APPLE WATCH METRONOME
Apple Watch Metronome for Practice Away from Your Phone
Start a pulse from your wrist, then keep playing. Once playback starts successfully with an activated background audio route, the beat can continue as your wrist lowers. A foreground-only speaker fallback stops when the watch interface becomes inactive.

Keep the pulse while your hands return to the instrument
Set the BPM, choose a common time signature and start or pause from Apple Watch. After playback starts successfully on an activated background audio route, sound can continue when the display dims or the wrist lowers, while visual and haptic updates pause. If only the foreground speaker fallback is available, an inactive interface stops playback. Return to the watch app and start again, or connect a supported background audio route.

Common questions
01Does the beat stop when I lower my wrist?＋
It depends on the active route. Successfully started playback on an activated background audio route can continue while visual and haptic refresh pauses. The foreground-only speaker fallback stops when the interface becomes inactive; return to the app and start again.
02Can I change the tempo on Apple Watch?＋
Yes. You can adjust BPM, start or pause playback and switch among common time signatures from the watch.
03Do all Apple Watch models play through the built-in speaker?＋
Audio routing depends on the watch model and connected devices. Supported watches can use the built-in speaker; older models may require Bluetooth audio.
