See the time on your nightstand

Apple Watch becomes a convenient bedside alarm clock while it’s charging.

Apple Watch displays the time and next alarm when you attach the charger and set Apple Watch on its side with the Digital Crown and side button up.

Set up as a nightstand clock. Connect Apple Watch to its charger, then set Apple Watch on its side, buttons facing up.

Check the time by your bedside. To see the time, tap the display or lightly nudge Apple Watch. Even nudging or tapping the table might work—try it.

Use Apple Watch as an alarm clock. If you set an alarm using the Alarm Clock app , Apple Watch in nightstand mode will gently wake you.

In nightstand mode, press the Digital Crown to snooze the alarm or press the side button to turn the alarm off.

When the alarm sounds, press the side button to turn it off, or press the Digital Crown to snooze for another 9 minutes.
