Clocks with an hourly chime? (lemmy.ml)

I started using the hourly chime on my wrist watch and found it helps ground me. The trouble is the chime can be disruptive at night, and it's tedious to turn it on and off every day. I'm hoping to find a clock (not a wrist watch)-- of decent build quality-- with an adjustable chime (volume and active window). I don't care if the clock mechanisms are mechanical or not, so long as the chime is pleasant.

I'm struggling to get satisfying web-search results, but I thought others with ADHD may already have a similar solution. Anyone have a clock with a chime you'd recommend?

I have an iOS app that beeps every hour, night and day, yet silent enough to not disturb my sleep).

Yet the reason , a bit off-topic though, for my reply is, that every now and then, I start to doubt my given diagnosis, believing to rather be the worlds greatest imposter ever seen!

Then something like your post happens, asking for something really not that usual (for neurotypicals), yet which has been far longer adopted by me, than my diagnosis is old.

And I start to think again, that maybe, just maybe …

So *beep* thanks for your request here. ^^

I think I can relate. I deviate from the norm in a number of ways, but everyone's different, so I didn't think much of it. When I was filling out the questionnaires for my ADHD testing, and saw the specificity of the questions and how relatable they were, it was a watershed moment.

I don't doubt my diagnosis, but I do wonder how extreme my case actually is. I often forget about it until I fall behind. So often it's some disruption in the systems I didn't realize I depend so heavily upon.
