Can you set the 245 to NOT do notifications from an iPhone?

Greetings,

I am seriously thinking the 245 is the tracker I'm going to migrate to. I have one question I've not found a direct answer for.

I want to know if ALL notifications on my iPhone cn be turned off on the 245? I have absolutely zero interest in my tracker telling me what my phone is telling me.

Thanks in advance, Joe.

3. Select During Activity.
4. Select a notification preference.
5. Select a sound preference…

I think you can just turn of bluetooth after sync and you can do that from the phone or the watch itself. I've been getting a better battery life by turning off bluetooth connection from the watch though.

Or just turn off the notifications in watch settings

I'll second the battery savings by only turning on bluetooth when syncing.

Just one setting of Airplane mode ON/OFF would control bluetooth, notifcations etc, if you want to turn all these on/off anyway.
