How do i stop alarm going off on watch

Since the IOS14 update my sleep/wakeup alarm either goes off on my iPhone or on my iwatch.

I don’t want to be woken by the watch so is there a way of turning off or unsyncing the alarms from iPhone to watch?

I have turned off ‘push alerts from iPhone’ but it is still happening.

Thanks

I think I’ve found a way

you guys can try and see if it works

1 Tap Change in your Alarm/Wakeup

2 Choose Edit sleep schedule in Health

3 Choose Options

4 Scroll to the bottom and select Manage Sleep in the apple watch

5 Scroll to the bottom to select Don’t use this watch for Sleep


see if this works

great!

It's about going to the watch app I the iPhone and turning off Bedtime for the watch. It stays on for the phone.


Let iPhone have a scheduled bedtime with wind down and wake up alarm for each day of the week, but not synched, specially the alarm (confusingly in my case) going off on the watch..



I will try this tonight but it should do that the OP and I look for.

Someone above explained how to do that, but I will explain in a direct reply.


If you don’t want the watch to play or be able to disable alarms;

1) go into the Apple Watch app.

2) go into Notifications.

3) go into Clock.

4) turn off “Push Alerts from iPhone”.


if you want alarms solely on the watch, set it on the watch.

If you want to return it to both watch and phone, do as above, and turn *on* “Push Alerts from iPhone”.

I started using an app called SleepWatch which is free and does much more than the Apple sleep tracking. I turned off sleep tracking in my watch for Apple but I use the sleep watch app so I can still track sleep. It gives you heart rate dip percentage, hours of restful/restless sleep, time when awake, and uses data from your fitness activity in the watch to determine how much your workout routine positively impacts your sleep. It’s a great app and there is a premium but I’ve used the free version for well over a year now and it has all the data I need. Hope this helps

Hi there Catstone6,


We see you're having some trouble with your alarms, and we'd like to look into this further.


Are your watchOS and iOS versions both updated fully? Do you have a wakeup alarm set for Bedtime? Use Bedtime to track your sleep on your iPhone


Lastly, do you notice this happening after restarting both devices?


Let us know what you find, and we'll go from there.


All the best.

And, btw Apple folks, simply shutting off sleep tracking on the phone does not shut off alarm sharing between the watch and phone.


literally the only way to do that is take off your watch and put it on the charger.


and this whimpy alarm is the worst since the iPhone was introduced.


why can’t we ever get what we want?


I see a new Fitbit in my future instead of a new iwatch
