Feature request : access to alarms for warchfaces

Users can set alarms right?

Can we have access to this API for watch faces please?

If a user creates an alarm and uses a custom (one of our developed watch faces) we MUST HAVE a way to flag / show etc an alarm else the the custom watch face concept is pointless!

Thank you!

Please, consider this simple yet IMPORTANT watch face basic 'feature' as ESSENTIAL.

Garmin?

Surely a watch face had to have access to alarm data, it's a watch! What I'd like is to be able to display an icon showing an alarm is set.

I presume that when running a certain watch face if the alarm goes off a message is shown on the screen?

Also can we have the ability to set and test alarms in the simulator?

THANKS!

I've reported this for consideration, because I don't think this is available yet. I know we have plans to add alarms that would be used to wake an app or a widget at a specific time, but that's a little different than letting you check to see whether an alarm has been set in the system settings.

Thanks!

Look at it this way.

1) I believe the default watch face shows that alarm is set. Therefore a custom watch face should also be able to show an alarm is set.
2) It's a watch face. If I set an alarm on my bedside clock, it shows an alarm is set with a small bell icon. I and many others have asked for this same functionality.

Thanks!
