[Request] Alarm that require solving a puzzle/task to stop

It would be nice to have an alarm that requires a task to stop it. My idea for a task is to press the buttons in a random order every time the alarm goes off. This can be done by having 1, 2, 3 and 4 next to the buttons, and press them in order. Or have a 4 digit number shown on screen that contains numbers that are defined by the buttons. IE, the watch face can look something like this - if formatting allows:
4                 1

      

2                3

And it changes the order every time. 

A nice bonus would be to let you display anything as an alarm message. Such as "Breakfast time" or "Dentist".

The reason for this is that I tend to instantly turn off my alarms with muscle memory, and sometimes I don't even notice they they've gone off. And sometimes I've forgotten what the alarm was for.

  • Connect IQ apps can't interact with device alarms, though.

    As far as implementing an "alarm" with an app, I think the best you can do is have the watch prompt you to open your app at a predetermined time in the future, which isn't quite what you're looking for. I don't think you can get the kind of continuous alarm that you're looking for, especially not with the requirement of having a special way of dismissing it.

    I think it's a great idea. I would also use this app. It doesn't have to be a puzzle. In my opinion, any simple game that takes a few minutes will do.
