Good morning troops!

I have an alarm question/query

If I set an alarm on my iPhone, it also goes off on my AWU2. No problem. That's working as it should do. However, I have an alarm complication on one of my watch faces and it always says no alarms! Even if I set one on my iPhone to go off, say, in an hour or so, as above, it sounds on both iPhone and watch, but before the alarm goes off, my AWU2 will say no alarms!

I know my AWU is mirroring my iPhone alarm as it should, but, is the stand alone 'alarm' complication a separate app?

PS: Yes, the wife is still in bed.:) (night shift at the local hospital)

Thunk very much you.:eek:

the complication shows the alarms that are set in the alarm app on the watch. I use alarms on the watch only.

Yeah, I find this frustrating too. When I have my watch in Sleep focus, it tells me no alarm is set even though my alarm is set on my phone.

I think it's saying no alarm is set on the watch, which for me is true even though the watch helpfully mirrors the alarm when it happens. It's possible that the watch mirrors the alarm only when it goes off, that there's no advance coordination-- so the system doesn't want to tell you an alarm is set because it sees your phone now and then doesn't go off later because the phone is out of bluetooth range when the alarm happens.

I feel they could solve this by saying the alarm is set and indicate that it's set on the phone.
