Don't push notifications to watch when phone's screen is on

I second this, will be a very welcome feature.

I'd tell it is more a problem of the concerned app - for example when Whatsapp is in use, it should not send the system notifications for the messages already viewed on the phone. And in my case it indeed does not - I do not get any on my watch either when chatting. You may check whether you use an up-to-date version of Whatsapp. There are also some settings in Whatsapp that may perhaps help - for example you could try turning off the "Reaction Notifications". Although, I have them on, and still do not get notifications for the ongoing chat, anyway.

I think you missed the core of the problem.

The problem described is not with the notifications from the app which "is in use", but with the notifications from the app running on the background.

As you correctly wrote - an app running on the foreground (opened and in use) should not generate system notifications - as example you are chatting in the Whatsapp. But in the same time, once you get message from the other app (Viber as example), which is running, but on the background - this application generates a notification - and this notification is send to the watch.

So there's definitely missing option in the Garmin Connect application - sometning like "Do not send any notifications to the watch when phone screen is unlocked". And yes, competitors got it covered.

Its a good feature and should be implemented!

For example: I'm surfing through website. In the same time I receive message from Messanger or Gmail or some notification. I dont need to be notified by watch I already see notification on my screen. Thats anoing!!! when it vibrates on my wirst, but I already know about notification as I'm using my phone!

And yes, this feature is alredy implemented for years by competitors for example Xiaomi Mi band -  ZeppLife (ex MiFit application)

Do suggestion on these forums get implemented at all? I am coming from Mi Band and I thought that feature is so basic as even they support it, even as default. I was very surprised when I started getting notifications with screen on.

This is primarily a peer-to-peer user forum, so the chances are very slim. As @#Matthias suggested, use rather the form at Share Ideas | Garmin

I totally agree. I want to DISABLE NOTIFICATIONS when my screen is on. I hate to have my watch vibrate a few seconds right after I see the actual notification on my device. It's the most annoying thing that I might as well turn off notifications if it'll vibrate reminding me of a notification I just pressed.
