An alarm which wakes me each morning should be repeatable. E.g. Alarm #1 is Mon-Fri 6AM.
An alarm which wakes me each morning should be able to be different on weekends. E.g. Alarm #2 is Sat-Sun 8AM.
Therefore the clock should have the capability to set alarms both for the following morning "wake me in the morning" and for some days hence "It's monday and I just bought this phone, but I want to set my Saturday alarm now while I'm in the app setting my weekday alarm".
It's not reasonable to expect me to set tomorrow (being Tuesday) repeat alarm for Mon-Fri now (on Monday) and have to wait until Saturday to set it.
Which is what I'm getting from the implication that Clock does "now" alarms, Calendar does "later" alarms.
So the alarm functionality should be able to set alarms (not events, those are for the calendar) for any arbitrary time in the next 23h59m and allow them to be set to repeat. I should also be able to set an alarm for a different time for a future day in the next 6 days, and have it repeat. Anything other than this basic functionality seems out of scope.
