Most alarms go off at an arbitrary minute, often right in the middle of deep sleep. Nudge works differently. You choose a wake-up window, and Nudge looks for a favorable moment inside it to wake you, gently, right on your wrist.
Pick a window, not a minute
Set the time you need to be up and a smart window of up to 30 minutes before it. Scroll the timeline or turn the Digital Crown, tap Enable, and you're set. Nudge always wakes you by your deadline.
It reads your signals
During the window, Nudge looks at your wrist movement and recent heart rate on Apple Watch and waits for a favorable moment to wake you. The closer you get to your deadline, the more readily it lets you wake.
A gentle wake-up
Nudge wakes you with haptics on your wrist that start softly and build up progressively, until you tap "I'm Awake".
Power naps, too
Tap the moon to start a nap. Nudge starts the timer once it senses you've fallen asleep, then wakes you at a favorable moment around your target of about 20 minutes.
Plan it on iPhone
Create repeating alarms on your iPhone (weekdays, weekends or specific days), each with its own smart window and label. They sync to your Apple Watch automatically.

Nudge is not a medical device. It does not diagnose sleep disorders or detect sleep stages with certainty; it estimates a favorable moment to wake you from the signals your Apple Watch makes available.
