Why can I not swap my Apple Watch up or down when I have notifications or find how to ping it? When I’m on the face cream on the home screen of my Apple Watch, I’m unable to swipe up or down to see notifications and to find the other section when you usually swipe up, you’re able to see where to ping it or put it on silent

Apple Watch app symbols replace red notification dot Normally when there is a notification on my watch then the red dot appears at the top-middle of the watch face. Extremely useful for me as I often have my phone on silent at work. However, if there is any app symbol active, such as the orange "Timer" symbol, then it replaces / hides the red notification dot. So if I've got a timer set for lets say an hour, any other notifications I won't be able to see during that time because there's no red dot showing. Not only that but at a glance, I can initially mistake the small orange timer symbol for a notification, especially if it's a bright day Hopefully I'm missing the obvious here, but I'd either expect to be able to disable app symbols, or the red dot at least appears alongside them ? I looked through settings but can't find any options which mention the app symbols. Thanks in advance :-) Apple Watch 9 - WatchOS 10.0.1 iOS 17.0.1
