Description

Verification
  • I searched for similar issues (including closed issues) and found none was relevant.
Introduce the issue

Twice or three times I have accidentally turned off my alarm after setting it.

The only way to check if the alarm is still set is to enter the alarm screen, and observe that the switch is on, and potentially risk accidentally touching the switch (clumsy) as you press the button to exit the screen. I end up checking this three times after I set it, to make sure it's still enabled.

Preferred solution

A way to be very confident that the alarm is set, is to put an alarm icon indicator on the watch face. Most watches I've previously had did have such an indicator.

This obviously involves trying to see where there is space to put it on each face.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the watch-face implementations and the alarm state used by the firmware; define how an active alarm should appear on each face, then verify the indicator remains visible and accurate across the supported watch faces.
