Do Not Disturb Schedule (to match phone) settings non-existent

[jmeg79]

I have tried to figure out for for at least 2 years how to sync phone Do Not Disturb settings to the Watch5. I've searched online EVERYWHERE and all I can find is people repeatedly saying "just go into the Wear app and find the sync settings" but there are not sync settings on my app anywhere! I'm going crazy because every "solution" states so simply what to do and my app does not have these options! HELP!!!

You can accomplish this by creating Mode or Routine that enables DND.

In the Wear app

Watch Settings
Modes
Turn on Sync watch with phone

Then, when you select the Mode on your phone, it will be mirrored on the watch.

 There is no "modes"

I have the Watch6. Perhaps they didn't add the feature until that model.

I never had issues with the DND not working on my Watch3, but once I got the 5 the option went away and it's been driving me bonkers ever since. 

For what it's worth, I've never owned a Samsung phone, only the watches, but I never had this problem until I got the 5.

Do you have a Samsung phone now?

Is the Wear app up to date?

@jmeg79 What phone are you using? 

[jmeg79]

It's a Motorola but I've had 3 different phones since I got this watch and it has never worked on any of them. My Watch3 DND worked perfectly fine with any phone I had it connected to.

Watch 3 used the Tizen OS so had a completely different API for notifications and modes. The Watch 4 and later use Google's Wear OS. So it seems that there is an incompatibility issue with non-Samsung phones.

Well that is extremely disappointing because I love the watches but I not the phones.
