Setting an alarm for an event
You can set an alarm for minutes, hours, or days before an event.
When you set an alarm, an Alarm icon appears to the far right of the
event with the alarm. You set silent alarms for untimed events in the
same way, but instead of an sounding an audible alarm, the watch
displays a blinking indicator in the upper-left corner of the screen
(see “Understanding the blinking alarm indicator” below).
The alarm triggers at the specified period of minutes, hours, or days
before the event begins. For untimed events, the indicator appears
before midnight of the day on which the untimed event occurs. For
example, if you set a 5-minute alarm for an untimed event that
occurs on January 17, the blinking indicator will appear at 11:55
p.m. on the night of January 16.
To set an alarm for an event:
1. Tap the event to which you want to assign an alarm.
2. Tap Details.
3. Tap the Alarm check box to select it.

number from 0 to 99.
