Manage alarms on your Samsung smart watch

When your phone is connected to your watch through Bluetooth, alarms you have set on the phone will be heard on both devices. However, the alarms will not sync or appear in the Alarm app on the watch. When you add or edit an alarm on the watch, the alarm will show on the watch or will be removed once deleted. To manage alarms for the Galaxy Fit, use the Galaxy Wearable app.

Note: Available screens and settings may vary by wireless service provider, software version, and model.

Add an alarm

Note: Alarms will automatically be silenced on your watch when Theater mode is turned on.

You can add an alarm on your watch to ring or vibrate at a specific time. Keep in mind that the alarm will only show and ring or vibrate on the watch, not the connected phone. 

Galaxy Watch4, Galaxy Watch3, or Galaxy Watch Active2

On newer watch models, alarms that you've added on the connected phone should automatically appear on your watch. But you can also manually add alarms to the watch if needed.

1. Navigate to the Apps screen and open the Alarm app.

2. Tap Add on watch or Add, choose your desired time, and then tap Next.

3. Choose what days you'd like the alarm to repeat, and then tap Next. If prompted, set other options like the alarm sound.

4. When you're finished, tap Save.

Dismiss an alarm

When an alarm goes off on your watch, you can quickly dismiss it so the alarm sound doesn't bother those around you.

The steps for dismissing an alarm are basically the same on all watch models. As the watch is ringing, touch and drag the X to turn off the alarm; just tapping the X will not silence it. You can use the same steps with the Snooze icon if you'd prefer to snooze the alarm instead.
