Hi,
So I recently got a sony SW2 at a firesale price, I've been trying a couple of notification apps - I was basically happy with Informer for my sms, whatsapp & email notifications but it was annoying that if I didn't notice my watch buzz at the time (eg I was riding along on my bike...) there was no visual indication that anything had happened as it dropped back to the clock face with no indication that notifications were waiting.
I've since been using the Augmented Smartwatch Pro trial, and it seems to do what I want - if I get a notification through it, instead of dropping the SW2 all the way back into it's official watchface, it runs in a low power mode showing it's custom watchface, and at the top I get a line with the latest notification (eg SMS from whoever). Once i've seen that I can then put the watch back fully to sleep with the power button (otherwise it seems like it might hammer the battery a bit more).
Unfortunately I'm not exactly wild about the Augmented Smartwatch Interface - it seems to want to do it's own thing which isn't very consistent with the smartwatch the rest of the time, and pretty ugly.
I'm just wondering if anyone is aware of/using any other apps that have similar features? All the ones I've seen seem to pop up notifications but then drop back to the sony watchface within a minute, which is less than ideal (I do a lot of bike riding and don't necessarily notice the watch vibrating when I'm riding, but will occasionally get the chance to glance at it!)
Cheers
There are a Sony widget with a counter for reiceived (not read) notification. So if you put the widget on your face you can see if you have unread notification.

Also with widget with 1 line for last notification and for the next event.

I have a Huawei Watch connected to a LG G4 and one annoying thing about it is that for some reason the missed call notification is not syncronized with the phone. If I miss a call I get the notification on the watch and on the phone, but if I dismiss the notification from the watch it won't dismiss the one on the phone and the other way around. I think this is because they use different apps... I think the phone uses LG's dialer and the Huawei one so they probably would synchronize if they weren't different. Some times, after boot I notice the missed call notification being different (and in my own language), which mean the watch shows the phones notification. Is there any way to properly synchronize the two or disable the Android Wear standard one?
I currently own the Samsung Gear S2 Classic smartwatch and was using it successfully with my Pixel 2. Now that I have the Pixel 3, there is one feature I can't seem to get working:
When the Pixel 2 was set to silent (or do not disturb), my watch would still vibrate to let me know when notifications come in. This was great in my work environment as even phone vibrations can be loud in a quiet room.
But now, the Pixel 3 doesn't trigger any vibration on my watch in silent mode. Does anyone know how to get around that?
EDIT:
I now realize that my watch only vibrates when a call comes in, regardless of the phone being in silent mode or not. It won't notify me of any texts, emails, or anything else besides phone calls. Something must be incompatible between the Pixel 3 and Gear S2. I even had to side load an old version of the app because the current one does not show up on the play store when searching from the Pixel 3 (due to incompatibility?)
Did you try to change the setting in the watch itself? Watch usually it's a stand-alone feature. Mine is working just fine so I would say check your watch itself..
There aren't any settings on the watch that would control the watch vibration to stop when the phone is set to silent or DND.
There might be something in the settings for the Pixel 3, but I can't seem to find it. DND and silent mode both trigger vibrations on my watch for the Pixel 2.
Solved! (sort of)
It turns out that my "Reply" app that I use for quick replies to text messages was blocking the notifications from reaching the watch. By disabling it, I am able to get my watch to vibrate when texts come in. However, now I can't send curated replies right from the message pop-up anymore. So I need to figure out which feature I care about more
How can I disable notifications coming from s health and weather notifications on my Samsung galaxy watch. I like the apps and their info but I really don't need my watch to bother me during the day to tell me good job you have put one foot in front of the other keep it up or it is presently 5c out side. I need to see this information only when I decide.
Thanks

did you manage to get this sorted and if so how ...
Thanks
Go to the Wear App on your phone then to notifications and turn the ones you don't want off
Enven with Samsung health notifications off on the Samsung wear app. I still get stupid remoders. GOOD JOB YOU HAVE STARTED WALKING.

Go into Samsung Health, touch the 3 bars, then settings gear, turn off detect workouts if it's on, under notifications make dure its turned off. Also touch the walking icon on the watch, swipe up to settings and make sure notifications are off there also..
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...
It's like people don't see it or don't care about it...

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.
