Could do that simply on the Forerunner 255 and won’t be able to keep the race S without this feature as my watch is my only alarm clock device
You don’t have a phone or any other device that can run an alarm clock app? How are you writing your posts here?

@raven
maybe … a computer ?

Computers can run alarm clock apps!
Note, it’s fine if “alarm clock features” are a requirement for one’s watch. I was just surprised to hear there’s literally no other device that could work as an alarm clock.

I use an old smartphone as alarm clock since it is very flexible to set several alarms with different times and days

@raven Obviously I do have a phone, even a computer, but I don’t want to bring them in the bedroom, and the big plus with a watch (on my wrist), is that I’m able to set vibrate alarm and so I don’t wake up my wife …
And to be totally complete, I also use alarms during day time because there are times where I cannot have my phone with mePS : maybe “won’t be able to keep the race S without this feature” was too quick, will see
But even if this feels like a small feature, it seems so easy to implement that I was disappointed not to see that -
@wzxecr Ok your situation makes more sense now. I wasn’t sure if you were exaggerating the lack of options, or forgetting what you might have available, etc. I agree tactile wake up versus sound can be nice. I’ve heard of some implementations where an alarm will try to optimize when to wake you based on how it’s thinking if your sleep cycle; that is, you tell it to wake you between 7:00-7:30 but no later and if it thinks 7:14 is the best time it will do that.
As for if or when Suunto might do things, I’d say often things like this are more a question of priority than of complexity. A team has multiple features that they want to implement but need to decide on what to do first. It’s not always the simplest things that get done first.

Yes they’ve probably have tons of requests like this.
Will wait and cross fingers it is not low in their todo list -
Same here. I was Garmin for years, switched to Suunto last Xmas, and very surprised about this minimalistic (actually not usable) alarm clock feature on a…. smart watch.

@ChanOJ
maybe because it’s a sport watch

Maybe one day…
