I use an iPhone 14 and an Apple Watch, and I’m disappointed that the timer experience is not seamless between the two devices.
When I start a timer on my iPhone, the timer does not appear on my Apple Watch. I cannot check its remaining time or pause and resume it directly from my watch.
Interestingly, when a timer ends on my iphone, I can dismiss the alert from the watch itself. This makes me wonder why timers started on my iPhone cannot be accessed and controlled from my Apple Watch.
I thought one of Apple's key strengths was the seamless integration between its devices. Why can't a timer started on my iPhone be synchronised with my Apple Watch, allowing me to check the remaining time and pause or resume it from my wrist?
Is this a technical limitation, an intentional design decision, or a feature Apple could introduce in a future update?
I hope Apple will consider improving this functionality to provide a more seamless user experience.
