I've turned off vibration for my wakeup alarm and have turned off all vibrations for the watch now—but it still buzzes to wake me up.
Is there any fix for this? The buzzing gives me a jolt of adrenaline every time.

Well, that's what it's supposed to do - wake you up.  The vibrations on the watch are hardly powerful enough to do anything but give you the sensation for a notification.  It has less vibration than a novelty shock buzzer, even at the highest intensity.  Are you saying that you use sound rather than vibration for your alarm?  I believe that the vibration for the alarm will override any vibration settings for the watch in general.  When you set your alarm, and go through the setup process, you can turn off the vibration, set the vibration pattern and change the sound for the alarm.  I believe you have to either have a sound or vibration or both, or what's the point of setting an alarm on the watch?

I want only sound, not vibration. The alarm on the phone is set to not vibrate and the phone doesn't vibrate.
Despite all vibrations being turned off for the watch and the phone being set to not vibrate on alarm, the watch is still vibrating on alarms (and no other times).

You may have turned off vibration on the watch, but you did not turn vibration off  on the particular alarm.  Go into the alarm setting on the watch and turn off the vibration and make sure sound is on.  The vibration for the alarm will override any settings for vibration you set on the watch.  You will have to do this for each individual alarm.

The vibration is turned off for this alarm. It was the first thing I did when setting it up. I've tried deleting and resetting the alarm several times (and toggling the vibrate off and on) but it keeps making the watch vibrate.

You will  have to put in an error report.  Have you cleared the watch cache?  Reset the watch?
