    Hello!

    My 5S is still on 7.54 BETA software.
    I have an LG G6 phone.
    Yesterday I set a wake up alarm on the 5S for this morning and afterwards synced the 5S with the Garmin Connect Mobile app on the phone. Then I went to bed.
    This morning both the watch and the phone woke me up with alarms.

    I could disable the alarm on the phone each evening after syncing but that would be rather annoying.

    I want to set the same wake up alarm time on the 5S for every weekday morning and still be able to sync with the phone without the phone interfering with the alarms set on the 5S in any way possible. How do I do that?

    Or should I just disable garmin mobile app permission to acces the phones clock app?
