I have recently bought my first Apple Watch and I have been excited for months to get it so that I could use many of its awesome features, amongst others the Sleep Tracking. However, a big downside of wearing my watch when sleeping is that the alarm only goes off on my wrist, whereas I'd rather have my phone going off in the cabinet in front of the bed - which is a proven trick for people that have difficulty waking up early to do so, because, well, you're already out of bed. With the watch it is easy to push snooze, so I really ask you guys to just build a toggle that enables users to switch between alarm on watch or on iPhone! Thank you so much

You can set up a standard alarm on the iPhone and set up sleep schedule on Watch without the wake up alarm.



You can disable the push of the iPhone alarm Push Alerts to the Watch if you want in iPhone, Watch app, My Watch tab, Clock


It is only a workaround but one that I use as the sleep schedule doesn't keep bugging me if I get up to the bathroom too near to wake up time.
