I bought this watch wanting a water proof, rugged watch with a alarm feature.  Great watch and great quality.  Worth every penny and very happy with it.  The alarm feature is not easy to figure out, but I love everything else about the watch and the style.  Looks great, feels great.  Just gotta figure out the alarm feature> The owners manual gives you a clue, but it's not specific to this particular watch. Meaning it gives you a clue, but does not solve the crime.  The same manual is probably used for ALL of their Victorinox watches, but with the added two button feature makes it a little complex.
