To have an alarm that you have set on your Apple Watch provide only a vibration-based / haptic alert, enable Silent Mode.


Silent Mode can be enabled:


Via Control Centre on your Apple Watch, by tapping the Silent Mode button (crossed out bell icon): or via the Watch app on your iPhone:


Via Settings on your Apple Watch:


Via the Watch app on your iPhone:


  • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > Sounds & Haptics > enable Silent Mode.


Also check that haptic intensity is set to the central or right hand position on the Haptic Strength slider, either within the Watch app (also under Sounds & Haptics) or directly on your Apple Watch:


Adjust brightness, text size, sounds, and haptics


Note that:


  • Silent Mode will also affect other sound-based alerts.
  • Silent Mode does not mute alarms when your Apple Watch is on the charger and connected to power.
