Q: Apple Watch Timer app is setting alarms
I'm seeing some weird behaviour with the watch OS3 Timer app: When the countdown time is reached I get the usual 'Timer Done' screen with the ringing bell and haptic feedback. I tap the 'Stop' and the alerts stop. So far so good, but after 1 or 2 seconds an alarm goes off saying 'COUNT_DOWN_TIME_REACHED'. Obviously I know this, I just dismissed it in the Timer app so why also the notification from the Alarms app? This never happened in OS1 or OS2. Is it supposed to be a new 'feature' for OS3? Is there a way to turn it off?

I had this exact same problem but it was solved after I unpaired my watch from my iPhone and paired it again. You can unpair your watch via your watch settings > general or via the Watch app on your phone via the -button. Don't forget to make a back-up first!
