Apple Watch loses alarm and timer sounds

I have an Apple Watch 6 with latest updates and iPhone X pro.

Yes, my alarm is set. Yes sound and notifications are on.

If I shutdown and reboot the watch, it will work properly again for a day or two, then next thing I know I wake up late because the alarm made no sound.

Husband and I have both tested it with various settings and resetting the watch. It will work fine for a day or two but then stops making alarm and timer sounds - one of the primary uses I have for my watch!

This has been happening a month or so.

Same thing keeps happening with my Apple Watch Ultra 1st gen. It's a very annoying issue, and not what you expect when you pay the premium for an Apple product. I use timers when cooking food, this issue has led to food being overcooked as the timer finishes, but I don't hear anything, only if I look at my watch do I then see that it has finished. And same with alarms, luckily I woke up before the alarm anyway. All very well that we can temporarily fix the issue by restarting the watch, but Apple should investigate and come up with a permanent fix.
