The alarm label looks like it was written by a drunk person. Is it possible you did that and forgot ?
Absolutely not. I’m not a big drinker whatsoever. To me, it looks like it was written by someone who doesn’t know English (foreign hacker?) but how did it get on my watch?
Did you double check the pairing of your phone and watch and make sure the correct Apple Account is being used? Anyone else use your phone and or watch recently?
My phone and watch are paired with the same Apple account. I don’t take off my watch unless it’s being charged and nobody has access to it because it has a passcode.
Probably from Siri. She could have heard something that sounded like you wanted a 2:45 a.m. alarm with that name.
10/10 it is…
Turn off hey siri or talk to Siri by raising your wrist on settings so it doesn’t keep listening to you too much. It happens even if you raise your voice.
Thanks for all your responses. I definitely thought about Siri, but still don’t quite understand how those little emojis got there at the end.
FWIW, you're correct it definitely does read like it was written by someone with limited proficiency in English. Maybe try wiping the Watch and re-pairing it???
Also double check to make sure that if you’re typing something from the Watch don’t tap on the notification on your iPhone to use the keyboard on your iPhone to input it to the Watch
Maybe you might have been texting on your iPhone while creating an alarm on your Apple Watch to remind yourself when it’s time to pick up your child from daycare or school… or whatever alarm you needed for the afternoon.
Yeah, sounds like something Siri would have transcribed and interpreted as an alarm.
Perhaps Siri was listening to folk music, since it reads like song lyrics, lol.
You think about that
Does my boy
Doesn't my boy
You know it keeps falling.

😂 Is that right? Maybe the HomePod was blasting that song so loudly that the OP’s Apple Watch Series 7 accidentally heard it and it asked Siri to set it ! Some songs with rap lyrics even mention time, like “two in the morning” or “three in the morning.”
That's entirely plausible. I've had Siri mistake my saying something like, "Seriously,..." as if I said, "Siri..." and then try to act on whatever I said next as a command. So it's believable that something that sounds vaguely like Siri in a song or a conversation in the background could trigger Siri, leading Siri to interpret what follows as a command (in this case to set an alarm).
That’s why I turn off raise to speak on my Apple Watch.
Oh, and just so you know, there’s a settlement for these kinds of accidental Siri summoning issues for Apple Watch, iPhone, and iPad users. Have you heard about it? I think they emailed users about the Siri privacy settlement back in February through the Apple Accounts emails on the affected devices.
