Could I get a sound file to hear a normal sound when I finish my timer ? I am not sure if my sound is normal. In the morning I only use vibration.

Please feel free to highlight my name and send me a private message to listen to what your watch sounds like. I will be happy to compare it.

I did not ask for a defective. I asked for a normal sound to compare. If mine does not sound the same then I will know it is defective.
i will try to capture the sound of my watch and send it to you.

After close to 2 years of flawless operation, this just started to happen to my Fenix 6 Sapphire. Unfortunately, Garmin wants $190 to refurbish the watch. I might just have to wait until the next Fenix release

If it only makes the sound when waking you up please check if the options of the alarm include sound. You can have vibrations only or vibration and sound.
