When you complete a goal, your Apple Watch sends you a notification. It gives suggestions on how to achieve your goals and encourages you to close your activity rings. Although these notifications are helpful, sometimes they can get annoying, and you might want to turn them off. You can disable Apple Watch Activity Notifications from the Watch app on your iPhone. Here’s how you do it:

Open the Watch app and tap Notifications From the list of apps, tap Activity. Now, browse through and toggle ON/OFF the options for which you want and don’t want to see notifications. If you want to mute all Activity notifications, choose the Notifications Off option.
