My wife and I both have Series 7 Apple Watches, with latest firmware. My wife's watch will not play the louder nightstand mode style alarm chime even when the watch is on the charger and the nightstand mode display is active. Instead, when her alarm goes off, the chime is the less-loud dinging sound that you would hear if it was not charging. My Series 7 however chimes correctly in nightstand mode.

We have checked that the latest firmware is installed, and tried deleting and recreating alarms on the watch (not on the phone). Regardless, hers will not play the correct louder sound that she needs to actually wake up.

My next step is a wipe and restore, but wanted to check first for any other suggestions.
