they all have trials...
I use alarmToday
SPB Time does not work, the alarm doesn't wake up, and when you turn the phone on after it is due, it then starts alarming.
I use ptravelalarm, love it. I like the big "Stop" and "Snooze" buttons that appear on the screen when the alarm goes off and it has all the other features. I notice on WM6 that the alarm wont sound unless you disable security alerts, but I think everyone here does that anyway.

Exactly - at least you are sure it won't crash/fail to get sound to play etc.. and you won't miss the plane
You can make alarm.lnk with contents:
00#"\Windows\settings.exe" alarm.cpl.xml
and bind a keystroke to it to set alarm quickly.
This is the first time I ever say something +ve about M$ Product
Anyone have link to this alarm you guys love so much. I've tried Sbd time but thats failed me a couple of time so my search continues.
I have WM6, where would I be able to disable security alerts?

The alarm peeps r talking bout is the default Windows Mobile alarm.
Nevertheless, I would go for pocketalarm. Plays MP3's. Dunno if it will run on WM6.

If you mean the soundsettings for alert:
Go to start > settings> sounds and alerts
If you mean something else... could you be more specific?
Try en AlarmPPC. Nice reliable alarm clock. Works under WM6

LlamaV3 mentions disabling security alerts. So I couldn't tell anything more on that other than it was mentioned in this post.
Right now I'm giving a shot to the alarm LlamaV3 mentioned but I'll def look into the rest mentioned by you guys. I do depend on my phone as an alarm so I need to find that perfect reliable alarm.
Thanks for your help guys.
I use CHRONOS from ActiveKitten. I'm loving it.
You can set snooze time to 5, 10, 15 and more
BIG snooze button on your screen will allow you to tap on it and sleep again
Best feature, the alarm sound can increase from low then going to louder and louder. Of course, you would be able to set the increase time. It also does vibrate or not.
It also includes Stop Watch...
Works on WM6.. never let me down except that one time, my SD card was accidentally ejected. My fault though...
And what I found out this morning: With pocketalarm you can use the powerbutton as the snooze button... So I don't even have to open my eyes to snooze
I like the Alarm included with WM6. Lets you set three separate alarms, all with different sound, vibrate and flash options.
Occasionally my phone won't sound the alarm or vibrate (I set this in the hope that the phone will vibrate!!).
When I finally wake up (late for work!!) the screen is showing that the alarm is still 'operating' (offering me dismiss and snooze options) but not a peep.
My wife's phone does the same thing. I'm on Orange and she's on Vodafone.
I haven't got angry birds, I has ES Track Manager but uninstalled that, but that had no effect.
Anyone had similar experiences? Or know how to fix this? Its more frustrating that it is occasional rather than all the time. It would be easier to diagnose!
I've read some posts about phone getting a bit warm, but mine doesn't seem to.
Cheers,
Mike.

That is my alarm and never have had a problem.
HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio
You can try going to settings-sounds-volume and manually set the alarm volume.
A long shot: turn off phone remove the battery and turn on.
Or download an app from the market. I suggest Alarm Clock Plus. (Free)
I've been reading a lot of threads, where it's very cleared that the alarm program as it's an app, the cellphone must be on but I've a star n9770, Android 4.1.2 chinese cellphone, and it's possible to turn off the cellphone and make the alarm ring in the morning with the cellphone off. Can anyone explain these?
Try NoMoarPowah! app

Is there any other apps for that? Isn't a system built in feature to sound alarm when turned off?
We all know that s-voice on the G2 leaves a lot to be desired. Especially if you've used "OK Google" on an Android Wear watch.
Or S-Voice on a Galaxy phone. Or even s-voice on the old Gear 1 that was running Android. Even S-Voice on the Tizen-based Gear 2 was better.
However, it's not useless. In fact, I use it a lot. I've found a few "workarounds" to some of the shortcomings and bugs, as well as some tricks to get it to do what you want it to do. Thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for people to share their discoveries.
Also, post questions too -- there may be a way to accomplish with S-Voice what you want to, and someone else has figured it out.
Post away!
TIP: The S2 seems to be using a very aggressive AGC on the microphone, so recognition is much better if you speak with a clear, loud (not yelling, more like discussion at a meeting table loud) voice, and hold the watch as close to your face as you can (but no closer than 6 inches or so). This will ensure that the AGC turns down the gain and masks out background noise.
QUESTION: Anyone find a way to select from multiple contact matches by voice only? If there are more than one match (say a Jr and a Sr, S-Voice doesn't pay attention to those) it will display both and ask to pick one, which as far as I've been able to determine, can only be done by touch.
Not good if you're sending a text via voice while driving.
Thanks good idea but I long gave up on s voice tried it with the G2 even worse
Please more tips! I used voice on android wear a ton to make reminders, alarms, and text. S voice struggles to find contacts, has no reminders, and often says it can't connect. Boo!!

I have a Huawei Android Wear watch. The Google App (handles the voice stuff and other good Googleness) and the InstaWeather watch faces are the only thing I just can't live without on the S2. There's no comparison between S-Voice and "OK Google". It's like comparing the intelligence of a human to a mouse.
But it is what it is. And the S2 3G has features that, in balance, win me over and make me hold my nose with S-Voice. Given that, might as well figure out as a community how to get the most out of it, and keep our fingers crossed (I'm not too hopeful) that Samsung will improve it.
Far more likely is someone creating a Tizen app to bridge over to the Google app. Or figure out a way to host the android wear version within Tizen. Or who knows. I have much more faith in the hacker community than I do in Samsung when it comes to this.
TIP: When answering affirmative to send a text message, email, etc., say, "OK" not "Yes". I've had 100% success with OK, not always with Yes in noisy environments (sometimes gets "S", sometimes nothing).
TIP: No reminders like on Google App, but you can get the same functionality for time-based reminders with alarms. Try,
"Set alarm four fourty-five pm, pick up Kris"Works as well as, "remind me to pick up Kris at four fourty-five pm"
One question (looking for a tip or a simple answer). When I receive a message via sms or whatsapp or facebook messenger I can choose to reply with an emoticon, a premade phrase, the keyboard or svoice.
Every time I select s voice I see the mic (blue icon on the bottom of the screen) but no matter what I do it won't detect my voice and type the message.
How do I make it listen and dictate the message?

Hmmmm... that's not the way mine works. I get the microphone on the blue arc background, and a two-tone prompt to start talking (I suppose you don't hear this on the classic and sport). After a brief pause (a second or so) I start speaking and it picks up my voice and transcribes it. While listening, there is one of those wiggling "volume lines" horizontally across the arc, and the mike is gone.

I tried this today and discovered a bug in the S Voice alarms. I said "Set alarm for seven o'clock pm" and it showed an alarm, set for today, at 7:00 pm. All is well, or so I thought. The alarm never went off. When I went into alarms, it was set for tomorrow, not today. Tried many more times with different commands, like "set alarm for TODAY" or "set alarm for Thursday" and each time the alarm looked correct in S Voice, but when I go to the alarm app, it is set for one day later.

Just checked it, same here. Even stranger, if you press the little active/inactive green button for the alarm to disable it, then again to re-enable it, it corrects itself to the right day and works.
A workaround, but not really. The whole point is to be completely hands-free.
So here's my list:
1. Cannot set a reminder off the watch ala Google Reminder.
2. Heart rate and distance measurement is not accurate.
3. Vibration is weak and easily missed.
Things I like:
1. Still the best looking watch out there.
2. I can make my own faces.
3. Links to my phone for messages.
Just sayin'.
You can change vibration strength in gear settings
You can download the app (on gear) for set reminders, from app or s voice.
Tried it. Can't set date and doesn't sync with phone. It really needs to sync with Google Reminders. Thats a finished product.
You ask too much

I agree with you. There are't any way to set a reminder in the phone from the whatch.
The gear alarm app only set alarm in gear and also you can't set a date or any message!!!
The reminder app can set a date and a message, but only will rise a notification in the gear that is easy to be unattended, this is not an alarm.
Do you know, guys, any app to set an alarm with a message in the gear? And to set an alarm to the phone? Or set an alarm at the phone that alert you in the whatch? I have been looking for it without any result.
And yes, the vibration is week to attend an alarm, even when you set it to 'strong' and 'large'.

An app called My Tasks isn't perfect, probably but comes the closest. Once installed on both devices, tasks can be created on either, and will sync across them, and be displayed on both. Notification sounds can also be assigned.

If there was an AndroidWear watch as good looking and sized as the S2 I would think of a switch. But there isn't.

I liked how my android wear watch interacted with google's "clock" app (esp alarms) on my phone. That's probably what I miss most after switching to the S2. The S2 is oblivious to events from that app. The best alternative I've found is Samsung's "clock" app (easy on a Samsung phone, otherwise ??). It's not as versatile as Google's but you can have multiple, labeled alarms that appear and can be dismissed/snoozed with the watch. For me it's good enough.

Seem not works after last Gear Update Now I can't dismiss the Samsung Phone alarm from the watch, worked before but stopped now.
Can I change any of the hardware button combinations other than double-tap Home?
And how do I get rid of Samsung Pay? It doesn't even work here.
Hi all can anyone help?? Iv a samsung s 2 watch and a samsung s7 phone I'm finding vibrations cery soft bearly hear them plus I don't seem to be getting notihications iv tried factory reset still nothing I ticked apps wanted to get notifications but still nothing!! When I go to homepage on watch shows "say two messages but I have not heard them come through only I went through watch I would have missed them!! Anyone got any ideas?
Honestly! Samsung needs to pay better attention to what customers say! I'm at the point in my contract of changing phones and that means watches! If they want to keep customers they better damn well get their act to tether on both customer service and support! Focus on what CUSTOMERS (those annoying people who pay your salary) want! There ARE other choices! !
