Reminder app with description and repeat for Sense

[sliu2005]

Is there a reminder app on Sense and Versa? I couldn't find one. The reminder app is a lightweight version of calendar, it can be used to set a one time or repeat reminder on a future date. It has more feature than an alarm app (text description, attach a date). Unlike calendar, reminder app does not require sync because its data is stored on the watch. Most other watches have this feature. If it is missing from an expensive product like sense or versa 3, it seems to be a glaring omission.

Hi, basically are you looking for an on watch Alarm with description that occurs at a specific date and time? 

The Alarms app falls short because there is no description (others have signalled this), but you can set one up for up to a week in advance, by day.

It would be good to have this on the watch feature to make it work autonomously.

I use Google Assistant for reminders. "Remind me about X at 9 pm"  - for example.

The Alarm app falls short because:

1. Without a date, you can only set a one time alarm in the next 24 hours.

2. If you want to set a one time alarm 6 days from today, you have to set a repeat alarm for that day, and remember to remove the alarm after it goes off. Not how a reminder should be.

3. No text description, as you said.

So I am looking for a true reminder app, straightforward with date/time/description/repeat schedule, and works even when the watch is disconnected from the phone. 

I would not need this, if the Agenda app works correctly. Unfortunately it does NOT. When I walk away from my phone and the watch is disconnected from the phone, Agenda app stopped alerting me calendar reminders.

Either an Agenda app with offline alerts or a reminder app would meet my needs.

"I use Google Assistant for reminders. "Remind me about X at 9 pm" - for example."  That requires a constant bluetooth connection, right? I often walk away from my phone, so in my use case, Google Assistant would not work.

@sliu2005  - you say

"Either an Agenda app with offline alerts or a reminder app would meet my needs."

This is indeed the need that is not available.

Google Assistant is a weird one. Because you can actually set an alarm in the watch Alarms app, so it will work offline in that case but It presupposes that the watch was connected at command time, for the setting to work though it doesn't retain the text.

If the alarm gets set on the phone the watch would need to be connected at alarm time to receive the notification.

So it's not meeting your need, which is what should be available.

Using Google assistant on the watch (long press, if you assigned it), you can say

"Set watch alarm for tennis at 6:50"

This requires a connection to the phone to get GA to operate.

It sets a watch alarm (for today, or you can give a date) which alerts on the watch even if not connected to the phone at that time but without displaying the description.
