Apple Watch timer does not sound

I’m using the Apple Watch SE and I’ve noticed recently that the timer doesn’t sound or vibrate when it’s done. This didn’t use to happen before. I’ve tried restarting the watch but doesn’t seem to help. Couldn’t find any menu on this. Any suggestions?

Hi Printhana,


We'll be glad to assist. If you're not receiving sounds or vibration, it may be possible that your watch is set to mute. If so, the steps in Change the audio and notification settings on your Apple Watch - Apple Support will help you to resolve this.


"How to mute your Apple Watch

  1. Touch and hold the bottom of the watch face. Wait for Control Center to show, then swipe up.
  2. Tap the Silent Mode button Silent Mode icon. This turns on Silent Mode. You can still receive haptic notifications.

To silence an alert or notification as it sounds, rest your palm on the display for at least three seconds or until you feel a tap. If it doesn't work, see if the Cover to Mute setting is on: On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, go to the My Watch tab, then tap Sounds & Haptics."


Cheers.
