Phantom Alarm?

Former Member over 6 years ago

So, I've had my VA3 for about a week now and I haven't had any issues until today. This morning I got an alarm at 7AM. Odd thing is, I never set an alarm since I've own this device and the watch shows the alarm feature is turned off. Anyone else experience this?

I had the excact same thing, and alarm for 7am just when I wanted to sleep in. The only thing i could think of is that some errant touches accidentally set the alarm.

My watch sets an alarm almost every day. I turn it off. I delete it. It resets. Constantly. I am so tired of this happening. I want to permanently delete the alarm.

Same problem for me. A few days after I started wearing my new watch I started getting the 7 am alarm. I tried deactivating the alarm from the app, but I got it again the next morning. I instead removed all alarms on the watch and that seemed to work (note - I never set up any alarms myself; these were pre-loaded). About a week later, today, the alarm is back. Again, I've deleted a 7 am (that I didn't set up) from the app. I also went in on my watch and removed two "new" alarms - 7 am everyday and 7 am weekdays. My app no shows "No Alarms" and the watch shows no alarms listed. We'll see if the 7 am alarm comes back.

Sure enough, my 7 am alarm came back starting Friday. I've still never willingly used the alarm feature on my watch...

I had the same happening to me on my va3 music. Alarm was set to 7 am, every day. Very strange.
