Alarm exactly one hour late this morning!

Very strange -- I noticed my 0640 wake up alarm did not work (I thought I slept through it).

At 0740, alarm goes off.

I double checked garmin mobile and watch -- alarm is set for 0640 (correct).

This is first time it has happened.
  • Same here. Noticed that alarm issue after several (every?) FW updates: After FW update alarm time setting is still correct, but buzzes exactly 1 hour later. I turned to resetting alarm time after every FW update. Helps but quite annoying...

  • Garmin-Blake Must say I'm annoyed now because I called Garmin support last week and spent a total of 30 mins on the phone to report this issue. Garmin rep seemed totally uninterested. He asked me to set an alarm a few mins out, I did, alarmed worked, so problem solved in his mind!

    I also reported that my watch was giving incorrect time after syncing -- Garmin rep's response was equally without interest since my watch is now showing the correct time.

    When I tried to request that users be allowed option to turn OHR on for pool swims, I hit a wall of "ain't gonna happen!"

    My alarm was the opposite it went off an hour early at 6.30 am and then on time at 7.30 am on Monday, my alarm was fine today. I also lost all my steps through a hard reset after my call notifications weren't working.
  • godolphins We understand your frustration completely and do apologize for this inconvenience.

    We will continue to look for users emails based on our previous post as this information is necessary for us to escalate this issue appropriately.
  • I sent the requested info/file.

  • My va3 froze at 6 am this morning. I don't use it as an alarm, but this is the first time I've noticed this happening. I restarted the watch and everything seems to be fine.I'm on firmware 3.50. Garmin-Blake should I still send data? I know this isn't exactly the same issue...

    My alarms aren't working at all. I'll submit to the same place.
  • My wake up alarm did not work (again!) yesterday morning or this morning!!
    Yesterday morning, I thought maybe it was my fault or I somehow slept through the alarm. But this morning I woke up early (before alarm time) and alarm did not work.
    I double checked my alarm and it is set properly -- on (green).

    C'mon Garmin! this is a SIMPLE feature -- this should NOT be a problem! Having the alarm work for 3 weeks and then not work is UNACCEPTABLE!

    Also, see above reply from me -- I replied to Garmin blake and sent information OVER TWO WEEKS AGO and I have received no reply from Garmin or acknowledgement that I emailed the information.
