Welcome to Android Central! Have you actually turned the alarm off? Open the Clock/Alarm app, go to the Alarms section, and turn off any alarms that have been turned on.
 
Are you certain it's the alarm icon from the stock Clock/Alarm app? Could it be a similar-looking icon from a different app? What happens if you set an alarm using the stock Clock/Alarm app--do you see another alarm icon appear next to the one you're talking about?
 
It's an alarm clock - when I did set an alarm - this tiny clock showed up - after the alarm went off, it went away, since that - the alarm clock icon pops up every day - I have no alarms set - What would be a similar looking icon that looks like a clock - I don't use my phone a lot, no added aps -I set an alarm and no other icon shows up beside the one that keeps sporadically showing up
 
Try to restart the phone in safe mode to see if you still have the same problem.

Go to Settings-Applications-Application Manager and look for the Clock App, try clearing cache and data under storage settings.
 
How do you start in safe mode - I'm not ignorant, I just went from having an S4 phone for 4 years with NO problems, to this phone - I'm trying to understand the features and why it's doing this stuff. Thanks
 
Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I have the same issue.

No alarms are set in the Clock app (only clock app on the phone)

I have an S7 Edge so wondering if its a bug.......
 
I now have the same issue with my S5 . Started 2 days ago. Clearing the cache and data helps then a few minutes later its back.
 
I had a similar icon, but wasn't an alarm icon at all. In my case, the icon simply means the location is on daylight savings time.

OP, did you check to see if smart stay is turned on? Icon is a clock with an 'eye' lower right.

I noticed the same clock icon in my status bar under Marshmallow. It turned out to be an app called Tasker that I installed which had a setting "Use Reliable Alarms" set to "Always".
 
Has anyone found a resolution to this issue? I too have a clock/alarm icon that has recently showed up in my notification bar and I don't have any alarms set. After the icon showed up, I installed the Clock+ app which has the option to hide the alarm icon but that is not working either.
 
I just want to add a message that says "me too". I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. I have been searching on Google for hours and have seen no solution (that works) for getting rid of the alarm clock icon.
 
I believe you have an app that has triggered an alarm state on your device. I have the app called Tasker on my tablet and I configured the app's settings for "Alarms Reliable?" to "Always" and that caused the constant alarm icon to appear in the notification bar.
