The Apple Watch can vibrate on the hour to notify you of the time. This feature can be useful if you want a discreet way to keep track of the time without having to constantly check your watch.
To enable this feature, you’ll need to access the Settings app on your Apple Watch. You can do this by tapping on the Digital Crown to access the app grid, and then look for the Settings app, which is represented by a gear icon.
Once you’re in the Settings app, scroll down and tap on the “Clock” option. Here, you’ll find various settings related to the clock and time display on your Apple Watch.
Look for the option labeled “Chimes” and tap on it. You’ll see a toggle switch that you can turn on to enable the hourly chimes feature. When this feature is turned on, your Apple Watch will play a chime sound or vibrate on the hour to indicate the time.
In addition to the chime sound, you can also choose between different sound options. Tap on the “Sounds” option, and you’ll see two choices: “Bells” and “Birds”. Select the sound that you prefer, and your Apple Watch will play that sound on the hour.
It’s worth noting that the hourly chimes feature is separate from the regular notifications and alerts on your Apple Watch. So even if you have your watch set to vibrate for incoming calls or messages, the hourly chimes will not interfere with those settings.
Having the Apple Watch vibrate on the hour can be helpful in various situations. For example, if you’re in a meeting or a quiet environment where audible chimes might be disruptive, the vibration can provide a subtle reminder of the time without causing any disturbance.
Personally, I find this feature particularly useful during busy workdays when I might lose track of time. It helps me stay on schedule and keep track of the hours without needing to constantly check my watch or phone.
Yes, the Apple Watch can vibrate on the hour to notify you of the time. By enabling the chimes feature in the Settings app, you can choose to have your watch play a chime sound or vibrate on the hour, providing a convenient way to keep track of time throughout the day.
