Every morning, and sometimes throughout the day, I get this notification telling me how many minutes to work. I haven't set a work location, and I have all settings turned off that I can see in Google, so I'm wondering how I can actually disable this annoying and useless feature.
Anybody know?
You can try and clear the data for Google now and reactivate it. Do you have a home location set?
I'd like to turn off Google now cards showing up on my watch because when I swipe away the weather, I lose card on my phone.

Sounds like there is an update that is coming with Lollipop that will allow you to bring back cards you swiped away. For now, instead of swiping away cards just swipe down to hide them.

Thanks!
View the card in google now on your phone, you can click the 3 dots in the corner of the card to enter the notification option for that particular card and permanently dismiss it.
You can also turn off card preview in android wear settings.
Ok, thanks for the advice. I had already turned the notifications off for that particular card in Google, but for some reason it kept showing. I just clicked it again, so I'll see if it sticks this time.
Android wear 5.o coming soon to solve this issue

Let's face it, navigation notifications on the Moto 360 just eat the battery. I don't need them as I'm getting voice turn-by-turn navigation through my car stereo via bluetooth. So, is it possible to turn them off? I know I could put the phone in airplane mode but I don't want to turn off all notifications, just navigation.

I haven't tried it but you probably could go into the android wear application on your phone and mute google maps.

Thanks for the quick reply. I do see Google Maps under the Navigate option on the phone but I don't see any way to toggle it off.

Tap on the gears icon to the top right. Then go to Mute App Notifications and add google maps to that list.

So I tried the same thing. Though it's not called mute in my version. But I checked off 'maps' under 'block app notifications' but I still get random navigation cards "15 miles to work" and "20 minutes to new location" yet they are random locations at random times while I'm just sitting stationary... I work in line 10 spots in 2 towns with an ever changing schedule, this function isn't useful to me... But even with blocking maps I still get these. Anyone have an idea?

That is Google Now. Go into Google Now on the phone, and customise the settings to remove that function. I had the same issue including the weather updates constantly spamming me.

I don't mind the weather, and I actually did that after my post, in the settings... Then it happened again, opened Google note on my phone, selected the pop up and choose to no longer get notifications on navigation... And it happened again. This is the one issue I've had... :/
Thanks for great advice here. I am also solve this problem easily here.
I updated earlier to 4.4w.2 and it went smoothly but I noticed that my cards don't show up on my watch face when I bring my wrist up to look at them. It pretty much shows just my watch face. I was under the impression that with the new update the cards show up and I can swipe them down for later not not show up at all which isn't good for me cause then Im not sure what I just got at a glance.
Is that how the update makes the watch behave now or did mine get a little screwed?
Try restarting your watch. Worked for me..
I'll give it a go
Mine's been the same way since the update; but I'm not sure either if it's supposed to be that way or if its a bug. I was under the same impression as the OP, that they'd appear by default and you could hide them when needed.
I had issues with no cards and no notifications, and none of the apps would launch. I rebooted my phone and after it came up, then rebooted my watch and now everything is working. The only thing i'm having issues with, it that it keeps putting itself on silent. I'll set it to vibrate and about 2 hours later i'll look down at my watch and see that I had a notification. I go to check the volume and it had put itself on silent. Kind of annoying. Did it both with the 4.4w.1 and the newest update.
Okay I think I figured out a solution to the issue; in my case I just didn't understand what a certain setting in the Android Wear app actually meant. The one that says "Show Cards When Display is Dimmed", has two options: Always Show and Always Hide. Previously, I always chose "Always Hide", and cards would pop up as normal on the home screen clock; but now that's not how it works. Choosing "Always Hide" means cards will never show up on your homescreen clock (and you won't have the option to swipe them up). Choosing "Always Show" on the other hand, gives you the option: a card will pop up on the clock screen as usual, but you can swipe it down to hide it and swipe back up to bring it back. The card will also be reflected when the ambient screen comes on, unless you swipe it down to hide it. Anyway, figuring this out helped my issue so I thought it might be worth mentioning.
I'm using the Airfighter watchface and it permanently displays Google Now notifications at the bottom of the watchface (obscuring the step counter which is also displayed there). I can open each notification and swipe it away, but then it just gets replaced with the next Google Now card. How can I configure this so that Google Now cards are only displayed if I swipe down on the watchface?

In the Wear app on the phone, tap the gear icon to get to Settings, then tap "ASUS ZenWatch" under Device settings. Turn off "Card previews". I think that will do what you're asking.
Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that there was an option to keep the notifications on the watch, but not to have them automatically appear on the watchface - i.e. I only want to see them when I swipe up. I guess this isn't possible.
I just tried it, and turning off card preview does that. They appear full-screen when they arrive, but otherwise not unless you swipe up.
Edit...I just reread what you wrote, and I guess you mean you don't want them to appear at all until you swipe up. You're right, I think there's not a way to do that, at least not built in.
Google Fit seems to always have a notification on my watch of how long I've walked thus far in a day. How do I make that not take over 1/4 the screen but just be available when I swipe up instead?

It's in the android wear app on your phone. Click on the gear/settings icon and then your 360 and turn off card previews. Though that turns off all card previews.
So I can't just have it available when I swipe and not take up 1/3 of my screen? Will taking away card previews make my Google Now cards not appear when I swipe up?

All your notifications will still be there if you swipe up it just won't pop them up on the bottom of your main watch face to tell you they are there.

Oh so turning off card previews just turns off the little 1/3 popup on the bottom of the watch face?

I still get the vibration notifications when I get emails and stuff if I disable that right? I use those.
You get all notifications they just won't pop up when viewing the watch face. If your phone is set to vibrate on a specific notification your watch will vibrate and show it. Turn the setting off and test it by sending yourself an email or something.
Hi guys!
In the past I had an Android watch, a Pebble, several Samsung watches... The best one so far was Android.
Samsung Galaxy watch would be almost perfect if it hadn't this stupid "feature"
In short, the notification dot on the watch is there to notify you when there are unread notifications on the watch, not on your mobile phone. One would say, so what, that's not a problem...
Figure this - if you have the " turn screen on" and "show notification details" options on, then everything you get on your watch gets dismissed immediately! How stupid is that??
Is there a workaround for this, am I the only one bothered by this?
I love how Android wear has this solved. Not only that you have a notification on your watch persistent until you dismissed it on your phone or your watch but also it shows details in a form of cards...
Same settings on my watch. Notifications don't get deleted
Mine do not get deleted too. However, if you clear the notification on your watch it does remove it from your phone too.

They don't get deleted, just the orange dot disappears, leaving me unaware of a new notification...

so easy just go to notification settings in the galaxy watch app and remove the toggle beside the turn on screen option. its useless anyways. if its on, the the orange dot wont appear because it auto dismisses it by design.

I know exactly what you mean. All notifications disappear way too easily! If you accidentally go to far, it's gone. Missed it! FTS! FFS!
I tried for long time to try to find a fix. Samsung has to fix this. NOTHING the user can do!

Yes, it's up to Samsung... but the problem is, nobody talks about it, I tried to Google the problem, haven't found anything...

But I want to see what's up in a glance when I feel the notification vibration on the watch. If I toggle it off, I will have to wake up the watch screen everytime to see what's going on...

I do like those two options, so I can immediately see the notification on my screen without touching it..... but the only interaction at that point is to scroll up or down to read the notification details or touch the three-dots on the right and select "Clear Notifications" If I clear notification, then that's what happens... notification gone (it would be nice if I could just swipe sideways to clear, because for some notifications I have to then scroll to the bottom of a list of options to select clear notifications). If I don't "Clear Notifications" and ignore it, then the notification disappears from the watch screen, The watch goes back to displaying the watch face, there will NOT be an orange dot on the watch face, but the notification will be in my watch's notifications queue for me to look at later, AND the notification will be on my phone.
Seems like that's about exactly how I want it.
I have "Mute connected phone" set in the Wearable app notifications settings, because if I am wearing my watch, I want the watch to be what notifies me; not my phone. Also, I have the new OneUI on the watch.
Same problem here. I'd like to have notifications to be persistent until I explicitly dismiss them. On my Galaxy watch a notification disappears after I saw it. Is there some setting? Thanks!
So I just got the galaxy watch 5 and had this problem. I found that some how my phone got put in do not disturb. Once I turned that off all my notifications came up.
