I get the idea-- I always keep the alarm clock across the room so I can't just turn it off and go back to sleep. But that wakes my wife. So it would be nice to have a private alarm, but still have to get up to turn it off.
I'll bet this will never happen with the Apple watch, though.
I'm thinking of being in an important business meeting and the watch alarm going off, but your phone is back in your office. Pretty embarrassing! Having no easy way to quickly shut off an alarm won't be a popular feature.
But, you can let Apple know you're interested in this idea:

- maybe they can think of a way to make it work.
