Apple Watch alarm "stop"

The Apple Watch "stop" alarm button is on the face of the watch, and sometimes it's difficult to find. I usually want to stop it, not snooze it. But the crown button, which is much easier to find without looking, is "snooze", which means it's gonna go off again in 10 minutes.

I wish could switch this - I rarely snooze alarms, and the crown is much easier to find in a hurry. Is it possible to set "stop "to the crown?

EDIT: I was looking at the Watch user Guide. When you have the device in Nightstand Mode, it shows you can use a tap on the power button to silence the alarm. I just tested it on my Watch while just wearing it, and I found that it works to turn the alarm off that way even while wearing it. Try it some time.
