My watch alarms are not working at all. I tried to use the nightstand feature, and the watch would light up at the time the alarm was set for, and indicate the alarm had been triggered. However, there was no sound or haptic alert. Tried this several times, with a reset, and no change in behavior. Checked mute/sound etc. and tried several configurations: haptic 0, 1, 2, sound mute on/off etc. No change in behavior. Pretty consistent when it's in nightstand mode: watch would light up, ask if you wanted to snooze or not, but no sound or vibration. It's worse outside of nightstand: when the alarm should go off, nothing happens at all. I'll go back into the alarm app, and the triggered alarm is now set to off. This happens repeatedly and consistently. WatchOS 2 beta 3
Watch Alarms not working at all
Yeah, same here.
However, if you set an alarm at your iPhone, then your watch will work OK (with sound and tactile vibration).
Only if you set it directly at the watch nothing happens when the alarm should trigger.
Just updated to watchOS 2 beta 4, and alarms are working again.
Just updated to watchOS 2 beta 4 also, and the alarms seem to be working better. However one problem seems to remain, if you:
1) set the alarm on your watch,
2) have mute on,
3) have the watch on the charger, and
4) have it in nightstand mode,
then the alarm will activate (screen lights up), but there is no sound.
This is counter to what it says under the mute button under settings: "Mute will not silence alarms and timers when Apple Watch is charging"
