This is probably one of the most wanted feature but I see no progress, no information on this. Could someone from the devs explain what is the roadmap for this?

I don't think anyone here is really paying attention to the community requests.
I'll just put a few links so you spare a few minutes to see what's going on:
- Started over 4 years ago : https…
Smart alarms means that you set a wake up window (range of time) that you want to wake up and the watch, which is monitoring your sleep, wakes you up when you are not in REM or deep sleep. I always seem…
Just because you don't care about the feature doesn't mean it a 'minority request'.
Finally the smart alarm feature is on Garmin watches... the downside is that it's only on the Vivoactive 6, which can't count floors climbed, which is another feature I need. So I'll be waiting for Garmiin to incorporate the smart alarm to Fenix or Forerunner or any other watch capable of counting floors.
I've been so much looking forward to the smart alarm feature. For me it's crucial to wake up in a good mood, and with a regular alarm you risk being woken up when you are in a deep or REM stage. However, if you wake up at a light stage, you feel good and refreshed, which is what a smart alarm does. You set it to go off in a 30 minutes window around the time you want to wake up, and it goes off when the sleep tracking sensors detect you are in a light sleep moment during these 30 minutes. It makes a whole difference to your days!
Sure you can "smart-wake-up" by not setting an alarm at all too, but at least for me that's something I can only afford to do on weekends. So I definitely want a smart alarm, and I think that if it's not a more popular claim it's because people are not aware of this huge difference.
But isn't the Fenix series suppost to have all "Standard" features (like health and sport functions) the other watches have? (non-standard is diving or tactic stuff like balistic calculator)
or is the new smart clock in the next update maybe?
That is definitely partly why I got the sapphire pro - all features without limitations. Now it seems they just want to keep segmenting everything and forcing me to upgrade for basic features my Pebble had 10 years ago.
