Alarm clock not triggered at 00:00

@Milan-Šádek
Sure, but it’s not a blocking issue since it’s pretty easy to workaround it.

@Milan-Šádek my guess is, that 00:00 is the same or similar to “not set”.
Just use 23:59 or 00:01.

@2b2bff But not everyone who uses a Suunto watch is in this forum. So if one doesn’t know and relies on the watches alarm clock it could result in a missed flight… that should be reason enough for a bugfix as it seems easy to fix

@2b2bff The alarm clock feature shouldn’t be such a programming challenge by the end of 2025 that we’d need to resort to such workarounds.

This whole Suunto alarm issue (and lack of basic improvement), which has been going on for years, is reminiscent of a cabaret show.

@sartoric correct, but you have to make the experience that it does not work - which means you do not get your pill, but you can also miss your flight. This may be very costy. Not to mention, what if it does not work also at 01:24 am? You lack confidence in the watch.
The behaviour has changed with the latest fw - if set to once with the previous fw, it was not triggered but was deactivated after midnight, whereas now it keeps midnight alarm active forever. So it has gon from bad to worse

@Milan-Šádek fixed on next updates

This would be a different issue and a different situation.

The fact that the alarm will ring at 00:01 instead of 00:00 is that sensible for taking medications or waking up ? I don’t think so.

Not to mention that, as I said, this is JUST a workaround, for sure the alarm must work as expected.

@sartoric you however work with the wrong assumption you already know about this bug. The point is that having the alarm clock set to midnight is not standard for the vast majority of users. I dare say every single user will encounter this failure.

As soon as you know, you set 23:59 or 00:01, which works.

In all sincerity, would you use those awkward times if I had not brought this flaw to your attention in this forum?

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos thank you - tested last midnight and I can confirm it has been finally fixed.
