Your Moto 360 puts you in full control of notifications, allowing you to receive, mute, or customize alerts based on your preferences. Whether you want selective phone notifications, complete silence, or discreet vibration alerts, this guide helps you manage your notifications efficiently.

Turn On Phone Notifications on Your Watch:

  1. Open the Wear OS app on your paired smartphone.

  2. Tap Enable next to the desired notification type.

This lets you choose which notifications appear on your Moto 360, giving you control over what reaches your wrist.

Theater Mode – Dim Display and Limit Interruptions:
For moments when you want your watch screen to stay dark while still receiving subtle vibrations:

  1. Swipe down from the top of your watch face.

  2. Swipe left to enable Theater Mode.

While notifications still trigger vibrations, the screen stays discreetly dimmed, helping you maintain focus without interruptions.

Do-Not-Disturb (DND) Mode – Silence Everything:
For complete silence and no visual disturbances:

  1. Swipe down from the top of the screen.

  2. Tap the Do-Not-Disturb icon (a minus sign).

DND mode disables sounds, vibrations, and screen lighting for all incoming notifications. The icon confirms that your watch is in a muted state.

Disable Specific Notifications:

  1. Access Notifications: Long-press the notification you want to manage.

  2. Open Notification Settings: Explore the options available for that specific app.

  3. Toggle Off: Turn off the notification toggle to stop receiving alerts from that app.

With these settings, your Moto 360 Gen 3 becomes fully customizable, ensuring a distraction-free experience while keeping important alerts at your fingertips.
