Apple Watch Syncing with iPhone

Any advice on how to sync my alarms from my iPhone XR to my Apple Watch 5? I have followed the mirroring steps and have tried resetting both my iPhone and Watch. The alarms continue to show “off” on my watch and will not sync with the iPhone.

The iPhone alarms don’t show up on your watch and vice versa. This is the set up to push your iPhone alarms to your watch so you don’t miss an alarm. Set each device’s alarms separately.


If your iPhone is unlocked your watch won’t display or sound the alarm, it assumes you noticed it on your iPhone.
