Set a Reminder on your Apple Watch
Since the Apple Watch does not have a native water reminder or an app to log your water intake, you are pretty much reliant on the regular Reminder app for this task. Here’s how you can use it to set up a ‘Drink Water’ reminder.
Step 1: Launch the Reminder app on your Apple Watch.
Step 2: Use the Digital Crown to scroll down to the bottom of the page.
Step 3: Tap on Add Reminder.
Step 4: Enter ‘Drink Water’ as your reminder at the appropriate time.
Use Siri to set a ‘Drink Water’ reminder on your Apple Watch
Instead of manually navigating to the Reminders app on your Apple Watch, you can simply ask Siri to set it up for you. You can trigger Apple’s voice assistant by pressing and holding the Digital Crown or by simply raising your Watch and saying ‘Hey Siri’. Once you see Siri on the watch’s screen, simply say ‘Set a reminder to drink water in 30 (or your preferred time) minutes’. Siri will remind you to drink water at the stipulated time.
Use a third-party app
As you may have realised by now, setting up regular reminders for drinking water can be a tedious process since it needs to be done multiple times a day. This is the reason why a water reminder app is so necessary. Luckily, there are several third-party water reminder apps that you can use on your Apple Watch.
Step 1: Install the Water Reminder – Daily Tracker app on your Apple Watch and iPhone.
Step 2: Launch the app on your iPhone to set up your profile.
Step 3: Once you’ve given the app the necessary permissions, go to Settings and select Remidner.
Step 4: Set the frequency for water reminders.
Apart from setting water reminders, you can also use this app to log your water consumption.
