The ability to set an alarm on the Google Pixel Watch, or many of the best Android smartwatches for that matter, is a handy feature that is sure to wake you up when you vibrate your wrist. .
Some Pixel Watch owners took to Reddit (opens in new tab) Report an alarm going off later than expected (via 9to5Google) (opens in new tab)). Most of the time the alarm delay he was less than 10 minutes. However, on one occasion, a user claimed that the alarm went off ahead of schedule.
Android Central has reached out to Google for comment and will update this post when we hear back. Delayed warnings, on the other hand, do not appear to be widespread, but the fact that a small number of people reported them should be cause for concern.According to one user report, the problem seems to have started months ago (opens in new tab).
According to 9to5Google, most of the late triggers happened in the morning, so the Bedtime Mode feature could be to blame. More specifically, the delayed alarm could be due to the watch being in a deep sleep state, which could possibly interfere with the watch’s wake-up process.

Google hasn’t acknowledged the issue yet, probably due to low reports from affected users. The delay doesn’t seem to be significant either, but we expect the search giant to roll out a fix soon anyway, and in the meantime I’d recommend setting a backup his alarm on your phone.
With a gorgeous display, great performance, and a wealth of features to help you track your health and fitness goals, the Pixel Watch is a sophisticated and compelling example of what Wear OS can do.
