Sleep schedule not in sync between Apple Watch and iPhone

Until about a week ago my sleep schedule synced between my apple watch 10 and iPhone 16 pro. Now, if I edit the sleep schedule on my phone (change the time or skip an alarm) it doesn’t sync/update on my watch. Instead, it creates 2 separate alarms and the watch still goes off at the original time regardless.

Sleep Focus issues between phone and Apple Watch I have a sleep schedule that is set up for my phone and watch. When my sleep focus is active, the lock screens on my watch and phone show two different alarms. I have the sleep alarm set and should sync between both my devices. The remaining alarms I set as backups are only on my phone. The issue is that my watch shows the correct alarm time on the Lock Screen, while my phone shows the first backup alarm that is set.

Apple watch sleep schedule alarm won’t get cleared on iPhone automatically So I set my sleep schedule alarm to sound on my apple watch. Every morning when the alarm sounded off(on the watch), I hit “stop” on the watch, then I got the “morning” screen on my watch. Only a few moments later I found the watch went back to Sleep Focus again. The issue is, when I cleared the sleep alarm on my watch, for some reason iPhone’s sleep alarm didn’t get cleared automatically, and the screen is stuck on the alarming screen. Only if I manually hit “stop” on iPhone, then the sleep focus will be dismissed. Not sure if this is intended or is my devices out of sync? I did tested regular alarms, whenever I set a regular alarm, and had it cleared on my watch, the alarm got cleared on iPhone automatically as well. My devices are iPhone 15 PM on iOS 17.0.3& Apple Watch Ultra 2 on watchOS 10.0.2

Sync Sleep alarms on two watches I have two Apple watches (4 and 8) both connected to my iPhone 14 pro. The Watch app is set to automatically switch between the two based on which I’m wearing. Each morning alarm goes off on both (one on charge one on wrist) and has to be turned off separately on each. Is there a way to sync the alarms/watches so when one is snoozed or turned off the other does the same? Alternatively is there a way to have the alarm automatically disabled on the watch when it is charging? Thanks jp

Did you already try to force restart your iPhone and Apple Watch after the latest watchOS 11.3 and iOS 18.3 updates?

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

To force restart your watch, press and hold the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
