Apple Watch timer has a mind of its own!

When I’m working on my Macbook Air (running Big Sur 12.5), something triggers the timer on my Apple Watch. I notice it when the timer ends and the watch vibrates. This happens repeatedly — but *only* when I’m on the computer. Any ideas why this is occurring/how I can stop it?

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 7

Hello bluepencil13,


After reviewing your post, it seems like while you are using the Mac at some point the timer on your Apple Watch will go off.

Do you have time limits set for websites on the Mac?

If you delete all custom timers does it still happen?

Have you seen how long the time was for?


Set time limits for apps and websites in Screen Time on Mac


Set a timer on Apple Watch
