I have TWO Apple Watches and my morning alarm goes off on BOTH

I’m in same boat. I don’t want to have to specify which watch is for sleep. I use both regularly and I would just like the one “not in use” at the time to remain silent.

But what should I do, if I'm wearing them by turns and switch only when one on the wrist runs out of battery? So I don't have special one for sleep. Switch that option everyday before bed? Looks ugly. I think there should be an option to alarm only on active one.

I am in the same situation, that I cycle two watches daily. Here is what I do:

1. In the Apple Health app (on iPhone), I set my sleep schedule with the Wake Up Alarm option turned off. This will allow the Health App to still track your sleep, but you don't set the alarm there.
2. In the Clock app (on iPhone), I set a new alarm for the time I want to wake up. Choose 'none' for Sound and 'none' for Vibration. This will make your iPhone have a silent alarm that will only show on screen.
3. In the Watch app (on iPhone), make sure it is set to 'Auto Switch' under All Watches. Next, scroll down to the Clock app option, turn on 'Push Alerts from iPhone'.

That's it. This should make only the Apple Watch you are wearing to vibrate when the Wake Up Alarm on your iPhone goes out in the morning. The other Watch on the charger will not receive notifications from the iPhone and should not vibrate.

I am glad it is working out for you. But this is exactly what I do NOT want. I need the ability to wear whichever watch to sleep, and only the one I am wearing will have the alarm going off; and whichever one on the charger will not have alarm going off.

Yeah, that’s what I wanted too. But my older one is a series 4 while my newer one is a 6. And it’s the only way I’ve found to do this. I’m hoping Apple keeps tabs on this and makes a change that whichever watch is connected to your iPhone, is the only one used during sleep mode.

Update - I found a (not perfect but better than nothing) solution to this problem. It is to turn the Alert volume to zero on both Apple Watches that I have. This can be done on the watch under Settings, Sounds and Haptics; or use the Watch app on iPhone.

Again, the whole point here is to allow me to switch between my two Apple Watches whenever I want, while leaving the unused one on charger. Whichever watch I wear will track my sleep and wake me up by vibration (based on the alarm set within the sleep app). The downside is that the watch I wear will not ring an audio alarm because the Alert volume is turned down all the way (which I am happy to give up; I could easily use my phone for audio alerts).

The upside is that the watch on the charge will also not make a sound at all. It will not vibrate either when it is docked on the charger.

Replying to my own post - on further testing, the above didn't work; the Apple Watch on charger was still sounding the alarm.

My other suggestion at this point is, in Step 2, do not set the alarm using the Clock App. Instead, use the calendar app and set an event (with alert) at the time I want to wake up. This won't be a persistent alarm, just one vibration. It works for me as I am a light sleeper. May be there are other 3rd party alarm apps out there that would only buzz the Apple Watch being worn?

I found that I need to use just one of the watches for sleeping. On my older watch, I hit the “don’t use this watch for sleep” at bottom of sleep screen while wearing and just use the new one to monitor my sleeping. This seems to keep it from going off in alarm while docked.

Based on what I have been able to find you cannot specify which watch the Sleep Alarm goes off on. You should be able to control the other alarms though.

Thank you! This was driving me nuts for a week.

Ha, the same exact issue. Thanks for the info.
