It’s too low, I’ve never missed waking up with my iPhone alarm all my years, it goes from low to loud and I love that part, I’ll hear it somewhere along the way once it starts.

I’ll have to test the watch on my days off lol, I work on call hours where I get to know the day before and it’s too risky to not wake up on my sudden 3am cover shift lol….

I’d love to not use a case, and have in the past. But feel as though I should as I have had some issues. I have a casekoo slim clear thing on it more. Still shows the purple phone color, and has likely saved me on a small drop or two already

Just weird! I’ve never had this happen on any previous iPhone, Apple Watch or combo of the two. An alarm goes off on my phone, it rings on both phone and watch every time.

It really sucks this doesn’t happen for everyone, seems like an easily diagnosable issue for Apple to fix!

Of course, I’m old-school and always have a clock radio as a backup anyway. :) But the phone hasn’t failed me yet!

For me the alarm on the iPhone is still inconsistent but thankfully it rings on my Apple Watch which IS consistent. I haven't had issues with the alarm on my AW, but if I left iPhone and only iPhone I feel like I've had issues myself with that.

Both sleep focus and regular alarms (I use both as I wake up way too slow) work fine with the watch. But I feel like if I didn't have it I 100% WOULD miss alarms.

I don’t sleep with my watch on, one day I did, and the watch caused me to miss my alarm because it does the vibration on the wrist but it wasn’t enough for me to wake up.

I’ve been using my iPhone alarm for 10 years and it’s never failed me…..until that one time I kept my watch on…..i didnt like it that it tried to wake me up gently.

My alarm on iPhone uses: Bright-Eyed sound

How often do you have this problem? So far it only happened to me on 1 day (twice on the same day). I went into the Cellular settings and turned off Wifi Assist. Not sure if that made a difference or maybe it's just a coincidence, but I have not had the problem since changing that setting. I would also note that my provider is Verizon. Not sure if this is a carrier specific issue.
