Apple Watch downtime
Do any of you know how to turn off Apple Watch downtime as I am getting really annoyed with it when I go to the gym in the morning but I have downtime on my watch.
Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 7

since watchOS 7, even if you have share across devices enabled, your Apple Watch will still synchronize screen time settings with your iPhone. This happens to me, if I go into the screen time settings and tap the all devices button, the only devices I see on that list are my iPhone, my iPad, and my MacBook. at least for me, screen time settings synchronize when both iPhone and Apple Watch are connected to Bluetooth.
my suggestion would be to check your screen time settings, and completely turn off downtime. to do this, open up the Settings app, tap screen time, tap downtime and slide the downtime switch to off. This should turn off downtime on both your phone and watch. If it doesn’t turn downtime off on your watch, first try restarting just the watch itself. Once it restarts, it should sync again with your phone and turn off downtime. If that doesn’t work, try turning off both watch and phone, keeping them off for at least 2 to 3 minutes, turn the watch on first because the watch can take a bit longer to load than the phone, then after about 10 seconds turn the phone back on.
Hopefully that works. If it still doesn’t work, you could try watch app, general, reset, reset synced data. If that still doesn’t work, you may need to unpair your Apple Watch, and then pair it again.
Hope this helps.
