I recently purchased an Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular to replace my aging series 0. While it is an improvement in many ways, I have noticed what is either a bug or intentional change on Apple's part: the watch now rings with sound and haptics for all phone calls even when I am not wearing it. Previously, with the series 0, the watch would not produce sound or haptic alerts for any notifications or calls when locked.
Both the phone and watch are fully updated (not running betas), and I have not activated cellular service on the watch yet. Wrist detection is enabled and the watch is appropriately detecting when it is removed from my wrist and locking. I would prefer not to disable call ringing altogether, as I want the watch to ring when I am wearing it. I would like to find some way to prevent the ringing when locked.
Has anyone experienced this or have any ideas how to possibly fix it?
