I finally figured out why I am sleeping through my silent alarm.  It's not going off!

 

I originally slept though the alarm (I thought) because it was too soft.  So I set up a series of 5 alarms with 1 minute between them.  No way to sleep through that and it worked.  However the next day I slept through them again.

 

So today, I set my phone alarm to go off 5 minutes before the series of 5 was set to go off, so I could tell for sure what was happening.  I checked the Alarms on my watch and the bells were green and the time said "today".  I waited and nothing happened.  After the time for the alarms passed, I checked the the watch again and all the alarms were still green and changed to "tomorrow".  I set a new alarm from my phone for 5 minutes in the future.  Waited and it went off just fine.

 

So it appears for me, on my watch, the silent alarm feature IS working.  It just isn't repeating despite the watch and ap stating otherwise.  

 

Also it seems like I need to delete the alarm completely each time to get it to work the next day (vs. turning it off and then on again.)

 

I hope this is a bug that will be fixed with a software update soon.  But I am glad that I figured out what is going on ... I didn't think I could possibly sleep through that alarm.

Hello Lorri,

 

 Yeah, this is still a problem, I just got in a habit of turning all my alarms off and back on again every Sunday night. This way I can rest assure it will work the following week. Could this be fixed? Maybe, but since I go through my ritual every week I have not taken any chances.

 

 Maybe one day someone will fix this. But it is nice to know this is still a problem and I am not wasting my time every week turning all alarms off and on.

 

 PS: Maybe this has something to do with the fact I now have multiple alarms one for every day of the week.
