Smartwatches are a convenient tool to help you stay punctual and on top of your schedule. However, for some Pixel Watch users, their alarms have been going off late causing some frustration. One user on Reddit with the username “91114” reported that their alarm for 7 PM, set as a reminder to give their son milk, had been going off late for the past few days. Another user named “blaqice” mentioned that their alarm had gone off a few minutes before or after the set time, and they suspected that a recent update could have caused the issue.
While it’s not entirely clear what is causing the problem, it’s possible that the watch is in a deep sleep mode before the alarm goes off, making it difficult to rouse it on time. Unfortunately, setting a backup alarm on your phone may be necessary to avoid running late for important appointments.
One user named “zrobbs” said that they have had issues with the Pixel Watch alarm several times and now set a backup alarm on their phone as a precaution. It seems like the issue could be software-related, and we’re hopeful that a future update from Google will address the problem.
A possible solution that Google could implement is the Smart Wake feature found on Fitbit wearables. This feature attempts to wake you up during lighter sleep stages to avoid disrupting deep sleep and help you feel more refreshed. While it may not entirely solve the issue, it could be a helpful addition to the Pixel Watch.
It is quite plausible that Google will address the situation in the next few days and roll out an update to the Pixel watch to fix this issue. In the meantime, it’s best to set a backup alarm to avoid veering off schedule and possibly facing an unpleasant situation at your workplace.
