Apple Watch timer - end time

Hi. My Apple Watch isn’t showing the end time of a timer I set.


The time the timer ends is displayed below the timer on the iPhone but not on the watch.


how can I switch this on on the watch or get it to display?

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 9

That is absolutely correct. And there's nothing you can do to change it. Like LD150, I don't understand why this is important information to you. Perhaps if you explain why you need the information, someone can offer some additional suggestions.

I regularly set timers for 7/8/9 hours + and on the phone the clock time the timer will end is good to meet deadlines.

Note: You responded while I was writing the previous post. Aplogies.


It sounds as if you might be better off setting alarms. Or perhaps using both. Generally, timers tell you home much time you have left before time runs out. I've never seen a kitchen timer, a lab timer, a timer on a microwave, that tells you what time it will be when the timer runs out. The phone is an outlier.


As noted above, submit feedback to Apple.

I miss the same feature on the watch. I often set timers for time boxing, and it would be awesome if I could directly see the final time (as on the iPhone) instead of having to do the maths.

You should let Apple know this:
