet finds a way
Looks like there’s a community dedicated to keeping them alive:
