Apple Watch Can’t Do Haptics and Audible Alarm

I have my Apple Watch set to silent mode because I don’t want it to make noise. I also have the sleep app set to a schedule with the Early Riser tone (which is the best tone to wake up to). For some completely inexplicable reason the sleep app alarm can ONLY do haptics when your watch is on silent mode which is absurd because the alarm app will do audible alarms on silent mode. AND if you use the the alarm app as the workaround, it doesn’t have the Early Riser tone available (it’s only available through the sleep app). This is a ridiculous and incredibly annoying Apple-only problem. If you want to have the Early Riser tone as an audible alarm you can purchase an annoying version of it on the iTunes Store for $1.29! This whole thing is utterly absurd. Many people do not want the watch to make noise. Many people like the sleep app. Many people do not wake to vibrations on their wrist and prefer an audible alarm. Many people like the Early Riser tone. No one can have all these things in a single functionality for God knows why. Please fix this, it’s frustrating even to describe!
