I need to get up without waking the wife and kids, I got a smartwatch to vibrate and it woke her. The alarm is always going to wake the house.
Is there anything else?

Set alarm quiet-ish on your phone, put it under your pillow then hope the volume is loud enough to wake you, but the muffled sound doesn’t wake them up?
My phone has an escalating volume option for alarms. I usually hear it before it’s loud enough for anyone else to hear.
If the watch vibrating is too much, I fail to see how this has any chance.
Perhaps the vibrating option is not a good option, but a low volume alarm could sound loud enough for the person on the pillow, and substantial quieter for someone only a short distance away.
It’s like an alarm playing through headphones only without having to wear uncomfortable headphones while you are trying to sleep.
They could try different alarm tones too. If I go with something harsh and irritating I wake up angry about it, if I co with something that brings me around gently I’m as happy as any man getting up at 4:15am.
