Turn on smart notifications only if I wear the watch?

Is there an option to switch on vibration/notification only if I wear the watch?

I am not wearing the watch the whole time, usually only if I do trainings. So it happens that the watch just lies on my desk. As I have switched on notifications and vibrations - which is useful during the time I wear the watch, it bothers me that it vibrates all the the also when I am not wearing it.

RIght now I switch of bluetooth on my phone that the connection is interrupted, but it would be nice to have an option "vibration/notification only if you wear the watch". Should not be that complicated, as this can be achieved by switching notifications only on as long as the build-in HR-sensor produces reasonable data.

Or is there already a solution for that, that I have not found yet?

  • If you only wear it during training, Settings> Phone> Smart Notifications> Not During Activity = Off.

    Alternatively, you could enable the battery saver mode when you take the watch off, which will kill the BT on the watch. Or just turn BT off directly. Either of these can be accessed from the Controls menu (hold the Light button).

  • Good idea with the battery saver mode, I will try that.

    I Was a bit unprecise, sometimes I wear the watch during the Day, and like the notifications. So what I want is this: Wear the watch (activity+non activity) = notification, if i Do not wear the watch = no notification.

  • You forgot the most important option (IMHO): "do not disturb" (also accessible from light button) instead of "turn of BT" or "enable battery saver mode".
