How to stop alarm from going off on both watches?

I have two Apple Watches. The alarm goes of on both. Is there a way to make only one Apple Watch detect its being used and trigger the alarm only in that one, instead of both?


If not, could Apple do something to fix it?

Hi clorofilazul,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Perhaps turning off Push Alerts for Clock would help. You would need to do this each time you switch Apple Watches though if you want to change up which one receives alarms. Guidance below is from Add an alarm on Apple Watch - Apple Support. For step 3, you'd turn off for one Apple Watch and on for the other.


"See the same alarms on both iPhone and Apple Watch

  1. Set the alarm on your iPhone.
  2. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
  3. Tap My Watch, tap Clock, then turn on Push Alerts from iPhone."


If you switch watches frequently this might not be preferable. As for whether Apple can fix this, it is something you could suggest. You can send this and any other suggestions in for individual review from Product Feedback - Apple.


Best wishes.

Thank you for your answer. I already turned off Push Alerts on one of the watches. But that's not the solution I'm looking for. I'll use it like this, but I indeed switch watches frequently.

I sent a suggestion, but I don't think they care that much about our suggestions, except if there are too many to count.


I also sent another suggestion (which might not interest you for obvious reasons, but I just want to share), asking for Portuguese language in Native Portuguese, since they only have Siri in Brazilian Portuguese.


Once again: thank you for your kind reply.
