Hello All...

It may be a bug, or the way I have set this up.

I have the set the following:

Do Not Disturb from 9pm to 8am
Wind Down to 30 minutes
Sleep Schedule to 9:15pm to 6:40am

Now I do understand that when you wear the Watch to bed, it now states the alarm will go off on the watch. What is not clear is if the iPhone will alert also.

So when the Alarm goes off at 6:40am, all I get is a really soft tap on the Watch. No sounds at all. It is so gentle, I have slept through it twice.

iOS13 would use alarm alerts on both the iPhone and Watch.

Am I missing something here...??

Thanks in Advance.

Mines started doing this. It used to play the alarm and do the Watch vibration but recently its started saying that the alarm will only go off on my watch. I’m a pretty heavy sleeper some mornings so this doesn’t work for me. I’ve been lying in bed dreaming about a wrist vibration I can’t turn off and all of a sudden it’s 9am and I’ve over slept.

I like the sleep tracker so having to take my watch off at night is annoying. It says at the bottom of the alarm that an alert will be sent to the Watch when wearing it but it’s not clear whether it’s intentional that it only does this.

Hoping it’s a bug and not intentionally designed like that.
