My doctor wanted me to do a simple exercise every hour on the hour, so I purchased this watch because it has an alarm, that's all. I can't even set the current time! I'm not returning it because it would cost more to ship than it's worth. I've learned to read the comments posted on Amazon (my all time favorite site) and think I have found a good alarm watch. So, I'll give this to some unsuspecting teenager or young child and I'm sure they will love it.
