The Garmin experience on iOS is noticeably inferior for me.

On android, you can turn off forwarding notifications to the watch on a per-app basis, so for example I can have youtube put notifications into the android notification center, but not the watch.

On iOS, you can't configure which apps forward notifications to a garmin watch. You only get all or nothing. Apple watch can do this just fine.

Is that not an issue for you? Do you not feel hobbled by that?



I can understand someone would want that level of granularity.

Personally if I don't want it on my watch I also don't want it on my phone, so I simply disable all notifications at the app level.

That said, I seem to remember the trick on iOS is to remove one of the notification alert types (can't recall if it's "lock screen" or "notification centre" or "banner") and then it shows up on the phone but not the watch.
