Fenix 5 - changing alarm time

My my watch has an alarm set for 6:00am weekdays but I have to correct it each evening as it will have changed to 5:30pm weekdays!
Anyone else had this?


v6.00 software
  • Alarm settings in the Garmin Connect app and/or website override the settings on the watch. It's not logical altought it's apparently "by design". Check Garmin Connect and set the 6am alarm there, it should be all good afterwards.
  • Yes, the application's alarm settings and / or Garmin Connect website replaces the watch's settings, but the problem is that even a simple sync with the Connect app, while there is no set to Connect, override any alarms set on the watch. Which is very lame!
    For example, I leave a day or more somewhere without my phone and I set several alarms with specific settings, when I find myself near my phone, the Connect application crushes all my alarms! For me it is a very annoying bug, which was reported to them and they persist in not correcting. On Fenix 3HR this bug does not exist, I never set alarms on my phone, it's boring, on the watch it's more convenient!
