how to get the wake up alarm to go off while in night stand mode?

I am charging all night my S6 LTE in nightstand-mode, next to my iphone 11pro max in my night table. I have set up a wake up alarm in the new "wake up" section in the watch, then the watch shows in nightstand mode the hour for the wake up alarm. The problem is that the alarm is going off on my phone, never on my watch!. How to make the wake up alarm sound to go off in the watch, instead of on my phone?. I have followed the guides but still is not possible to get a wake up alarm from my watch!.
