Manage alarms on your Samsung smart watch

When your phone and watch are Bluetooth-connected, alarms set on your phone will sound on both devices, but won't sync with your watch's Alarm app. Alarms added or edited on your watch are exclusive to the watch, and deleting them will remove them only from the watch. Use the Galaxy Wearable app to manage Galaxy Fit alarms.
