Apple Watch lights up from the smallest vibration while charging

Hello, boys and girls.


For example, right now my watch (series 6) is charging and they are lying on the sofa. My macbook is also charging and it is also on the sofa. My watch lights up constantly just from me typing on the keyboard. And I'm not a heavy hitter :)

It is so bad that I think that the bar to light up the watch should be at least 10 times higher. Or even better - I should tap watch itself directly to trigger that effect.

Is there anything I could do to stop this very irritating behaviour?


I use official 15cm lightning charger btw and more than potent wall charger.

Hello skauruss,


In order to not have the Apple Watch light up due to movement while charging, you may disable Nightstand Mode. This will be on the Apple Watch at Settings > General > Nightstand Mode.


This page will help to provide a bit of info on the feature: Add an alarm on Apple Watch - Apple Support


When you connect your Apple Watch to its charger with nightstand mode turned on, it displays charging status, the current time and date, and the time of any alarm you’ve set. To see the time, tap the display or lightly nudge your Apple Watch. Even nudging or tapping the table might work.


Cheers.
