To effectively turn off an alarm on your Google Pixel Watch, especially for permanent cessation, the primary method involves deleting the alarm. This action ensures the alarm will no longer activate at its set time. Additionally, you can modify how an alarm alerts you without turning it off entirely.
Turning Off an Alarm by Deleting It
The most direct way to prevent an alarm from going off in the future is to delete it from your Pixel Watch. This action removes the alarm entry completely.
Steps to Delete an Alarm:
- Navigate to the Alarms List: On your Pixel Watch, open the Alarms app to view your list of set alarms.
- Select the Alarm to Edit: Tap on the specific alarm you wish to turn off or delete. This will take you to the "edit alarm" page.
- Locate the Delete Option: Once on the edit alarm page, look for the trash can icon usually located at the bottom of the screen.
- Confirm Deletion: Tap the trash can icon to delete the alarm. The alarm will now be permanently turned off and removed from your list.
Adjusting Alarm Alert Types
While not "turning off" an alarm, you can also customize how an alarm alerts you from the same "edit alarm" page. This allows you to choose the alert method without deleting the alarm entirely.
From the edit alarm page, you have the option to set if an alarm will alert you by:
- Sound: The watch will play an audible tone.
- Vibrate: The watch will vibrate silently.
- Both: The watch will both sound and vibrate.
To go back to your main alarms list after making changes or deleting an alarm, simply follow the on-screen prompts or navigation gestures.
Alarm Management Options at a Glance
For clarity, here's a summary of the alarm management options discussed:
| Alarm Management Action | Description | Impact on Alarm |
|---|---|---|
| Delete an Alarm | Access the "edit alarm" page for a specific alarm and tap the trash can icon at the bottom. This action permanently removes the alarm. | Turns Off (Permanently) |
| Set Alert Type | From the "edit alarm" page, select whether the alarm will alert you via sound, vibration, or both. This changes the alarm's behavior but does not prevent it from going off at the scheduled time. | Modifies Alert (Alarm Remains On) |
By utilizing the delete function, you can effectively turn off any unwanted alarms on your Pixel Watch.
