I don’t sleep with my watch on, one day I did, and the watch caused me to miss my alarm because it does the vibration on the wrist but it wasn’t enough for me to wake up.

I’ve been using my iPhone alarm for 10 years and it’s never failed me…..until that one time I kept my watch on…..i didnt like it that it tried to wake me up gently.

My alarm on iPhone uses: Bright-Eyed sound

I'm surprised, for me the vibration on my wrist never fails at waking me up (to be fair in my sleep I push the snooze button -- and I have a backup alarm in case I push the stop button too)

It’s too low, I’ve never missed waking up with my iPhone alarm all my years, it goes from low to loud and I love that part, I’ll hear it somewhere along the way once it starts.

I’ll have to test the watch on my days off lol, I work on call hours where I get to know the day before and it’s too risky to not wake up on my sudden 3am cover shift lol….

For me the watch vibration is intense enough that it's basically impossible for me to ignore unless I'm literally knocked out/passed out/not getting enough oxygen to my brain. The alarm one can be distracting outright (so I don't use it during the day unless absolutely necessary).

Maybe I'm just explicitly sensitive to the vibration or something. Idk.

That’s a good question however it doesn’t matter if im wearing it or not. Is there a way to turn off the Apple Watch alarm altogether?
