How do I set an alarm on my Mi Watch?

Published in Smartwatch Alarm Setup 3 mins read

Setting an alarm on your Mi Watch is a straightforward process, ensuring you wake up precisely when needed. These instructions are generally applicable to many Xiaomi smartwatches, including models like the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 4.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting an Alarm

Follow these simple steps directly on your Mi Watch to set a new alarm:

  1. Access the Alarm Function:

    • Navigate through your watch's app menu until you find an icon that looks like a small clock or an "Alarm" label. This is usually located alongside other utility apps such as Timer, Stopwatch, or Weather.
    • Tap on this clock icon to open the alarm settings.
  2. Add a New Alarm:

    • Once in the alarm section, look for a "+" (plus) icon or an option to "Add New Alarm."
    • Tap this icon to begin configuring your new alarm.
  3. Set the Desired Time:

    • You will be prompted to set the time. Use the on-screen controls (often a rotating dial or up/down arrows) to select the hour and minute for your alarm.
    • Confirm the time once it's correctly set.

Enhancing Your Alarm Experience

Modern smartwatches offer more than just a basic wake-up call. Consider these additional features to customize your alarm:

  • Repeat Settings: Most Mi Watches allow you to set alarms for specific days of the week. You can choose for the alarm to repeat daily, on weekdays, weekends, or custom selections (e.g., Mon, Wed, Fri).
  • Vibration and Sound: Configure whether the alarm should vibrate, play a sound, or both. For a discreet wake-up, vibration-only alarms are ideal.
  • Labels: Add a custom label to your alarm (e.g., "Morning Workout," "Meeting Reminder") to easily identify its purpose.
  • Smart Wake-Up: Some advanced Mi Watch models might offer a "smart wake-up" feature, which aims to gently wake you during a light sleep stage within a set time window for a more refreshed feeling.

Why Use Your Mi Watch for Alarms?

Using your smartwatch for alarms offers several advantages over a traditional phone alarm:

  • Discreet Vibration: Wake up without disturbing a partner, thanks to on-wrist vibrations.
  • Convenience: Your watch is likely already on your wrist, making it a handy and immediate alarm device.
  • Reliability: Even if your phone battery dies overnight, your watch, if charged, will still trigger the alarm.
