Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My household has 2 iPhones and 2 Apple Watches on the same Apple ID. When using the Apple Watch to contact one another (taps, drawings, heartbeat), the alert is duplicated on both Apple Watches. Is there a fix to this?
iMessage has a setting that allows each device to select from which phone number (or email) alerts are received. I see no setting like this on the Apple Watch for watch-based communication...
Watch Sport 42mm, iOS 8.3

Then be sure to submit feedback.
Thanks. I have submitted feedback however am still perplexed by the oversight.
Has anyone (I'm talking to you Apple) come up with a fix for this?
Wife and I (the whole family actually) all operate on the same Apple ID/iCloud account.
The communication between Apple Watches is quite buggy. Particularly the heartbeat feature which is why she wanted me to get the darned thing to begin with.

1) Apple is not reading here and 2) the fix is to use the Apple IDs as intended, one per person.
This is a perfect and easy solution! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Go into the phone settings under iMessage, and under the "send and receive" you can unselect the email ID you share, or unselect everything but your numbers and it should fix the problem.

So this works even if both watches are signed into the same Apple ID?
I have the same problem . Me and my wife use the same Apple ID and both of us have watches .. Is there a solution
your workaround has worked perfect for messaging, thank you.
Do you share each other's activity?
we are still missing that part
