Individual AOD setting

[1CaesaR1]

All: I am relatively new to Apple watches so figured I will ask this question. I have three AWs paired to a single phone/user account. One of my three watches is mainly for sleep tracking so I want to turn the AOD off. However, when I do that, the AOD is turned off for the other two watches as well. So if I turn AOD off on my S5 Nike at night, in the morning when I change to the S6 SS or S5 SS, they have the AOD off as well. I then need to turn it on. This means I have to then turn it off for S5 Nike in the night. I thought these settings were saved individually for each watch. Is that not the case?

I have mine turn on and off with automations in the shortcuts app (on the phone).

you can toggle many settings on the watch with shortcuts - AOD, cinema mode, silent mode, water lock, and even change the watch face.

I use cinema mode, because that also turns of raise to wake, so you'll need to tap the display or roll the crown to turn it on. And I just have a pair of automations that turn it on/off at the appropriate time of day.


also handy if you like silent mode on at work, but not elsewhere, you can make location based automations to do that.

you can also change the watch face, so when you launch a certain app on your phone, the watch will change to the face that shows info for that app. Or you could just do a shortcut, and add a siri trigger.

Thanks - I think I will need to do something like this.

I just find it annoying to see that the AOD setting is shared across different watches especially considering that you are able to set most of the things differently (watch faces, app settings, etc). AOD should also be saved individually considering that some pre-series 5 and SE don't even have AOD option.
