is there somewhere you can disable it? It only asked me for if I want to push through notifications when I first set up the phone, and I didn’t find where to turn it off again. Please advice.
Depends on the watch but with the Venu line its under settings, phone, notifications, you have a choice of “show all”, “calls and texts” and “off” if you don’t want to receive any.
On my epix Gen 2: Menu (long press Up) >> Notifications & Alerts >> Smart Notifications >> change status to "off." That's what I'm doing now, as I'm on vacation and don't want to be bothered by work alerts (email, Teams, texts, phone calls, etc.).
