Alarm + Sleep cycle in Vivosmart4

I have the same device and would like it to alert me to alarms and timer countdowns that I set on my phone, the same way it does for my sleep/wake alarms.

Agree, three years later and you still can't enable the alarm along with your sleep schedule! Weird!

It looks like somebody developed something similar and released it on the IQ store: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/4c8224d3-1442-4c26-b253-22f624f38e33 . I have not tried it, however.

I (like many others apparently) would love this functionality. I am interested in learning Garmin app development, so I will give this a shot. Posting here to hopefully help motivate me to finish.

As a user of the Garmin Vivosmart 4, I've noticed a disconnect between its sleep tracking and alarm functions. While the device is equipped with the hardware to monitor my sleep cycles and wake me up with its alarm feature, there's currently no integration between the two. It's a feature I find myself wishing for as it would provide a more seamless and personalized experience. I wonder if this could be addressed through a software update. Perhaps Garmin could consider optimizing the device's firmware to allow for real-time interaction between sleep tracking data and alarm settings. It would certainly enhance the overall functionality and user satisfaction of the Vivosmart 4.

This is just one of the many reasons the sleep tracking / sleep mode on Garmin's is confusing. Why not have a simple toggle in the sleep mode that enables an alarm at the end of the sleep schedule.

I appreciate your question! The Garmin Vivosmart 4 does indeed have both sleep tracking and an alarm function, but currently, these two features are not connected. Many users have requested this integration, and while it’s not available yet, Garmin sometimes adds new capabilities through software updates. Hopefully, if there’s enough demand, they might consider linking these features in a future update. Thank you for sharing your feedback, and stay tuned for any new announcements from Garmin!

I completely agree that linking the alarm feature with sleep tracking would be a game-changer for the Vivosmart 4! It’s surprising that such an intuitive feature hasn’t been implemented yet, especially considering the device already has the hardware capabilities for sleep monitoring.

I’ve been exploring different platforms for optimizing productivity and convenience, and while researching, I came across tools that enhance connectivity between various functionalities. For example, this platform offers a collection of innovative group links and resources that cater to various needs. It got me thinking about how similar solutions or updates could really make the Vivosmart 4 more efficient.

It would be amazing if Garmin considered this feedback and brought out an update that allows alarms to sync with our sleep schedules automatically!
