Alarms Not Consistently Working

This issue is really unacceptable, IMO. My Fenix 7 Sapphire Solare never failed to wake me up for work in the morning, but my new Fenix 8 AMOLED frequently fails to trigger my wake up alarm! I have a weekday alarm for 4:50am which matches my old watch but it will not trigger at least once per week on average.

I love the AMOLED screen and other features compared to my old watch but the bugs are worst I've ever experienced with any Garmin product.

No issue here. I have 47 AMOLED with the latest 11.67 software. Set the alarm time and alarm status ON, it comes as expected.

I'm on the same version with the same watch and my alarm did not trigger this morning but it did on Monday. I've deleted and recreated the alarm to see if that helps.

Yes! I’ve been having the exact same problem. Very inconsistent. It was never a problem with my previous generation forerunner.

I am having the same issue... is it to do with the sleep settings? I tried am alarm during the day instead of 430 am.. the later one has worked for two days.. grrr. may return the watch, super high expectations at the price.

Still experiencing the same issue – it needs to be fixed do not like to be late at work.
Sometimes the alarm goes off, and sometimes it doesn't.
I think it may indeed be related to the sleep mode.

Alarm is set on 5:25 and my sleep mode is set till 06:00
