The Alert API will be available in the next version of watir-classic, which will be released soonish. You can however add this functionality right now with creating a few monkey-patches. I'd strongly recommend that instead of using some watir-webdriver-incompatible API.
All the necessary changes can be seen at: https://github.com/watir/watir-classic/commit/774f2d2384a550459386fabdf714f3b7fcb75712 Let me know if you have any questions.
