BUG: Alarm sound although vibration only set

As with the 5-series, there is a bug with alarm set to vibration only.

The software ignores this setting and activates sound alarm in parallel to vibration.

On my watch i observe this issue with the 5th alarm set - the first 4 alarm are working (yet) correctly.

I thought that Gamin can at least make a simple alarm reliably working.

However even in this point Garmin is not able to make it right.

  • Looks like Garmin has got ridd of the spinning wheel alarm bug and corrected it in the new beta (I haven't tested the new beta) .... Hopefully they've corrected the bugs you've discovered to..(I can confirm) .. Fingers crossed lol..

    I bet in the next firmware release history they say something like:

    * Improved alarm settings

    And what they usually do is to shift the bug... from playing sound instead of vibration only, to no alarm at all :-D
