I used to work with this intern who would set the alarm clock on his sports watch (not super professional or fashionable, I might mention) for 5:00 pm on the button.
Every day his alarm would go off at 5:00 and he would promptly stop whatever he was doing, get up, and leave.
I'm guessing he never earned a full-time position with the company ...

The other woman in my department does the same exact thing. She sets her alarm clock for 4:55 p.m. every day. We both stop working and turn our computers off. Her back faces the clock on the wall, and this way, she doesn't work over. Every hour, though, her clock gives off a little beep. Sometimes it catches me off-guard and makes me jump. That really bothers me.
