I have set Activity notifications off on my Apple Watch 7, but they continue to announce when I close a ring. How do I disable this verbal notification?

Even though I have watch notifications set to off, I continue to receive verbal notifications when I close a ring. How do I turn off the verbal notifications? I am using an Apple Watch 7.

How to stop call notifications on Apple Watch? I've been trying to turn off my Apple Watch's call notifications, but no matter what I do, the watch face still shows that I have an incoming call and the name of the caller. I need to disable this while I'm working, but all I've been able to do is turn off the sounds and haptics, the notification still pops up. I've gone into the Watch app on my iPhone and turned off notifications for the Phone, I've also turned off "Show Summary When Locked" in the general Watch notifications settings. Is there another setting that gets around this somehow? I've been testing this by having my wife call me, but even if I remove her from my favourites the calls still come through.

Why are my text notifications only going to my Apple Watch? I have today got my first Iwatch a series 10 and have been setting it up but when the phone (a 15) is locked text/whats app notifications are only coming through to my watch and not the phone, how can I change this? I can’t find it in the user manual. Can I have the phone on sound and the watch vibrate? The watch isn’t giving the different tones/sounds allocated as on my phone to indicate where the notification is from. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How do I disable Game Center notifications on my apple watch? I play one game on my iPhone that uses Game Center called Five-0 and it has no option in notifications on my Apple Watch Ultra to disable the notifications for it. It's super annoying. Anyone have any ideas as to how to turn off Game Center on the Watch?
