For a reason unknown to me, my Charge 5 has started notifying me exactly 2 hours before I have my alarm set on my phone. My phone is on DND and I'm not getting any other notifications (as I'd expect), but at 6:35 am for the past few days I get the unhelpful vibration reminder on my Charge 5 that I have an alarm set at 8:35 am. I can't see any setting that I can change that would be affecting this. I have other alarms set throughout the day and I'm not getting this weird 2-hour heads up for those. I want to track my sleep but I also don't want to be woken up 2 hours early everyday. Any ideas as to settings I should check? I've rebooted both my phone and the Charge 5 and the issue persisted.

Solved: I have a Samsung phone. There is a notification category that ignores DND in the Clock app. I've disabled the "upcoming alarms" notification and I expect that to resolve the issue.

Wasn't the issue the "smart wake"?

No, it definitely was not. That's only supposed to fire within 30 minutes, IIRC. There was a notification category in the Clock app, "upcoming alarms". That notification was ignoring DND and therefore buzzing my Fitbit every morning exactly 2 hours before it was set to go off. I don't want to be told about upcoming alarms, I just want the alarm to go at the time I set.
