No vibration

HoBart

Hi there.
I usually use the alarm just with vibration so I don‘t wake up my wife. Today the alarm didn‘t vibrate.
I did not change any settings or did anything different as usual. Any ideas? What can I do?

@HoBart did you have DND enabled as I found that vibration doesn’t work in any area with that enabled (even auto lap doesn’t vibrate if you start an activity with DND on).

@Mattg576
The alarm will sound and vibrate regardless of DND setting. Otherwise it would not be an alarm that wakes you up.

@HoBart
make sure you set the alarm sound and/or vibration in "Settings -> General -> Tones -> Alarm
And also make sure your battery is not nearly empty. If the battery is below a certain percentage of charge, the vibration motor will be deactivated to save energy

HoBart

@Egika yeah I think the empty battery was the issue. This morning it was at 3%. At what percentage does the Vibration turns off? Just to know for the next time….

@HoBart below 10% you will likely lose vibration.

HoBart

@Brad_Olwin Thank you. Good to know.

@Egika fair enough but DND does disable vibration in other ares & its caught me out before so I thought it was a valid comment…

Ps. I don’t use my watch as an alarm clock, my body clock takes care of that at 0500hrs every morning

Don’t you have an option to put your body in extended DND mode ?
