[REQUEST] I just want snooze and multiple alarms back....

Former Member over 10 years ago

I loved the alarm clock functions on the fenix 2, i.e. multiple alarms and the option to snooze. It made it so simple to bounce between the 3 or so different wakeup times I use throughout the week, and the snooze option is a nice one.

If Garmin won't add those features back in the software (which I have to think would be easy), could someone please make a silent alarm clock app? Thanks. :)

This isn't something that a ConnectIQ app can easily and cleanly do. To be a good alarm clock it would have to go off at the scheduled time regardless of how you're using the device. Unfortunately, no application type (watch face, widget, data field, or watch app) can satisfy that requirement.

Garmin has indicated that they have at least discussed adding some mechanism for an application to register for periodic wakeups from the system. If something like this was provided, then it would be possible. Until then you could get an alarm clock, but it will only work in some use cases.

the latest FW for the vivoactive (3.00) just added multiple alarms (3), and daily/weekend/weekday options, so maybe it will be coming soon to other devices in firmware updates. (they also added a "snooze" feathure.

As travis said, you can't run any CIQ stuff in the background, so this really isn't a good fit for CIQ, at least today - but it can be done in firmware.
