Q: Is there an audible alarm on Apple Watch?

Is there a way to set an audible alarm on the Watch so that it can be charging on my nightstand and still wake me up? If not, any 3rd party apps that would accomplish that?

Apple Watch, watchOS 2.2

    Hi

     

    Apple Watch can be placed into Nightstand mode, which enables you to use your watch as a beside clock with optional alarm:

     

    • Check that the option is enabled: on your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to My Watch (tab) > General > scroll down to Nightstand Mode.
    • Connect your watch to its charger (with power connected) or connect it to an Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock:
      • Place your watch on its side with the buttons facing up.
    • To see the time, tap the display or lightly nudge your watch:
      • By design, when your watch is in this mode, even nudging your bedside table may be sufficient.
    • If you also set an alarm using the Alarm Clock app on your watch, it will alert you at the specified time.
