Alarms on your HUAWEI watch/band

You can set alarms using either your wearable device or the Huawei Health app on your phone. When the set time arrives, your device will vibrate to alert you. Some watches will also ring for added convenience.

Setting an alarm using your wearable device

  1. Enter the app list on your wearable device, select Alarm, and tap to add an alarm.
  2. Set the alarm time and repeat cycle, and tap OK. If no repeat cycle is set, the alarm will go off only once.
  3. Tap an existing alarm to modify the alarm time and repeat cycle, or to delete the alarm.

Set an alarm using Huawei Health

  1. Open Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, and tap Alarm.
  2. Tap Add and set the alarm time, alarm name, and repeat cycle.
  3. If you're using Android or EMUI, tap in the upper right corner. If you're using iOS, tap Save.
  4. Tap an existing alarm to modify the alarm time, name, and repeat cycle. You can also delete the alarm.
  5. When all the settings are done, the alarms set in Huawei Health will automatically sync to your wearable. You can also swipe down on the Huawei Health home screen and manually sync data to your device.
 
  • For wearable devices that support wrist-based input methods, such as the HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series, you can change an alarm name on the wearable. This name will display on the device screen when the alarm goes off.
  • When your wearable is connected to a HUAWEI phone running EMUI 12.0 or later, you'll be notified via your wearable as well when a phone alarm goes off. You can then stop or snooze the alarm on either your wearable or phone. (You won't be able to view phone alarms, i.e. those added using the Clock phone app, on your wearable.)
  • When an alarm vibrates, you can tap , swipe right on the wearable screen, or press the side button, to snooze the alarm (for 10 minutes). Tapping will stop the alarm. An alarm will automatically snooze itself if no operations are performed within one minute, and will come to a complete stop after three auto snoozes.
  • Alarms won't go off on your wearable device if it's powered off.
  • Different devices may support different quantity of alarms. For details, open Huawei Health, navigate to the device details screen, tap Alarm, and check the number of alarms that can be set.

Setting the alarm ringtone/vibration

 
  • Bands will only vibrate for an alarm. Even when Vibration is set to Off, the device still vibrates.
  • Certain watch models will only vibrate for an alarm. If ringtone is enabled but your wearable doesn't ring for alarms, it means ring notifications for alarms are unavailable on your device.
  • Not all device models support Custom. If your device does not have this switch, it means this feature isn't available on your device.
  • Some watch models let you cover the screen to mute and snooze the alarm (10-minute snooze).
You can adjust the alarm volume/vibration mode in any of the following ways (depending on your device):
  • Enter the app list on your wearable device, go to Settings > Sounds & vibration > Alarm volume, and adjust the alarm volume based on your needs.
  • Enter the app list on your wearable device, go to Settings > Sounds & vibration > Ringtone, and adjust the ringtone volume based on your needs.
  • Enter the app list on your wearable device, go to Settings > Vibrations > Vibration, and adjust the vibration mode based on your needs.
  • Enter the app list on your wearable device, go to Settings > Vibration, and adjust the vibration mode based on your needs.

You can adjust the Custom settings for alarms as follows:

  1. Enter the app list on your wearable device and go to Settings > Sounds & vibration > Vibrations > Custom or Settings > Vibrations > Custom.
  2. Select Alarm, and choose between Crescendo, Continuous, or Pulse to match your preferences.
