![]() That’s exactly what I’m doing, and it’s not working–ugh! Don’t tap an alarm or timer. I even checked that user guide that said to tap the X button to stop an alarm and tap the zZ button to snooze it. And consequently, every time I tried turning that darn alarm off, it snoozed instead. When I couldn’t get the alarm to turn off, I thought maybe I was tapping on the wrong part of the screen, where the buttons overlap. ![]() Not only does tapping the X button not work, but they also overlapped the X and snooze buttons to make things even more confusing! And tapping the “z” inside a clock means snoozing that alarm.īut clearly, Samsung’s design team clearly doesn’t. Okay, maybe I’m the only one that thinks a giant X on your watch screen means tapping it turns the alarm off. It’s all about Samsung’s (terrible) design! Google’s clock app for the phone is a little different–it’s a blue clock face with a gray or white hour/minute hands.

To add confusion to the mix, both Samsung and Google offer an app called Clock. You’ll find these clock apps on all of Samsung’s watches, including older Tizen models like the Active 2 or Samsung Watch 3 and newer Wear OS 3 models like the Watch 5 or 4. The watch app I use on my Galaxy Watch is the Samsung Alarm app, that’s part of Samsung’s Clock app, including Timer, Stopwatch, and World Clock.

Since the app will still run in the background, the best way to cheat your way is to simply close the app. The app registers the slightest movement, so just moving your phone around would do the trick. The good thing, though, is it doesn’t need vigorous shaking. Worse, if you snooze and stop moving mid-alarm, the count will climb back up. It won’t shut off even if you turn your phone on silent or stop the app from running in the background. Motion is another alarm that doesn't stop until you move for a specific amount of time.
