Hello Blueswillneverdie,


We'd like to provide you with the directions to enable Nightstand Mode, on your Apple Watch:


"Set up Apple Watch as a nightstand clock with alarm

  1. Open the Settings app  on your Apple Watch.
  2. Go to General > Nightstand Mode, then turn on Nightstand Mode.

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.

An Apple Watch placed on its side and connected to the charger, with the screen showing the charging symbol in the top-right corner, the current time below that, and the time of the next alarm.

If you set an alarm using the Alarms app, your Apple Watch in nightstand mode will gently wake you with a unique alarm sound.

When the alarm sounds, press the side button to turn it off, or press the Digital Crown to snooze for another 9 minutes.

An Apple Watch placed on its side, with the screen showing an alarm that’s gone off. Below the Digital Crown is the word “Snooze.” The word “Stop" is below the side button."

Best wishes.
