Alarms on iPhone not syncing to Apple Watch

Hi, I have recently bought an Apple Watch Series 8 to use with my iPhone SE 3 gen. Everything syncs and works ok except for the Alarms which are not showing on the watch. I have tried restarting both devices and adding new alarms to my iPhone but nothing works. Does anyone else have any suggestions how I may resolve the issue? The os versions are iPhone iOS 18.1.1 and watchOS 11.1 (22R585).


Thanks

Mike

Hello M88AYN,


Alarms do not synch from the iPhone to the Apple Watch. The 2 devices are independent when it comes to alarms.


You could set your iPhone to push its alarms to the Apple Watch, though. On the iPhone. in the Watch app, go to the Clock and make sure Push Alerts from iPhone is turned on.


Otherwise you would have to duplicate manually your alarms on the Apple Watch.
