Mine both wear watches with alarms set. DD wears a vibrating one, but DS requires it to be audible for him (or rather, likely, the kid sitting next to him) to respond. Neither watch is as fancy as the one you found, but the key feature is to have multiple alarm settings possible (DS requires up to 4). Buy in is probably also important here, too. Both my kids have independently asked to have the watch to help them with remembering things during the school day.

Okay. It sounds like buy in is a big component. I can't think of what would motivate DS, other than screens. So maybe I could tell him he will earn screen time by filling in his planner effectively and turning in assignments?

I can't bring myself to completely take away his computer time, punitively. He has multiple projects that are actually enrichment for him (video editing, an online "build your own country" simulation), and he also seems to really need music for his emotional regulation.

I guess I could allow a certain amount of time per day and he has to earn the extra?

The most frustrating part is that I know he wants to succeed--he is not being negative or resistant, but just doesn't seem to get it on the "turn in work" and "use planner" part. He seems to think that those are things he does for other people and not himself.
