How to turn off watch buzzing when offline maps are updating?

I have been woken up a couple of times early in the morning by my watch buzzing and flashing indicating progress of offline map updates. Is there any way to turn these notifications off?

I don't know what the offline maps are and have never seen that.

Have you checked that it isn't something on the phone? Google Maps got a notification for offline maps.

Is "Do not disturb" activited when that happens?

You can set DND to be active during sleep and then you input your normal sleeping hours.

Thanks for the quick response. My normal DND goes until 5:00a, which works great on weekdays as I am usually up well before then. The maps seem to like to update at about 5:15a on Sat or Sun which just misses my DND and does a number on my ability to sleep in :)

It would be nice to have a "block app" like option. I do not find it critical to know that my offline maps have been updated.

The Google app on your mobile device has an option to control how offline maps are updated. Mine is set to update my maps (where I live and where I work) when I connect to WiFi. There is an option to toggle off auto-update in addition to the WiFi/Network download preference option. I literally just learned this thanks to e7andy's comment below.
