You can set the daily alarms in 1-minute increments. The watch beeps for 10 seconds when the current time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches the alarm time you set. There are three independent alarms, and all of them operate the same way. The Hourly Time signal causes the watch to beep every hour on the hour.

When you enter the Alarm Mode, the screen for the alarm that was displayed when you last exited the mode appears first.
