When My Galaxy Watch 8 Classic was paired with my Pixel Fold, there was a setting to disable the notifications on the phone whenever the watch was connected.  Now on my Z Fold 7 I only have the options of either "Smart device selection" or "Always show on both".  Is there any way to mimic the previous functionality?  I want all phone notifications disabled when the watch is connected, period, so I can use my phone in meetings without the notifications constantly going off.  This was one of the best features with my old phone.  The "Smart device selection" doesn't allow this.

Create a mode or routine that you can automate.
If' Bluetooth device connected (galaxy watch)
Then: sound mode and volume (mute)
Keep the setting at always show on both. You will get your notifications on your watch and the phone, but the phone will be silent.

I had gone down this path earlier but had issues.  I did it again, and I think it is working but I am traveling International currently, and left my watch charger, so my watch died and I can't test.  It was a bad time to find out that my Z Fold 7 can't charge my watch...
