Hi, with my Fenix 6x I was able to set my morning alarm via Garmin Connect App (iOS) - but this is missing now with my 7x

The Fenix 7 series, Epix series, and Instinct 2 series do not currently have the ability for their alarms to be set through the Connect Mobile APP.

There are no plans to add the ability into the Connect…

Hi Dave. Thank you for your post. I am sorry the alarm ability was not initially added to the 'real time' settings changes that were built into the Connect Mobile APP for newer generation watches. I hope…

Why? There is no reason to not add this function, its a downgrade.

Can’t send you a DM, but I have the same issue with my Fenix 7X

Yes ok, thanks. Strange though. it seems natural that that would be possible from GC IOS app.

I think, they're working on new version of GC. There are a lot of bugs. Also I can't set running track activity via GC. The app crashes.
