How to Set timers on Apple Watch?

Set timers on Apple Watch

The Timers app on Apple Watch can help you keep track of time. With watchOS 8, you can set multiple timers that track time for up to 24 hours.

Ask Siri. Say something like: “Set a timer for 20 minutes.”

Quickly set a timer

1. Open the Timers app on your Apple Watch.
2. To quickly start a timer, tap a duration (like 1, 3, or 5 minutes) or tap a timer you’ve recently used below Recents. To create a custom timer, swipe down, then tap Custom.

When a timer goes off, you can tap to start a timer of the same duration.

Pause or end a timer

1. With a timer running, open the Timers app on your Apple Watch.
2. Tap || to pause, tap ▶ to resume, or tap X to end.

Create a custom timer

1. Open the Timers app on your Apple Watch.
2. Scroll to the top of the screen, then tap Custom.
3. Tap hours, minutes, or seconds; turn the Digital Crown to adjust.
4. Tap Start.

Create multiple timers

1. Open the Timers app on your Apple Watch.
2. Create and start a timer. Tip: To assign a label such as “Pizza” to a timer, use Siri to create the timer. Raise your Apple Watch, then say something like “Set a 12 minute pizza timer.”
3. Tap < to return to the Timers screen, then create and start another timer.

All your running timers appear on the Timers screen. Tap to pause a timer, and tap to resume.

To delete a running or paused timer that appears on the Timers screen, swipe left, then tap X.
