# How to Disable the Time Announcement on Your LifeGuard SafetyWatch

## LifeGuard SafetyWatch may announce the time every hour on the hour. If you prefer, you can turn this off.

If your LifeGuard SafetyWatch has been announcing the time every hour on the hour, this is a setting that has been enabled on the SafetyWatch itself. It is called **Time Services**.

#### To disable this feature, follow these steps:

1. Swipe the Watch face from right to left until you reach the Settings menu, then tap on it.
2. Tap on Watch Faces to access the related settings.
3. Locate Time Services and toggle the switch to Off.
