Notification vibrations while watch is charging

When my Forerunner 265s is connected to the charging cable, it still vibrates for each notification. This causes a rather loud noise as it knocks against the table it’s on. Is there any way to prevent this, short of turning notifications and/or vibrations off completely?

Depending on my plans for the day, I might wear either my Garmin or Apple watch. So I still want to receive notifications on days when I’m wearing the Garmin watch — just changing the sleep schedule won’t solve this for me. Thanks!

No thanks. I like my current phone just fine, and there’s no reason the Garmin OS can’t do a quick “if charger connected, don’t vibrate for the notification” check.

Easy day! Keep charging your 265s, get fit, get healthy, and get an Android phone. IPhone locks Garmin out of message setting controls.

No, that doesn't solve the problem that Technicalleigh has. I have an Android phone and yet this behavior also annoys me with my FR255. Automatic mute when not worn does not exist. There are 7 year old feature requests in this forum from users who wanted exactly this function on other watches. Garmin simply doesn't care.
