Hi

I can't seem to work out how to solve this:

I would really like to have my phone automatically disable call sounds/vibration when I put on my watch - just like what happens by default with notifications when wrist detect is enabled.

My main reason for having a watch is to silence my phone completely (when wearing my watch). But it seems that is impossible unless I do it manually every time i put on my watch. I dont want to turn off sound and vibration completely on my phone because then I won't hear it when not wearing my watch.

Is that really not possible?
 
Nothing automatic yet, not that I've seen.

If it matters, I've switched the phone's vibrating alerts off almost all the time since I've gotten the watch, even in silent mode. Now, when I switch the phone to silent, it's dead silent, which is what I want.
 
Yeah, thats my temporary solution as well right now.

Just cant believe this can't be done. Its a MAJOR oversight imho....
 
Meh. I wouldn't call it "MAJOR".

Well obviously we differ on this issue, but I fail to see any reason for not making it possible given the needed features are already there - and being used (for notifications)
