Timer set on iPhone not sounding on watch since updates

[Julien]

This thread has me quite confused. I'm running 3.2.2 on my AW, but when I set the timer on my iPhone and it ends, I do not get a signal on the AW? Am I supposed to? If so, is there anything I have to do in settings on either the phone or the watch to assure that this happens?

If you set a timer on your iPhone and it is locked it should alarm on both your iPhone and Watch (provided it's not muted) and you should have the following popup screen on your Watch. You do need to have Push Alerts from iPhone selected in the Watch app.

Thanks for the plausible excuse but I started on my post about 3 hours ago.

Thanks very much. It seems to be quite complicated. I have the Push Alerts from iPhone on, but having tried all the suggestions about the timer and auto-lock that you suggested, there is still no signal from the watch. It doesn't work on my wife's Edition AW either, but actually neither one of us really needs this feature.

Try using Siri to set an timer for 2 minutes and see if you have any better luck with that. But it really should not be very complicated. As long as the phone is locked, it should appear as documented by Julien above.

What? Wait! Do you mean THE Edition???

There are 2 versions of "THE Edition" so you can drop the THE. It is probably a Series 2 Edition which is not that big of a deal.

That's not THE Edition.
There's only one Edition that rules them all.
