Is there an easy way to make Apple Watch chime or tap hourly or more? One of my planned uses of the Apple Watch was to use the Haptic technology to make a discreet tap on the hour and 20 minute marks, to gauge appointment times. But I was dumbfounded to see that Apple has not built any kind of a chime into the Apple Watch!

Does anyone know of an App or strategy that can do that without setting up hundreds of reminder or calendar notifications?
By using the recurring event feature, you can manage them as less than 24 events. iCloud manages this efficiently. If you wish to delete one, you can delete all future events at one time.

Creating a recurring calendar event

Create a calendar event for your first Chime with these settings:


name: Chime
starts: 4:00
ends: 4:01
repeat: Every Day
alert: At time of event




Since there are 24 hours in the day, you will need to create 24 of them for each hour in a single day.

Uncheck that calendar in your Calendar app to hide it so you don't have to see it:



Perfect! Now your calendar still looks nice and clean.

Deleting a Chime

If you want to delete a chime, check the Chime calendar to make it visible again. Select an event and press the Delete key:



Click Delete All in the prompt:



Now your Chime is removed from all future days:
