Problem with the alarm clock on Pixel Watch: goes off too late

The Pixel Watch has problems with the alarm clock. This is much too late for many users. The problem is due to Google’s clock app. This is a pre-installed app from which you would expect little harm, but which can cause you to miss an appointment – or even worse, a plane.

Where the app on the Pixel phones does its job as usual, that is not the case on Google’s smart watch. On Reddit, several users indicate that the alarm sometimes goes off 10 minutes late. Fortunately, 10 minutes is not a huge disaster (unless you keep a very tight schedule), but it is a strange fact that an app that was made to be a clock turns out not to be able to tell the time very well.

The problem seems to mainly occur with alarm clocks in the morning, although there are also reports of alarm clocks that are set for evening hours. There are even reports that the alarm clock does not go off too late, but too early. It’s an odd thing, though some say it’s probably not so much related to the clock app as to the Pixel Watch’s sleep mode. The ‘Bedtime’ mode would cause the problem.

Google has not yet responded to it, although it seems to be known that third-party alarm clocks do not work well on Pixel Watch, so Google may already be looking at it from that perspective. In any case, there is work to be done when it comes to alarm clocks: the alarm clocks you set on the Pixel Watch do not sync with the phone at all and vice versa. Not very practical, although the advantage is that you can at least set an extra alarm on your Pixel phone just to be on the safe side, now that those on the Pixel Watch are proving to be somewhat unreliable.
