Introduction

Apple Watch is not just a stylish accessory but also a handy device that offers a range of features, including alarms. Setting an alarm on your Apple Watch can be a convenient way to wake up or remind yourself of important tasks. In this article, we will guide you through the process of setting an alarm on your Apple Watch only, without the need to use your iPhone.

Step 1: Open the Alarm App

To begin, tap on the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch to access the home screen. Look for the Alarm app, which is represented by a clock icon. Tap on it to open the app.

Step 2: Create a New Alarm

Once you have the Alarm app open, you will see a list of your existing alarms. To create a new alarm, tap on the “+” icon usually located at the top-right corner of the screen.

Step 3: Set the Time

After tapping on the “+” icon, you will be presented with a screen where you can set the time for your alarm. Use the rotating dial on your Apple Watch to adjust the hour and minute hands. Once you have set the desired time, tap on the “Set” button.

Step 4: Choose the Days

Next, you have the option to select which days of the week you want the alarm to repeat. Tap on the “Repeat” option and choose the desired days by tapping on them. If you want the alarm to go off only once, you can skip this step.

Step 5: Set the Alarm Sound

Now it’s time to select the sound for your alarm. Tap on the “Sound” option, and you will be presented with a list of available alarm sounds. Scroll through the options and tap on the one you prefer.

Step 6: Adjust Additional Settings

If you want to further customize your alarm, tap on the “Options” button. Here, you can adjust settings such as snooze, volume, and whether or not the alarm should vibrate. Make any desired changes and tap on the “Back” button when you’re done.

Step 7: Save the Alarm

After setting the time, days, sound, and additional settings, tap on the “Save” button located at the top-right corner of the screen. Your alarm is now saved and ready to go off at the set time.

Step 8: Enable the Alarm

To activate the alarm, make sure the toggle switch next to the alarm you created is turned on. You can do this by swiping the switch to the right. When the switch turns green, it means the alarm is enabled.

Step 9: Disable Other Devices

By default, your Apple Watch alarm will also ring on your paired iPhone. If you want the alarm to go off only on your Apple Watch, you need to disable the alarm on your iPhone. Open the Clock app on your iPhone, go to the Alarm tab, and turn off the alarm that corresponds to the one you set on your Apple Watch.

Step 10: Enjoy Your Apple Watch Alarm

Now that you have successfully set an alarm on your Apple Watch only, you can sleep peacefully knowing that your watch will wake you up at the desired time. Enjoy the convenience and functionality that your Apple Watch offers!
