Alarm Countdown
When the current time reaches one hour before an alarm

will be displayed in the right digital dial while the watch is
in the Timekeeping Mode.
Note
x Pressing A while an alarm countdown is in progress
will display the day of the week in the right digital dial for

two seconds. After that, the countdown will appear.
x If an alarm countdown for another alarm starts while a previous alarm countdown is
already in progress, it will be displayed after the ongoing countdown reaches zero
and its alarm sounds.
