Thank you. Software revision is 17.1.2.

within the Clock App are special functions, ie, Alarm, Stopwatch, and Timer.

Timer is the problem. Previously, before the last upgrade, or maybe the one before that, because there were two upgrades within about a week. When setting the time to count down to alarm, the timer used to show the alarm time. It doesn’t now. By that I mean, if the current time is 3pm, and I set the timer to alarm in 1 hour, the time of the alarm would be displayed. It would read 4pm. This is not a problem until minutes are involved. For example, if the current time is 3:17pm and I need a reminder at 5:53pm, then I have to do the math to put in the correct amount of time to count down. I hate this. It makes no sense that this predicted alarm time was removed.

I realize that I could use the Alarm function to do this but I have had to before and I shouldn’t have to change when the software could just be returned to the previous state.


is this a clear enough statement? Interesting that there is no access to clock options in the Settings App.
