I have a Vivosmart 3 and for the most part I like the device, but syncing Alarms to it can be utterly maddening sometimes. If I create an alarm within the Garmin Connect App, and then sync the Vivosmart, often the alarm never updates to the watch. Sometimes this can take most of the day (set the alarm in the morning, yet notice it still hasn't shown up on the watch that evening) without syncing. All other activities, steps, HR, stress, etc sync just fine it's the alarm.
It happened to me early on that I actually missed my wakeup but now I have learned to VERIFY that the alarm made it to the watch before I go to bed that night. The only workarounds I've tried, none of which seems to CONSISTANTLY work, is 1) restarting the app, 2) restarting the phone, 3) fiddling with the alarms ON the band then syncing in that directly, 4) forcing a sync using the band itself, 4) deleting ALL alarms in the app, syncing, then adding/editing new alarms. Unfortunately none of these seem to be fixes consistantly.
Anyone have any tips? Or is the Vivosmart 4 just better in this regard?
