Gradually increase vibration intensity (instead of standard alarm pattern) for "Smart Wake"

I need the vibration pattern for the "Smart Wake" alarm to start off subtler and then gradually (over the course of ~1 minute) increase in intensity, instead of starting off at FULL intensity like a standard alarm. This would be similar to the bedtime/wakeup alarm on iPhones, where the music starts very soft and gradually increases in volume.

This would be extremely useful. I cannot currently use the alarm on my Fitbit device for waking up in the morning, as it happens too abruptly and scares the sh*t out of me.

This!!! Yes please. I just received my charge 5 yesterday and the alarm was NOT pleasant to wake up to this morning. A gradual increase of vibration strength would be 1000% better. Especially since the smart-wake feature makes it sound like it's going to gently wake you at the optimal time. Not the case! Really strong vibrations, and I'm concerned it's going to wake up my partner on those mornings when I need to wake up much earlier than him. Thanks for listening 🙂

Can't belive my Charge 5 doesnt have this feature. Xiaomi's band (waaaay cheaper) does and i used to love it. Please this needs to be incluided for a better wake up experience.
