Silent Wake: Wake Up Without Disturbing Anyone
Sleeping next to someone with a different wake time? Your Garmin can wake you with vibration only — no sound. Here's how to enable silent alarms.
Day 63: Silent Wake
Here's another Garmin feature I bet you didn't know about, and it's called silent wake.
When you're sleeping with someone else in the same room who has a different wake time, you can enable silent alarms on your watch. The watch wakes you with vibrations only — no sound — so the other person doesn't even notice you're up.
Happy wife, happy life. Or happy husband, happy… well, that's not really a thing, is it?
How to set it up
- Open Alarms on your watch (or in Garmin Connect)
- Create or edit an alarm
- Disable Sound
- Enable Vibration
- Save
That's it. Quiet mornings, no fights.
