Re: alarm not sounding at end of work-out on apple Watch
Hi, I definitely get that. Unfortunately, if I'm going to return the watch, I have to do it within fourteen days, so don't really have the luxury of waiting to see if it gets fixed. :) I'd rather return it now and then try again later, then end up with a watch where this feature doesn't work.
