"Good Morning" on Apple watch

[eclipse01]

Is there something i'm missing to make this work in the morning? I thought it was just setting up a sleep schedule and it would start working.

I can get it to work on my AW5 but not on my wife's AW4.

It’s kinda automatic, mostly happen after watch detects that you have woke up. It can also display good afternoon and good evening. The detection itself is kinda random.

I've never seen anything of the like on my SE 🤔

How do you get it to work? Never knew it could do that and I wear my watch to sleep every night. Thanks

Exactly what is supposed to happen? I’ve never seen this on my watch.

After you turn off your sleep app alarm, the watch will show a screen that shows how much battery you have left, temperature, and how well you slept, if I remember correctly. I get the screen every morning.

have to set up bedtime, sleep, etc afaik in order to see some of this stuff. Pop open the health app to do this

ok thanks, that’s the problem, don’t have the sleep app enabled. I’ll try it tonight.

I will take a screen shot of the wake screen and post in the thread tomorrow morning for others to see.

I think sleep/bedtime settings will activate this. Always thought that's precisely what the Good Morning greeting was for.

Thanks all. I don’t use the sleep monitoring as I charge mine overnight, that would explain why I’ve not seen it.

You don’t have to as long as you set it up you will still get a good morning when you first put it on your wrist in the morning

My wife setup Sleep, and hated every moment of it. She works a hectic schedule and doesn't have a set sleep/wake time, and yet there was her AW telling her to wake up. I couldn't figure out how to kill the Sleep function, once enabled, but was able to stop the wake-up part of that function. I was going to experiment with it, but after her experience, yeah, no... It's a little too set in stone. Unforgiving...

Interesting, I’ve never seen it. Does it have any bearing on the bedtime settings?

that is the point of my post lol, I can get it to work on my watch, but can't seem to get it to work on my wifes AW series 4.

I believe you just have to go into the health app and set up your sleep schedules and activate it on your apple watch.

Just turn off notifications?

Those are the type of notifications you can’t turn off. Much like system update.

I’m using series 4 and sleep wake up screen works for me almost every single day.

Didn't work.

I had to dig deeper, and there is a way to turn the wake-up announcement. It's kind of intuitive, but you have to look for it. We turned off ALL notifications, and it still worked. I read so many articles and posts where people had to literally wipe their AW to reset the 'Sleep' function. In the last update, apparently, Apple made it easier to turn off some of the features. It's possible to turn it off, and keep the rest of the functionality. It should just be easier to tailor it to your life, rather than the life that the app thinks you should have, which sounds kind of hysterical...

 

[PinkyMacGodess]

I picked up, from the battle with my wife's AW, to never enable the app unless you have a highly ordinary life. So, if you do shift work, or like to vary your sleep/wake cycles, just don't enable that feature.

EDIT: I worked a job out of college that required me to be there, bushy tailed and bright eyed at 0700 every week day. Suit perfect, shoes passable. The weekends: I slept in. There was literally zero chance I was going to get up at 0500 on a weekend day. 'Why do they call it 'Oh'? Because 'OH MY GAWD THAT'S EARLY!'' (No, it wasn't the military)

If I was woken up at 0700 on a weekend, there had better be a hell of a good reason...

Oh I give up LOL I don’t understand it. I’ve already set up my bedtime and alarms but I don’t use the sleep monitoring function, and I have never seen the good morning screen on the watch.

Hope you get yours sorted.

Here is what the 'Good Morning" wake screen loos like.

I’d like an iron man one , this is the nearest I got , 😂

I want this but moving

I used to see this on my S4 Apple Watch however this past year, it has disappeared and cant' get it back.

I have my Sleep Schedule set to come on at 23:15 and it goes off again at 06:35 when I wake the next day. Do I also need to set the DND Focus for the same time ?

 

[Dino F]

I've just upgraded to a Series 7 watch - the good morning screen doesn't show on that nether.
