Hello, my Apple Watch is working well. But in the morning, every time rings the alarm, a little orange dot appears on the display, just above the orange button.
That dot doesn’t appear on other screens: only when the alarm rings.
Does anybody knows why?

Hey there! That little orange dot you're seeing when your alarm rings is actually a notification indicator. It's a way your Apple Watch is telling you that you have an unread notification. In this case, it's likely related to your alarm going off. You can check this by swiping down on your watch face when you see the dot, which should show you your unread notifications. Hope this helps!

That’s not it. The unread notification indicator is a red dot at the top of the screen.

The orange dot here is most likely a period. This is where the name of the alarm displays. Check your alarm settings and rename it, or create a new one without specifying a name to have it default to “Alarm” or whatever it is for your language.

Many thanks! That was a space + dot on the alarm label! Strange that I don’t remember I ever entered any label there.
But it works!
