I want to track deep sleep with my Apple Watch SE. I understand I am to setup track sleep with apple watch in my iphone watch app. When I open the app, I do not see a sleep setting. It is there in my Health app. The data source is set to my phone, but I do not see a way to change it to the apple watch.
What am I doing wrong?
Wow! It must have got deleted!
From your watch, try to open this link:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sleep/id1505627600
You might need to copy and paste it into a text message to yourself and then open that message from your watch. I don't know, or maybe from inside your emails where these replies are going to.
Maybe you can ask Siri from your watch.
If you can't open the link, go into the app store from your watch and type in Apple Sleep. I just looked it up this way and I had to scroll and scroll to get to it. Just make sure that you find the one by Apple.
When you find it, does it say "Get" or "Open"?
If it says "Get", it's currently not installed on your watch. Pretty weird but it must have got removed somehow.

Two more pictures...
***Note: In this forum Sometimes you have to tap "less" and then "more" a couple times in order to see all of the pictures and the whole reply.***
The first one is from inside the Watch app on my phone. This photo is in comparison to the one that you posted the other day. It's the same view and you can see that the Sleep app is there.
The second photo is a screenshot from my watch showing the app list (It's a setting (I prefer the list view vs all of the tiny icons in a big bunch)).
I did some research and found out that which SE generation doesn't matter because it seems like it's available on both (possibly starting with the Series 4 watch).
When I go into the app store on my watch and then find the Sleep app, mine says "Open" which means that it's already installed on the watch.
I clicked on "Sleep". Under "Full Schedule and Options" I had not enabled "Tracked Time in Bed with iPhone" because I thought I was looking for a watch option.
Right!! I'd have probably did the exact same thing!
I'm glad that they got it figured out with you!
Question! On your phone, can you see the "Sleep" app on those lists now (like the two screenshots that I posted)?
Yes, it is there now. The support guy explained why, but it went over my head. Something about the app really being on the phone, not the Watch (maybe). I was just glad it is figured out. I got Sleep data in the Health app this morning. YAY!!!!!!
Nice! Good thing you made the call!
Thank you for getting back to me on whether the app was showing up in the lists now! Knowing this, I now can help others more efficiently when they don't see the app in their lists.
Thank you, thank you!
I assume that you've already setup Sleep in the Health app on your iPhone so...
Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
Scroll down the My Watch page until you get to "Sleep" and then click on it. The icon for Sleep is turquoise (see attached picture).
Is the toggle green for "Track Sleep with Apple Watch"?
Thanks for responding. I still do not see the screen you posted on my watch I have attached a picture of my apps. I see others have asked this question and all posts are closed, though I don't see the answer. My Watch is at v 9.2, and iPhone 11 is 16.2
The app is on the Watch, I just can't change the tracking from the iPhone. When I go to the app store on the watch app on the iPhone, the app store says it must be downloaded from the Watch.
When I open the Sleep App from watch's app store I see the message "Enabled on this Watch. The watch will not get Sleep Tracking or wake -up alarms." At the bottom, it says "Open Settings". If I go to settings, Sleep is not there. I am wondering if sleep tracking is not available on the SE?
I ended up with Apple Support and I found out the problem. (I contacted them because I didn't know how to figure out if I was 1st or 2nd generation.
Anyway, the figured out the problem and hopefully, it will work from now on.
In my health app on the phone, under "browse", I clicked on "Sleep". Under "Full Schedule and Options" I had not enabled "Tracked Time in Bed with iPhone" because I thought I was looking for a watch option. Once I enabled that I was able to click on "Manage sleep in apple watch app"....which then indicated that the "Track Sleep with Apple Watch" was enabled.
Wow, hope it works. Thanks for your help.
I had the same problem with ultra. It is weird that one doesn‘t find Sleep App from Apple with a search in the Apple Store in the watch. The message trick worked spectacularly though!
Which generation of SE do you have?
It's probably not available on the 1st generation, but it is for the 2nd Gen (2022).
I don't Have an Iphone, But only an apple watch
Johnnymm,
You say that you have a watch but not an iPhone...
So basically you have a high class Casio watch?
Was this watch new or did you buy it used from somebody?
I don't see sleep app in apple watch
