How to turn off the alarm clock on Xiaomi smart watches: all ways for Mi Band and Watch

Are you awake from the annoying vibrational signal of the Xiaomi Mi Band or Watch, but do not know how to turn it off quickly? Or the alarm went off at the wrong time - at an important meeting or during a child's sleep? In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to turn off the alarm clock on Xiaomi smart watches, including emergency methods when the gadget does not respond to touch.

The problem is that the alarm control interface differs not only from model to model (Mi Band 7, Watch S3, Smart Band 8), but also from the firmware version of MIUI for Watch. In addition, some users encounter a bug where the alarm continues to fire even after being removed through the application, we took into account all the nuances and collected current solutions for 2026, including hidden functions and workarounds.

1. Turn off the alarm clock directly on the clock

The fastest way is to deactivate the signal directly on the smartwatch screen without using a smartphone, which works on all Xiaomi models, starting with the Mi Band 5 and later, as well as on the Watch series.

When the alarm went off:

• 🔔 Click on the watch screen and the button “Delay” (for 5-10 minutes) or “Disable” will appear".
• ⏰ If the screen does not respond to touch, hold the physical button (on the Watch) S2/S3) during 3 Seconds, it will force the vibration to stop.
• 🔄 On the Mi Band. 7/8 swipe up the screen to open the notification bar, and tap the alarm icon.

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware MIUI Watch 2.6+ The “Disable” button may not be available, in which case you will need to use the Mi Fitness or Zepp Life app (see next section).

2. Removing alarm clocks through Mi Fitness or Zepp Life app

If you want to completely remove the alarm clock, rather than just turn it off for today, you will need an official app. The instructions are relevant for both programs (the interface is almost identical):

1. Open Mi Fitness or Zepp Life on your smartphone.
2. Go to the Profile section → My devices. → [Your watch model].
3. Select Alarms (or Reminders → Alarms in new versions).
4. Slip on the desired alarm clock and press "Delete" or move the slider to the "Off" position.

🔹 In Zepp Life (for the Watch) S3 And now, alarm clocks sync to the cloud. If you delete the signal on your watch, but it comes back, check your settings. → Synchronize data and disable the option "Restore alarms after reconnecting".

3. Suspension of alarm without removal (Do Not Disturb mode)

If the alarm is needed but temporarily interferes (for example, on weekends or during a business trip), it can be stopped without removing.

On the clock:

• 🌙 Go to Settings. → Don't disturb.
• 🕒 Set a schedule (for example, from 22:00 to 8:00) – during this period, all alarms and notifications will be blocked.
• 🔔 Alternative: Activate the Theatre mode (on the Watch series), which turns off vibration for 2 hours.

Through the annex:

• 📱 In Mi Fitness go to Profile → My devices. → Don't disturb mode".
• 🔄 Set exceptions: you can only turn off alarm clocks, leaving notifications about calls.

⚠️ Note: On Mi Band 6 and older, Do Not Disturb mode does not block alarms by default – you need to manually add an exception to the application settings.

4.Resetting alarm clocks through resetting clock settings

If the alarm clock is stuck and keeps going despite all the manipulations, resetting will help, which is also useful if you bought a used watch with someone else's alarm clock.

For the Mi Band:

1. Go to Settings → System → Resetting settings.
2. Confirm the action on the watch screen.
3. After the reset, all alarms and data (except steps) will be deleted.

For the Xiaomi Watch:

1. Press the physical button for 10 seconds before the menu appears.
2. Select Wipe Data (Data Erasure).
3. Connect the watch to the app again – the alarm clocks will disappear.

🔧 Technical detail: On some firmware MIUI Watch 1.4-2.0 reset does not remove alarm clocks created through Google Assistant, in which case you will need to untie your Google account in the settings of the clock.

5. Turn off the alarm clock via voice assistant (for Xiaomi Watch S3 and newer)

On a watch that supports Xiao AI or Google Assistant, you can turn off the alarm with a voice command, which is convenient if you are busy or the screen is locked.

1. Activate voice assistant: On Watch S3: hold the button for 2 seconds or say "Hey, Xiao AI." On Watch 2 Pro: swipe down the screen and tap on the microphone icon.
2. Tell one of the commands: "Cancel the next alarm" - only the nearest one will turn off. "Delete all alarms" - clear the list. "Switch off the alarm for tomorrow" - will suspend for 1 day.

⚠️ Note: Voice commands only work when the watch is connected to the Internet (via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth). + On the Mi Band without a display, this feature is not available.

💡

If the voice assistant doesn't recognize the command, try to reformulate it into English: "Cancel my alarm" or "Turn off all alarms." This works even in Chinese firmware.

6. Problem Solving: The alarm clock doesn't turn off

If none of these methods worked, the problem could be a software failure or hardware failure, and let's look at typical scenarios and solutions.

🛠️ Extreme method: If the alarm goes off randomly (e.g. every 10 minutes), it may indicate damage to the vibratory motor. In this case, only a service center will help - self-repair can lead to loss of water resistance.

💡

Before visiting the service center, back up your watch through Mi Fitness → Profile → Backup. This will save your workouts and settings.
