There’s a feature called Taptic Chimes on Apple Watch, which when enabled, will see the smartwatch alert you when a new hour has started.
The feature arrived with watchOS 6 and if your Apple Watch is on loud, you’ll hear a chime when a new hour begins, while when on silent you’ll get a vibration on your wrist to let you know.
Taptic Chimes isn’t on by default though so if you want to be alerted when a new hour has started, here is how you turn Chimes on, and how to customise them.
