I really enjoy my Apple Watch, but this setting, together with the fact that I prefer my devices to be in “silent mode” 24/7, is just driving me nuts.

I’m currently using a 2nd non-sleep alarm as a workaround / fail-safe, but having to switch off two alarms every morning is just a bit annoying. I don’t want to disable alarm syncing, because it’s convenient and I don’t want to rely on automations, because I want my “mission-critical” functions to include as little moving parts as possible. I don’t think there are any other, reasonable workarounds?

Are there any informations / rumours on Apple adding an option to customise this behaviour in the future WatchOS releases? It feels like such a no-brainer and given the number of people complaining at it I’m baffled it’s still not there.
