Would like to have the phone take over control of notifications when not wearing the watch, like the watch isn't connected without turning off bluetooth.
When you are not wearing the watch, all notifications should be on the phone, since the notifications to your watch come from the phone. When you are not wearing the watch, even if connected to the phone, the watch will not receive notifications, but the phone always will, except for those you disabled. You can also go into the Wear app and make sure "mute notifications on phone" is turned off, even though it shouldn't affect getting notifications on the phone if the watch is not tethered to your phone. That setting is only so that you won't get a notification on your phone and watch, and all notifications will come to the watch when connected. Any notification that comes in on your watch gets shown on the phone. Since notifications don't normally come to the watch when the watch is not connected, it shouldn't be an issue. But it's not going to hurt anything to turn it off.
To manage notifications on your Galaxy Watch without disconnecting it, enable "Do Not Disturb" mode, use "Auto Switch" notifications, turn off notification mirroring, set your phone as the default device for notifications when the watch is disconnected, use "Phone Only" mode on the watch, or manually disconnect the watch.
I'll try to describe better. I have my watch set to only vibrate. If I get a notification my phone still sounds. I want the phone to be totally silent with no vibration when wearing the watch without having to go into settings all the time. I created a routine to silence the phone while watch is connected. There isn't a routine that can be created for wearing or not wearing. I have to turn Bluetooth off on watch so the notification sounds etc will turn on on the phone. Here's what I would like. For that last part to happen when I take the watch off while leaving bluetooth on.
