How to use your Apple Watch as a bedside clock

If you thought your Apple Watch was only good for monitoring your heart rate, notifying you of messages on your iPhone, or tracking your GPS route, you're mistaken. The Apple Watch has another feature that few expected: you can use it as a table clock . But how?

If we think of a table clock, it's usually a digital clock that shows the time and date , and you can even set it to work as an alarm clock , right? Now imagine all that on your Apple Watch. There will no longer be a need to tell it what time you need to get up, because the Apple Watch itself has the ability to repeat the alarm daily.

Thanks to this, the new Apple Watch mechanism is being called ' nightstand mode ' . However, this function is already activated by default, although not everyone is aware of it.

Therefore, we will tell you how to activate ' nightstand ' mode on your Apple Watch :

1. Open the Apple Watch settings app and look for the “General” option.
2. Click on it, scroll down until you find the Night mode (“Nightstand”) and you can change the switch from OFF to ON.

And if you still don't know how to position your watch so that it looks like a table clock, follow these steps to transform your watch into a table clock :

1. Connect your Apple Watch to its charger and make sure to keep it connected throughout the Night mode.
2. Turn the watch sideways so the side buttons face upwards. And if you still have doubts about whether the 'Night mode'It's already activated, the first thing you should check is whether a digital clock appeared on the screen.

However, even though the Apple Watch will remain the same, when it enters night mode , all the basic functions will be for the standard operation of a conventional digital watch; that is, the side button will work to stop the alarm and if you touch the screen, the date will appear instead of the icons.
