How to create and manage alarms on Apple Watch

Create alarms on your Apple Watch so you don't miss (or sleep through) anything important.

Just like on your iPhone, you can set alarms on your Apple Watch in case you need any alerts to keep you from missing anything important. You can also use the alarm apps on both your watch and your iPhone in conjunction, as iPhone alarms that sound while you're wearing your Apple Watch will come through the watch as well, though silencing the alarm on one device will silence it on the other.

But if you don't set alarms on your iPhone, and only want to use your Apple Watch, it's very easy to do. Here's what you need to know about creating and managing alarms on your Apple Watch.
