It’s not a constant downside throughout the board, however there are sufficient considerations popping as much as safely say that it appears to be commonly plaguing many Pixel Watch house owners.

I’ve an alarm for 7PM set as a reminder to offer my son his milk. It labored simply high quality for awhile however as of the previous few days (began Monday) it was going off late. On Monday it confirmed it was nonetheless set for 7PM however it went off at 701. So I believed possibly it was some form of glitch and deleted the alarm and remade one.

9to5Google posits that the Bedtime mode might be what’s making folks late and protecting the Pixel Watch in deep sleep, because it appears to be the connecting thread for others experiencing the alarm points. Bedtime mode turns off the always-on show and the tap-to-wake performance in order that the smartwatch doesn’t blast you awake in the course of the evening. Bedtime mode additionally turns off notifications so that you simply aren’t buzzed awake by a drunk dial. It’s a potential perpetrator!
I’ve not been utilizing our Pixel Watch assessment unit persistently sufficient to see the identical points myself. To check this difficulty, I set 4 alarms on the Pixel Watch in succession, and every time it hit the mark. Then, after I turned on Bedtime Mode, it additionally rang the alarm on time. I contacted Google to ask if it’s conscious of the problem and can report if I hear again.
