I updated my Moto 360 to AW2.0 yesterday and just like everyone else I realized that Google has changed how DND work and that the watch can have it's own setting separate from the phone.
I'm not here to judge if it's good or bad, that probably depends on how you use your phone and watch.
But... is this really how it's supposed to work?
1. Phone is normal, watch is normal: notifications sounds and vibrates on phone, watch vibrates.
2. Phone is normal, watch is in DND: notifications sounds and vibrates on phone, watch is silent.
3. Phone is in DND, watch is normal: both are silent.
4. Phone is in DND, watch is in DND: both are silent.
I can think of many scenarios where I want the phone to be silent, but the watch to vibrate. I can't really think of any scenarios where I only want my watch to be silent.
I know that I can get the same by making the phone silent through the Android wear app, but that is not an easy way to do it.

That was not what I was asking about.
Anyone have any ideas? I still have this problem...

I purchased the Note 8.0 last week and like everything about it. However, there is one annoying issue that I have yet to resolve. I get allot of notification alerts and when watching a video or listening to music, the incoming notification temporarily pauses the video and interrupts the audio. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how did you resolve?

This happens with my Samsung Galaxy phone too. My workaround was to turn off most notifications. Also, I use a sound profile app to turn off the notification sounds during the work day, and I don't notice that the muted notifications affect anything I am listening to. I don't know how else to "fix" it, but perhaps someone else will have a good idea.

Have you given the blocking mode a try, it has an option to supress notifications as well as calls and stuff.

I did try the blocking mode, but it bugs me that there's an icon showing that the blocking mode is on. I haven't found a way to turn that off. (Dang, I'm picky.)

Well as Lemmy once said/sang : You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me
I'm thinking of switching from Pebble to Android Wear. I'm curious, do notifications from your phone come through consistently and quickly? On Pebble (at least with Android) about 25% of the time a notification takes 2-5 seconds to show up on the watch, or never shows up at all. I'll feel my phone buzz and sit there staring at my watch, waiting. It gets really annoying! Happened with both my S3 and Nexus 5.
Has anyone experienced similar with Android Wear watches? Or particular models? Thanks!

no missed notifications at all .
Awesome. I think I'll be ordering Black Friday or cyber Monday. Now, to decide which one.
No missed notifications at all. Working great!
After 2 weeks with my LG G Watch R, I'm afraid that after 18 months with my Pebble I've grown accustomed to doing things in a certain way and that's not the right way for Android Wear.
Could anybody enlighten me?
My watch almost never vibrates. Mails, Whatsapp messages... it doesn't matter, most notifications show as cards (which I notice after a too long time) but I don't get vibrations.
My phone is a Sony Xperia Z3 with 4.4.4 (5.0.1 on the watch). When I used my Pebble it was always muted and most apps had notifications off. Now Whatsapp and Gmail have notifications on, since I read somewhere that Android Wear devices would only vibrate if the app was supposed to make some noise. However, I still don't get vibrations.
Thanks in advance

As far as i got with this (still no Facebook notifications here) this has to do with the sound options, very logical (not) on your phone..
If you have notifications set to just vibrate with no sound on your phone there will be no vibration on your wrist, someone needs to visit that google programmer with a clue bat i think :-/
If you want your watch to be the one to get the notifications and no sound on your phone, set up all apps on your phone to use sounds, and set in Android wear app, silence the phone. This will quit your phone from responding with sounds (an i think also vibrations) while your watch should do the heavy lifting.
Why they did it this way, Google only knows, we desperately need a alternative Android wear build with a much better control of vibrations and how each type of notifications should act!

That's not true. I have set my Google+ notifications to no sound but enabled vibrations. The system wide notification strength on my note 3 is set to 0. In this way only my lg g watch r is vibrating on incoming notifications....

Well. No notifications at all after updating my phone to lollipop 5.1. In Android Wear, the option to turn on notification is greyed out. Upon application startup, I get a message saying: "Android Wear needs you to turn on notifications" but I cannot turn them on. A full hard reset of both, watch and phone, did not help. Downgrade of Android Wear APP to different old versions did not help. My watch is useless now and my Ascend Mate 7 MT10 with Lollipop 5.1 is not downgradable to kitkat any more without unlocking the boot loader which I do not want to do. So, If I would have a Pebble, I think I would stick to it until Lollipop issues are resolved at least you want to keep you devices on KitKat and renounce to update to lollipop.
These are my two cents from a frustrating experience.
just install informer
All problem SoLved
just install "informer for android wear - notification"
Hey guys,
As you may know, on android wear 5.0.1 (the last update), silent/viber mode are synced with the phone : If you put your phone in silent mode, your watch will be in silent mode too.. and if you try to un-mute the watch, the phone will be unmuted too...
That's pretty annoying (I suppose that I'm not the only one to keep watch notifications enabled, with phone set in silent mode ?)
Does anybody has a way to disable this "sync" ?
Thanks
Android wear app has the option
Mute interruptions on phone

Well, that's not what I am speaking about :/
This option is disabled in my case but, when I mute the phone, the Watch is also muted, and vice versa..
Here's an example of what I'm speaking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BftNG1VRAQ
That's really annoying. I don't have the update yet, but what happens if you put the phone volume all the way down in vibrate mode?

Well, that does nothing on the watch. But that means you can't have a full silent mode on your phone without muting the watch too..
Apparently, this syncing between phone and watch volumes was intended but I don't see the value of it. I think the whole idea of a smartwatch is so that you can mute your phone entirely (no vibration) and still get notifications on your watch. That's how I used my Moto 360 before the Lollipop updates. It's a bug that needs to be addressed.

Yep, that's exactly my point of view. is there any official bug report/feature request for Android Wear ?
Nevermind, I've posted a request on the bug tracker : https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82730&thanks=82730&ts=1418672612
This is so frustrating! The entire reason why I found my g watch useful was because I could keep my phone on silent while in class and still be notified from my watch with incoming notifications! I hope Google fixes this! I doubt this is a bug. I think they synchronized the watch and phone for "simplicity."
All,
I am getting settled with a Moto360, I keep my phone on vibrate all day. I believe this causes the notifications to the watch to be "silent', meaning I don't get any notice when they arrive. If I don't look at the watch, I would never know anything happened. I also have a Gear Fit, and when it gets a notification, it vibrates. Is there a setting for this on Wear? Regardless of my phone sound profile, I'd like the watch to buzz so I know something landed.
Is possible??
Thanks
No, then?
Have Wear notifications changed recently, maybe with the Marshmallow update?
I always have my phone on silent and rely on my Watch to alert me to notifications (particular if my phone is plugged in charging on a flat surface).
Now when my phone is on mute, I don't get notifications at all on my watch (Zenwatch), when I check the watch, notifications are set to 'None'. If I change this to 'All', I get notifications again, but this switches my phone (HTC M8) to full sound notifications, not what I want!
Am I just behind the curve here with how this works now, or does it sound like there's an issue with my paired phone & watch? I use Zenwatch Manager too if that causes any issues.
Thx
I'm having the same issue... The mute alerts and calls function in Android Wear setting doesn't do anything. The phone still rings/vibrates along with my watch, which is annoying. Did this feature break with the MM update?
Sent from my ONE A2005 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Well the good news is that I fixed this. Bad news: it fixed itself when I got a new phone (Galaxy S7 Edge, already on MM). So my guess is that it was some weirdness with phones upgraded to MM because the watch etc is the same, just different device it's connecting to now. I had previously tried everything on the old phone (re-installing Zenwatch Manager, factory settings on Watch etc).
I have a htc m8, had similar issue. If I set phone to vibrate then set the switch in android wear app to mute phone notifications when connected to watch it works. It just doesn't stick on a phone reboot so I have to go back into wear app each time and turn that setting off then back on again in the wear app on the phone then it works.
What I do is setting the notification sound to none via tasker when my watch is connected to the phone.
This way my phone is totally silent. When setting notification volume to 0, it starts vibrating. My phone vibrates nearly as loud as the notification sound when placed on a table...
