Bedtime alarm on Apple Watch only

[proalorrs]

Hey there,

I decided after a year of abstinence, to go with the Apple Watch. I have set up the bedtime function on my iPhone - without using an alarm yet.

Now I want to use the bedtime function on my watch as well. both devices (iPhone and watch) should go to sleep mode at 11 pm until planned 7am. I want the watch to wake me up with vibration and I don't want the iPhone to ring. Furthermore I have activated the flight mode at night.

Unfortunately I cannot manage to switch the iPhone bedtime alarm off and only use it on my watch so my workaround is to use a normal alarm.

Is there any trick to use the bedtime alarm on my watch without the iPhone ringing?

Thanks

If you have sleep mode on, and you wear the watch it will vibrate and ring and the phone is quiet.

I thought it was ridiculous to sleep with a watch on, but I love this wake alarm😊

edit : don’t use flight mode on the watch, don’t use theater mode. Just make sure the sleep mode (bed icon) is on when you go to bed. And you have an alarm set.

Thx! After I woke up with the watch on my wrist, I fel in love with the alarm, and use it everyday now with AutoSleep.

I meant the whole idea of sleeping with a watch on, was something I didn’t understood when I bought my first Apple watch in October.

But now I am all in with tracking my
Sleep, and waking up really really chill with the gentle vibration ❤️

but you are not in flight mode - aren't you?

No, why should I? If you have bedtime mode, he will silent incoming calls and everything else.

Because of the dangerous ray. Do you sleep with a aluminum hat?
And the battery drain is less with flight mode on

I guess that’s the point. Without the connection to the iPhone the iPhone don’t know That the Watch wakes me up and try to do it itself …

thought there maybe is an option to tell the watch only to alarm

Dangerous ray?? Battery drain? With auto sleep and in bed time mode I lose 9-10% battery in a night.
I have other things to worry about in life, than a few percentage of battery drain at night.

The solution is right there : use bedtime mode and not flight mode. And the watch will wake you up.

I use a Bluetooth headphones for years, I use mobile phones for years. At home in an apartment building i have 20++ WiFi signals around me.
putting a watch in flight mode because of the dangerous rays , will be a microscopic bandaid on a wound as big as planet earth.
