Forerunner 35 Alarm is VERY weak both Tone and Vibration?

I set a daily alarm as a medication reminder.
The vibration is so weak as to be unnoticeable.
The tone is so low as to be inaudible even in a quiet room.

I've tried modifying the settings.  Do Not Disturb is OFF.

I cannot find any user interface to manage in the "Connect" app from Windows 10.

What am I doing wrong?
Is it dependent on state of battery charge?

  • There is no way to adjust vibration strength on the FR35. On my watch the vibration is so strong that it's actually clearly audible.

  • My vibration alert is also very weak. Chat support advised me to do a soft reset, but it didn't improve. They said possibly the motor is faulty, because the vibration should be quite strong, which seems correct given tmk2's feedback. I am going to exchange it in case the motor is defective. The tone is quite audible. You can increase volume only through the Connect app on a paired mobile phone. From the app, select the Forerunner 35 icon, then Activity Profiles --> Audio Prompts -> Alert Volume. Use your phone's volume buttons to increase/decrease volume. 

  • This method only increases the volume on my phone, no changes to the watch are noticeable.
