Alarm dismissed without touching the watch (Race)

[Stefano M64]

Hello, this morning I woke up as the alarm of my Race ringed, but in a couple of seconds it stopped ringing before I was able to touch the watch to turn it off. I didn’t touch any physical buttons for sure, maybe I could have touched the screen with a part of my body. Don’t know if this is the case, but I think that the alarms should be dismissed by the physical buttons only, is safer.

@Stefano-M64 Absolutely, touch screen should be disabled on alarm screen and Snooze/Dismiss should be available only via physical buttons.
I don’t know if this is new behavior or not, but there are already reports of missed and overslept alarms on the forum due to this bug/feature.

I had the exact same behavior this morning!

I think I experienced this this morning. I was out of bed already. When I reached for my watch it just stopped. Maybe I touched the screen, but I feel like I only touched the bezel on the no-buttons-side.

I just reproduced it. I might have touched the screen. Would be nice if it’s buttons only indeed. I would like to snooze

So touch screen works with this ?

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Yes, by touching the screen on ‘snooze’ or ‘dimiss’ you can enable this function

Again this morning, the alarm was somehow postponed at first (not by me) and then I was able to dismiss it after 10 minutes. I believe this behavior depends on where the wrist is placed during sleep when the alarm starts.
