      Hi there,

      I´ve got a brand new S5 a couple of weeks ago. Still diving through menus and functions, but want to make a question: is there only one alarm configurable in the watch? Quite strange, when even the cheapest casio or so has 5 alarms at least…
      I have a 20$ smartband that you can set as many alarms/reminders as you want…

        @Meneillos Yes one alarm. But you can independently configure sunrise/sunset alarms and for variable times before/after sunset. There is also a timer that can be configured. If you need more alarms, I would get a smartwatch or use a phone.

            I don’t think that multiple alarms are the main purpose of a sportwatch

              Or get rid of the 5 and go get a budget Garmin or Polar that will have more features and be able to serve as a multipurpose daily watch…

                  @isazi I mean I am being serious. If the OP just purchased the watch and the commenter states that this feature is not one commonly found in GPS watches, I am simply suggesting that OP possibly looks into returning the watch for a watch with a more robust feature set.

                    Thanks for the sunrise/sunset tips! For the rest, if your answer to the questions is “buy another watch”, I better don’t ask here anything never again. Good help, keep going…

                            @Meneillos please forgive the users who replied to you “buy another watch”. They are not angry at you, I am sure of that, they are just angry at Suunto and inadvertently vented their frustration on you.

                              AFAIK having only one alarm was always like that in Suunto watches since the Ambit 1.

                                as I see it, one is already too much. Using the smartphone, I don’t know what I should do with it 😁
