Garmin Alarm

Davidsdottir

Hi guys, I just got my Vivoactive 3 for Christmas, upgraded from the Fitbit Blaze. I set my alarm last night for 4:25 and it buzzed so gently this morning that I just barely woke up. The other buzzes for alerts on the Garmin are more...violent, for lack of a better word (similar to the Fitbit), and better for waking me up. Is there a way to turn up the vibration on the Garmin alarm?

My fr230 you can set it to have sound too in the menue where you set the alarms, but I have not come across anything that allows you to change the vibration strength

I'm a pretty light sleeper... I'll see how it goes in the morning. I set an additional regular alarm for 5 min later just in case.

There is a vibration strength setting.
Hold the face for a couple seconds until the option appear.
then Settings > System > Vibrations
Low/Medium/High

I have mine set on high too.

I set it to high, but compared to my old Fitbits it still seems light. Some days it wakes me up, some it doesn't and I have to rely on my backup alarm.
