Q: alarms app on apple watch keeps  turning alarms off

I have an apple watch 1st generation running OS 3.0.  After I unpaired it with my iphone 6 and paired it with my iphone 7 the alarm app on the apple watch keeps randomly turning off some of my alarms.  I can swipe to turn it on and it stays for a few seconds and the automatically turns it off.

Apple Watch, watchOS 3

    Hi DAB59,


    I understand that your alarms on your Apple Watch appear to be turning themselves off. In such a situation it can often help to simply restart your Apple Watch.
    1. Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off your device.
    3. After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo.

    Restart your Apple Watch

    All my best!

    I had already tried that with no success.  I am a teacher with a lot of alarms I like to set.  What I found is that I can only have 30 working alarms.  After that any alarm I add will not allow me to turn it on. I slide it to green and then it turns itself off.

    I also have this problem. I am also a teacher and have 11 alarms set to go off on weekdays. Only four will stay on, all the rest slide back off as soon as I slide them on. I never had this problem with my original Apple watch which ran the previous software. please fix this soon or I will be sending this one back!!

    Same issue with my 1st gen watch.  No issues until the update.  Any new/modified alarm won't stay green.  Another is since updating to watchOS 3 is when I use the watch as a remote for my iTunes on my Mac mini it actually make itunes shutdown unexpectedly.  Again never had this issue on watchOS 2.  Turning on and off the watch does nothing.  I'm going to unpair and repair...since that's what support will make me do.  Might as well do it without a phone to my ear.
