So, you’re tryin’ to figure out how to turn off that alarm on your Apple Watch but not on your phone, huh? Well, it ain’t as hard as folks might make it sound. You know, these newfangled gadgets can be a bit tricky, but if you follow the right steps, you’ll have it sorted in no time, just like when you turn off an old wind-up clock in the kitchen. Let me tell you how to do it, nice and simple, just like I would do it in my own way.
First thing’s first, ya gotta make sure you know where to go on both your phone and your watch. I reckon the easiest way to do this is through the Watch app on your iPhone. You open that Watch app, and you’ll see a tab that says “My Watch.” Now, you tap on that, and after that, you scroll down a bit till you see something called “Clock.” Don’t worry, we’re getting there.
Now, under the “Clock” section, there’s an option that says “Push Alerts from iPhone.” If you’re havin’ trouble with your alarm goin’ off on both your watch and your phone, this is the place to fix it. All you gotta do is turn off the Push Alerts. That’ll stop your phone from sending its alarms to the watch. So, when the alarm goes off, only the watch will ring, and the phone won’t beep, buzz, or ring like a rooster in the morning. Nice and quiet, just the way you might want it.
But hold on a minute, you might be wonderin’ why the alarm goes off on both devices sometimes, and that’s because if your Apple Watch is locked, it’ll make the alarm go off on both the phone and the watch. That’s right, it’s like they’re both talkin’ at you, and if you’re still half asleep, you might think you’re stuck in a thunderstorm with all that noise. So, if you want it to just go off on the watch when it’s locked, well, you can’t do much about that. But when the watch is unlocked, only the watch will sound off. It’s a bit like controlling a rooster’s crow from afar.
If you set the alarm directly on your watch, and your phone ain’t involved, then only the watch will make a sound. I found that setting the alarm on the phone and not the watch works best. It’s like putting a note on the door: if the alarm’s on your watch, that’s where it’s gonna happen, no messin’ about.
Now, another little thing I gotta mention is that if you got the “Bedtime” feature set up, your watch will still ring and the phone won’t. This could be a problem if you’re like me and leave your watch charging across the room. I tell ya, the sound on that little thing is so quiet sometimes, you might miss it if you’re not right beside it. But at least you won’t get woken up by both gadgets ringing at once, like a pair of old bells in a church.
If you’re lookin’ to turn off the alarm entirely, you can do that too. On your watch or phone, just tap the alarm and hit the switch. If you ever want to turn it back on, just go back to the same place and flip the switch again. It’s just like turnin’ the lights on and off; real simple. And if you decide you don’t need that alarm anymore, you can delete it right out of the list altogether.
Sometimes folks might complain about the alarm not going off at all on either device, but don’t worry too much. The good old Apple Watch usually works just fine if you got everything set right. And if you need a quick way to silence it in the morning, just cover the watch face with your hand. That’s a quick way to make it hush up before you’re fully awake.
Lastly, don’t forget about “Do Not Disturb.” If you turn that on, your alarms might not make a sound. So, make sure that’s off if you want the alarm to ring, and not just vibrate. It’s like closing the door to keep the noise outside, but sometimes you need that door open for a good old alarm to wake you up.
There you go, all set! Follow these easy steps, and you’ll have your Apple Watch alarm working just how you want it—quiet on the phone, loud on the watch. Simple as pie, right? Now go on and get some sleep, and let that Apple Watch do its job without botherin’ ya too much. And if anything goes wrong, well, just come back to these steps and you’ll be good as new.
