snooze alarms on Fenix 6

How do I enable snooze for my alarms?

I used to have snooze on my Vivoactive HR. My Vivoactive 3 didn't have it at first but then I must have stumbled on a setting (don't remember) and I managed to enable it. Now I have a new Fenix 6 and I cannot snooze my alarms anymore!

I use the alarm from my smartphone (Samsung Note 8), but find it interesting to use the alarm on my Fenix 6x pro as well ( one of both will bring me back to live ;-) )

The only thing i miss on my Fenix…

You can set two alarms 5 minutes apart as work around. Less of a mission if it's a recurring alarm

While ringing, press Down button

I did some testing. This isn't documented anywhere.

When the alarm goes off,

press "start" button to dismiss the alarm

press any other button except the "light" button to snooze for 10 minutes.

There does not seem to be any way to configure this.

There is no setting regarding this. While ringing press Down button and it's snoozed for 10 minute till ring again.

Thanks Cristu but it is actually poorly labelled. The "Back" and "UP" buttons will also snooze it - unless this will go away in a future FW update.

Don't know why Garmin didn't bother to document this. I never look at the screen when the alarm goes off. And I certainly don't put on my glasses before turning off the alarm (in the morning).

The only thing i miss on my Fenix is to configure how long the snooze time is. Is there a way to decrease it from 10 to 5 minutes ? Or do the Up- or back-Button set the snooze time to something else than 10 minutes ?

Do you know any way to disable the snooze option? I use an alarm to wake me up (successfully), then I go to the bathroom, and sometimes it turns out that I didn't dismiss the alarm, I pressed any other button and turned on snooze. So the alarm goes off again while I'm in the eg. bathroom and wakes up my wife or daughter. I don't see any way to check after I woke up if I dismissed the alarm or enabled snooze. Any advice is appreciated.

I've had this happen to me many times as well. Any button, besides the GPS button places the alarm in snooze. There is no indicator that the alarm is in snooze mode (good idea though). You can disable the alarm once you are awake to ensure that the alarm won't go off again in ten minutes. But that's a hassle.
