[Watchface] Get alarm times

Hello everyone,

I'm creating my own watchface, and would like to add different "alarm icons" for different alarm times.
E.g.: if any of the alarms is set to a time earlier than 7 AM, I display an "Early Alarm" bitmap. If none of the alarms are set to a timer earlier than 7 AM, I just display an "Alarm On" bitmap. If no alarms are set, I display an "Alarm Off" bitmap.

My question: is it possible to loop through all alarms set on the device, and get the individual alarm times through the API? I found the "numberofalarms" property under System, which lists the amount of set alarms, but couldn't find anything to request the alarm properties (such as time, repeat, on/off, etc.).

Much appreciated!

Unfortunately, there is no access to the details of each alarm from ConnectIQ at this time. The only bit of data exposed is the alarmCount field you've already found.

Thanks for the response!
Is there any place to suggest additions/improvements to the API in next builds?

I would definitely want this, especially when I'm travelling I sometimes wonder have I set the alarm correctly.

It would make much faster to just glance watch face to see the next alarm time, and perhaps duration to it.

Thanks.

This is something that should 've been in Connect IQ 1.0 and something I've suggested a number of times over the past years but it has never made it to the api

You can create a feature request in the bug report forum to bring the issue back under the radar.
