How do i turn alarm notifications off on watch so they ONLY go off on phone?

I have turned off push notifications for my apple watch 6, i have tried to restart both watch and phone. Nothing works. Is this a bug and if so, when will it be fixed? Seems this issue goes back to the series 3 and other than then the above steps, the internet offers no other advise.

if I am not mistaken you just want to stop alarms and timers set on iPhone to stop going off on the watch. if this is correct please open the watch app on your iPhone, then go down to clock and inside there turn off the option to push alerts from iPhone. Hope this solves your issue and screenshots attached below :)

Okay I thought that may be the case here then and I understand how that can be annoying.

So as far as I’m not aware you can’t turn the alarm off on the watch if it’s enabled on the iPhone and you are wearing the watch to bed and have sleep enabled. So I think only option here is to stop the alarm and keep sleep tracking or you can disable the watch for sleep and this will stop alarm and tracking as far as I’m aware and then possibly you could use an app like AutoSleep from the App Store.

that’s annoying that you can’t just stop the alarm on the watch :(

Maybe open sleep on the watch and turn off the alarm Just for the next day or the full schedule but not sure if this stops the alarm on the iPhone, worth a try.

So the timer push notifications are indeed turned off and dont get through to my watch. However, my morning alarm i have set through the basic health app sends my morning alarm to the watch. I wear the watch to bed for sleep tracking but the haptics are too jarring and upsetting to wake up to. I’d really much rather have the alarm on my phone, that way i have the nice ringtones that slowly wake me up.
