I have an Android Wear device set to vibrate on alarm. It does vibrate, but only once and then never again while the phone continues to vibrate until I turn off the alarm. How can I make the watch continue to vibrate until I snooze or dismiss the alarm?

Hello,

many thanks for purchasing the full version we do very much appreciate that and will use your contribution to further improve the app. Please note that we use gentle vibrations. It starts with a single vibe, another in 30s, than again in 20s and so on. After few minutes the vibrations will be continuous. You can control when vibrations on the watch start using settings>smartwatch>vibration and you always have a backup alarm on your phone in case something would happen to your watch.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

What does the "before" option mean for the watch vibration. I notice that the vibration accelerates much more quickly on the phone than the watch.

Basically the scenario I want is

6:30 Alarm
- 6:30 watch vibrates to wake me up
- 6:35 if I did not dismiss the alarm, I am sleeping through the watch. The phone should start ringing now.

How can I accomplish this?

Hello, sure this should be no issue to configure, please just set vibration to start after X minutes and smartwatch vibrations to start at alarm start..


Thank you very much.

I would recommend using a longer gentle volume increase period.. for example if you use 24 minutes, then several minutes in the beginning the volume is not hearable..


Thank you very much.

But I want the sound alarm to wake me up after 5 minutes if the watch does not. Using a 24 minute gentle volume increase periods means the volume will still be very soft at 5 minutes.

Just another input - I would like my Zenwatch 2 to wake me with vibration only so as not to wake my girlfriend. When I had a pebble and used it with SaA, the vibration was persistent enough that I could turn off sound & phone vibration and it would wake me no problem.

I'm happy to test anything with the Zenwatch 2 since it's new. Battery usage seems much better than the v1 - stats showed 6% for SaA last night on theater mode.

Hello, we will have a look at the issue. Regarding Zenwatch vibration you are saying the the device default vibrations are much smoother than on the Pebble watch?

Thank you very much.

OK, I just tested it and it seems that the smartwatch vibrations are like the gentle volume increase pattern. It starts out vibrating once, then waiting maybe 30 seconds, then again, then 15 seconds, then again, and eventually reaches a persistent vibration like I remember experiencing when I used SaA with my Pebble. I guess I should've tested more thoroughly before reporting an issue.
