How To Set Alarm On Apple Watch? Top Full Guide 2023

Apple Watch is a great device for keeping track of your daily schedule. One of the features that can help you stay on top of your day is the alarm feature.

In this article, HereOfamily will show you how to set alarm on Apple Watch.  This process can be placed in the Clock app. You can have multiple alarms, and each alarm can be set to a different time.

How To Use Siri To Set An Alarm On An Apple Watch

While the specialized Alarms app provides additional options, Siri can complete the task in a matter of seconds. When you merely want to set an alarm for a couple of hours, Siri is the way to go.

To activate Siri, press and hold the Digital Crown button (On Series 3 and higher, simply bring your smartwatch near your mouth and start speaking.)

Say something like “Set an alarm at 6 a.m.” when Siri is ready. The action will be confirmed by Siri. If your device is not in Silent mode, it will vibrate and make a sound at the specified time.

Tap the “Stop” button to turn off it. Snooze it for nine minutes by tapping the “Snooze” button.

How To Use The Alarms App On Apple Watch To Set An Alarm

You can add, monitor, and delete alarms using the Apple Watch’s Alarms app. To begin, press the Digital Crown on your watch face. Open the “Alarms” app from the applications panel (in either the list or grid mode).

The app’s home screen will display all of the alarms that are available (just like on the iPhone). Scroll to the bottom of the list and hit the “Add Alarm” button to create a new one.

You’ll now be able to set the time using a unique interface. The hour setting will be the first to be highlighted. To scroll and alter the hour time, use the Digital Crown. Then tap the Minutes box and set the time with the Digital Crown once more.

If you’re utilizing 12-hour time, select either “AM” or “PM.” When you’re finished, press the “Set” button. Your Alarms app will be updated with the new one.

You can stop the lock by tapping the “Stop” button, or you can delay it by tapping the “Snooze” button (by nine minutes).

When you need to check all of your available alarms or reenable an alarm, the Alarms app comes in useful (You can do this with Siri as well).

You’ll get a list of all the alarms when you launch the Alarm app. Here, you may tap the toggle switch beside each one to enable or disable an alert. To see more possibilities, tap an alarm.

FAQs

Are Apple Watch alarms synchronized with iPhone alarms?

What is the procedure for setting the watch alarm to vibrate only?

Go to My Watch > Sounds & Haptics in the Watch app on your iPhone. Make sure the slider for Haptic Strength is set to the middle or far right.

Is it possible to set the alarm on my Apple Watch without using my phone?

Go to the Home screen (through a single press on the Digital Crown) and tap on the Alarm Clock app icon to set the alarms on your watch. If you use the Alarm Clock app on your watch to set it, it will work even if your iPhone is not connected (including when it is out of range or turned off).
