Apple watch phone alarm not showing

[russell_314]

When the alarm goes off on my iPhone my S6 AW vibrates but doesn't pop up with the thing to dismiss the alarm till I tap the screen. Is this a feature of the always on display only showing the time or is it somehow lagging? I have Wake on Wrist Raise turned off so maybe this is why? I have this off since it has the AOD no need to use extra battery.

Sounds like it is functioning as it should with the wrist raise turned off. I have a Series 6 as well and leave AoD and wrist raise on and always have more than enough battery to make it through the day.

Okay I was just wondering if that was a bug or working as intended. I didn't see any purpose to have wrist raise turned on with the AOD. With my S4 I needed it to see the time. I guess if that changes the screen so I can turn off the alarm but I don't have that many alarms set. My battery lasts all day as well but sometimes I forget to charge it so I figure longer is better.

If you don’t use the new Apple Sleep app, consider using the AutoSleep app charge reminder option. It works well and will send you an alert message on your watch at the time you specify, to remind you to charge your watch before bed. You could also set a daily reminder to charge your watch.

The problem is my schedule is so messed up. I have a regular job but a second job that isn't on a regular schedule. That kills my sleep and do anything else schedule but I like the extra $$$ and it's a job I like doing. I use an app called Pillow since it automatically records my sleep. I wanted to use the Apple one but you have to schedule your sleep. For most people that would be ideal but not me.
