Tips to set up sleep on a separate Apple Watch.

[Jackbequickly]

I bought a S11 TI weeks ago. I want to set up my year old S10 Ti to track sleep. I have never used the sleep tracking on my watch. I do not want my S10 to send any notifications while sleeping, just track my sleep. This way my S11 can be on the charger while sleeping.

Easiest way to set up my S10 to accomplish this. Thanks

Setup a sleep focus on your phone, doesn’t matter which watch you wear

Yeah, when I'm ready for bye-byes I just press the side button, tap the Focus icon and choose Sleep. When I wake I turn it off and check my Vitals that I have as a big complication on my sleep tracking watch.

You can set up a different default face for each watch for each focus.

My preference when I'm wearing my Apple Watch in bed is to enable the "sleep screen" and "show time" options. That will turn the watch display off completely while sleep focus is on, but will briefly show you the time if you poke the screen with your finger.

Sleep focus, then set it up on a timer to turn on automatically. Set your screens appropriately on what you want to see, and your apps/people to who you want to hear from. For instance, I have my wife and my kids set to alert as well as our security system.

My question is why the two watches? Why not sell the 10 and use the 11 for both daily wear AND sleep tracking? They charge SO fast nowadays, so it can't be because you need it charging all night.

1) You can sleep track with either watch - just turn on sleep focus when you get into bed while the other watch charges

2) What colors are your watches - one of the reasons to run two Apple Watches is to have different styles. Like a Series Watch and an Ultra, or a titanium and an aluminum

That’s what I do too

The OP references that they have two of the same watch, but wants the old one for sleep: "I bought a S11 TI weeks ago. I want to set up my year old S10 Ti to track sleep."

That's why i asked my question, why not sell one and use the 11 for sleep and every day?

Yeah, was wondering if he got a different color or something. I ask because a lot of people don’t seem to realize how easy it is to run multiple Apple Watches. If he got two different styles of watches, he could set both up for wearing and both for sleeping and swap the watches out for different outfits. There is no difference in usability and performance between the two watches, so having two styles provides more variety

My Apple Watches are always black. Thanks for all the information.

You don’t necessarily need to set up or use a sleep focus. The Apple Watch will auto-detect sleep if you just wear the watch to bed. For some reason I think it is easier to just turn on theater mode so the screen is off and I go to bed. The watch records the sleep as it would with sleep focus on. Maybe it’s not easier, but all I’m trying to say is that you do not have to set up sleep focus for certain times, etc..
