Pixel Watch alarms go off after the set time

[ad_1]

In today’s modern era, many people use their smartwatch’s alarm clock to wake up at the set time. Whether it’s Samsung Galaxy Watch series 4 and 5 or Google Pixel Watch, they are all equipped with an alarm function. The Pixel Watch uses Google’s Clock app, which is also the default clock app for the company’s Pixel line of smartphones. However, a Pixel Watch bug is causing the alarm to sound later than the set time.

Many Pixel Watch users on Reddit are complaining about the alarm going off at the wrong times. For some, it rings up to 10 minutes later than scheduled, and in select cases, it rings earlier than it should.

While most users report this problem with their morning alarms, one says they had the same problem with a 7pm alarm. The folks at 9to5Google speculate that Bedtime mode is the culprit behind this, something related to the device being in “deep sleep”. Bedtime mode turns off tap-to-wake, always-on display, and notification features so your smartwatch doesn’t disturb you in the middle of the night.

It’s unclear whether Google is aware of the issue as there are no reports in the Pixel Watch Help community or the Google Issue Tracker. Despite owning Fitbit, the big G hasn’t implemented its Smart Wake on its Pixel wearable, which learns your sleeping movements to detect when you switch from deep to light sleep. Then he finds the best way to wake you up, starting 30 minutes before the alarm time you set.

Hopefully, Google will fix this for wearable device owners soon. However, until then, you might want to set a backup alarm if you’re using your Pixel Watch to wake you up in the morning.
