Why does the sleep time have to be set on both the app and watch?

Watch can be set using the watch or the app. If you change something on the watch and then sync the app it should be reflected in the app. If you change something on the app, it should auto change on the watch.

You should only need to change it in the one place i.e. either the watch or the phone.

Make sure that your watch and app are both running the latest versions, as there have been a lot of updates improving the watch and app software, and the functionality around changing setitngs.

I have the latest updates (8.21) and synced the app and watch after making the change on my phone. In fact, I even waited one day to see if it would matter.

I also don't think the two settings are designed to work together. On the app, there is just one setting - general sleep time and general wake time. On the watch, you can set sleep and wake times for each day. I think customizing the time for each day of the week is useful, but this whole idea that settings must be made on the watch is so user-unfriendly.

It is the same with watch faces - you can't set them on the app.

as stated already by jaamgans yes you can use the app to set the specific time for each individual day. And I like how it's very clear for setting sleep times in an 'overnight' type mode - avoids the typical confusion with those things. For example, the app setting for Sat-Sun sleep indicates your settiung will apply to going to sleep Saturday night and waking up Sunday morning. The app setup is very nice in that regard.

Thanks, this is very useful. I was not aware of the 'press watch' action. And indeed, the sleep settings there match what's on the watch. I'll explore the 'press watch' action more.

I was looking at the app settings and normal sleep time: https://usf.box.com/s/gm90sbwp4tcqqci0zkec91fb4mlblgx7. I have no idea what this setting does.
