One UI 8 BROKE my Watch 5 alarm tile

[ScottBob]

Anyone else having issues with their watch alarms since the update? On the watch tile, it only shows one alarm. To see all my alarms, I have to long-press on the tile, then click edit, then also click the edit icon. And within the list, I can't delete any alarms! Long-pressing the alarms does nothing.

Surely they don't expect us to edit the tile every time we want to change alarms? Before, I could just click the tile to enter my alarms list. Huge loss of function in One UI 8...

Iit broke a LOT more than just that , the Facer app is completely useless now because the UI 8 update has made it to where you can't use any of the Facer Watchfaces on the watches , i got a feeling that Samsung gave everyone the middle finger and said screw you your not going to be allowed to use Watchfaces or apps from third-party developers , and their update has ruined a lot of the stuff on the watches.

That's not the OneUI update that "broke" the facer app, it's Google's new design language for the watch faces.  The developer of Facer must update their app to be in compliance.  Until they do, you will not be able to use Facer watch faces.

It looks like you have to add a widget on a tile for each alarm you set.  Which is why there's a slim tile and a full tile.  You can stack the slim tiles

Yea, but I still don't see a way to delete alarms I've set. And the names I gave the recurring alarms don't show up in the tiles, even though they're enormous compared to the simple list from before. Still seems like it's broken because all they've added are more clicks and more scrolling for less functionality

Sorry, can't help you there.  I never used the alarm tile on my watches to begin with.  I don't delete alarms.  I just either turn them off or change the time instead of creating a new alarm.  If I set an alarm on my phone, I can see it there.  If I go to the alarm app on the watch, I can see/set/turn off the alarms that are on either device. 

I understand I am not the norm, but if I can tap the alarm app and see/do all that, I don't see a need to use a tile for it.  But, then again, I don't often set alarms, so it's not that critical for me.

Ok, I was thumbing around my watch more today and found out that if I go to the Alarms app (NOT opening it through the tile, which is what I had always done, but going to my app drawer and opening it from there), it's the same interface as before. So it just seems like the tiles have this new interface. Not sure this new tile UI adds any value, but at least I found the old interface!

If you set a lot of alarms, you can use a customizable watch face and add a complication to add a shortcut to the alarm app so you don't have to keep swiping to the app drawer to check or set your alarms.  One of the dashboard or info board faces.  I use a complication for the timer app, since I use it a lot more than the alarm app and when I set a timer it keeps the countdown running in the complication, so I don't have to use the now bar.  I assume that if you put the alarm app in a complication, it will show you the next up alarm when one is set.

That's a good idea. I also use the timer complication
