Here is the new Alarm utility included in the Windows 8.1 Preview update

Windows 8.1 Preview comes not only with UI improvements, but also with new Metro apps, including an Alarm tool that also packs a timer and a stopwatch.

As you can see in these photos, the interface is specifically designed for the touch, so the Alarm app is most likely supposed to be used on tablets, such as Microsoft’s own Surface RT.

The UI, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to be too polished, so the amount of grey is a bit overwhelming at some point.

Of course, everybody expects the Alarm app to receive major improvements in the stable version of Windows 8.1, but more details will probably be provided in the coming weeks.

According to rumors, Windows 8.1 RTM is projected to be revealed in October just in time for the holiday season.
