Receive a dusk and/or sunset alert with Vivoactive?

I have a Garmin Instinct in addition to my daily wear Vivoactive 4S. I really like the Instinct's ability to notify me of pending sunset with a vibration alert.

I see a variety of widgets for displaying dusk or sunset on my Vivoactiv. Has anyone found a way to replicate this sunset alert on Vivoactive watches?

This kind of alert is great for getting home before dark when on a long walk to hike, or being aware of the best time to spot wildlife.

Outside of an app or widget, I imagine there could be some kind of workaround with an iPhone app (that throws a notification in advance of sunset...which could vibrate my vivoactive) but haven't found an option there either.

I'd love to have that feature on my VA but I seriously doubt that Garmin would put it into this watch, they need to distinct more expensive products somehow.

As for notification, my best bet would be to find some watchface which has alert you about custom events like these. I think that seen that on one of them but don't remember the name now and never tried it.

A watch face I often use, Simple TDB, offers a sunrise/set or dawn/dusk toggle in the settings. I haven’t fully vetted it for accuracy but in my daily doings it seems to better represent the time that it “gets dark” v sunset.
