iPhone Alarm Sound Not Working When I Wear my Watch

I sleep with my Apple Watch on and my iPhone alarm does not make a sound when it goes off. The phone and the watch both vibrate, but no sound. If my watch is on the charger, it works.

My alarm clock displayed, but did not ring, on my new Iphone15. I found out alarm had been set with the Health app, on my new AppleWatch. I had never used Heath on any device. I cancelled the alarm in the Health app, set the alarm on my Iphone (through “CLOCK”) and now it rings, on just my Iphone15, which is what I want

I spent about an hour on the phone with an Apple rep who could not figure out how to get the alarm to ring on my Iphone.

Not accurate.

all alarms from the first iphone to now are ‘breakthrough alarms’, meaning: the alarm app is the only app with the ability to set an alarm, which completely ignores the silent mode switch on the side of your iPhone. That switch is now and has always been irrelevant to this discussion. If Apple designed the Apple Watch in such a way that engaging the silent mode on your watch, secretly overrides and silences and nullifies the alarms that you have set on a completely separate device… end it did not provide a huge red banner, warning on the screens of the devices…

My first apple watch stopped notifying me and in standard apple fashion I was forced to spend a few hundred to upgrade the watch. So, I did and I'm getting the same thing. I am done with apple watch and I'm done with the iPhone once I can upgrade. I'm so over the iProprietorship and iExpense and constant iUpgrades. I want my calls and text and notifications to ring and ding on my phone not just vibrate on my wrist and me not feel it 98% of the time.

Are you saying the expected behavior is if I’m wearing my my watch to bed my morning alarms won’t sound? Because that’s what’s happening to me. If I don’t wear the watch, the phone’s alarms sound. Sleep is a bit different from the other focus types and when you use the health/sleep app to set a wake up time with an alarm, it should disable sleep at that time it sounds the alarm. Sleep turns off, but with no audible alarm.
