I have noticed that when I need to use the "Find My Watch" feature through my Galaxy Wearables app, the volume of the Ring remains the same as the set volume at the given time. I usually keep the ring volume low as I can hear it when I need to, while wearing it. But if I take it off without increasing the volume, the "Find My Watch" option is kind of useless.
I have not been able to find the right settings but I think this is something that should be set across all devices using the "Find My" feature. It kind of seems logical, so assuming it is a bug or something. It works the other way around, I can find my phone no matter what state it is currently in.
The same should apply to the Galaxy Watch Ultra, but appears to be missing or not functioning properly.
I don't even keep the sound on at all on my watch, yet when I use the Find app, It rings, and I can hear it. Maybe because it's just so quiet in my house. But, you also have to realize that the watch has a tiny speaker, so you aren't going to get a strong sound out of it, even if you have the volume all the way up. The highest volume is still so low that only the user and perhaps someone standing next to them can hear it. If you have a large living space, you are still going to have to move around until you hear the sound. You are not going to hear it downstairs in your kitchen, if it's upstairs in your bathroom.
It is very loud on full volume, which is why I keep the volume at a lower level. You brought up a great point that I forgot to include so thank you. The alert is sent to the watch when it is on vibrate or silent and the Ring will also be loud. Does yours play at the loudest volume when using the Find My app or does the volume play at the same level the sound is set to? I have a loud echo in my apartment as well and the issue is not with the volume limit at all, this watch provides great volumes when playing music or on a call.
I just think the Alert settings should be defaulted to the loudest volume and not allow the user to change that setting. Maybe it is just my watch but I dont remember it being thr case when I first purchased the watch. Which is why I think it could just be a bug. I only wanted to share my experience so Samsung might see it and correct the bug.
I don't have a volume level set. I have the sound muted. I have the media volume on for when I have my buds in, but media volume is a separate control from ringtone or notification, and I vary the volume depending on which ear gear I am using and how noisy it is when I am using them. It's usually set about midrange. The point is a actually moot with me, because if my watch is not on my wrist, it's on the charger, and the charger is in a singular location, but I have tested it on occasion. I'm much more likely to use find my phone from the watch.
