Using Clock, Stocks, and Weather
Apple Watch includes the Alarm app for setting alarms, the World Clock app for tracking the time in different cities, the Stopwatch app for timing events, and the Timer app for counting down a set period. Apple Watch also includes the Stocks app and the Weather app.
Set Alarms
The Alarm app enables you to set as many alarms as you need directly on Apple Watch. You can choose which days of the week — if any — you want the alarm to repeat; enable or disable the snooze function, which lets you get a few more minutes of sleep before the alarm rings again; and name the alarm so that you can identify it easily. After setting an alarm, you can turn it on or off as needed.
