Apple Watch/iPhone Alarm

How do I set my bedtime/awake alarm to ring on my iPhone ONLY! I have not been able to wear my Apple watch to track my sleep, due to the fact that the alarm only vibrates on my wrist. This is not enough to wake me up. Last night I fell asleep with it on, and it did not wake me, even though my iPhone was sitting right beside. This made me late to work! 😩

How can I set an alarm on my Apple Watch only? Hello, id like to set a wake up alarm for sounds and haptics on Apple Watch but not iPhone, I keep phone outside bedroom when sleeping, but my alarm for waking up (sleep focus one) keeps going off on iPhone and it’s pretty loud, is there any way to disable the alarm on iPhone while keeping it on watch, with the sleep tracking on?

Alarm on both my Watch and Iphone Hello! For quite a while now I am using a sleeping schedule for my alarms in the morning on my Iphone. The alarm goes off with a noise that wakes me up. Now recently I bought an Apple Watch SE. I would like to wear my Watch at night as well but when I do this, my alarm only goes of on my Watch. It vibrates. This isn't always enough to wake me up, or i snooze to easy. Is there a way the alarm goes off both on my watch and phone? Or only on my phone while wearing the Watch will be fine as well.

Apple watch / iPhone alarms Hi, I normally put my iPhone on the other side of the room to help me get up in the mornings when the alarm goes off. Since getting an Apple Watch though the alarm goes off on the watch and not on the phone if I’m wearing the watch to bed. How do I get the alarm to go off on my phone despite wearing the watch to bed? (I like the sleep tracking facility you see.)

Watch app My Watch, Clock, Push alerts from iPhone, Turn it off.

That applies to normal alarms, Sleep bedtime alarms may not work the same way. Try it though.
