Clock alarms not sounding on Apple SE watch

I get visual notifications that clock alarms are sounding on my Apple SE, but no sound or vibration. How can I activate alarm clock sound/vibration on the watch? Thanks!

Hello Graybuff,


You'd need to ensure that the paired iPhone is set up to alert you with the Apple Watch: Add an alarm on Apple Watch


Tip: To create an alarm that taps your wrist, but doesn’t make a sound, turn on silent mode.


Make sure the Apple Watch is not set to silent mode. If it is, then it will tap you but not play the sound associated with the alarm on the Apple Watch. You can use Control Center and tap on sound to disable silent mode. Learn more here: Use Control Center on Apple Watch


If the Apple Watch is set up to correctly alert you and silent mode isn't enabled, then it may be best to contact Apple Support directly: Get Support


They'd need to take it from here.


Take care.
