Can my Blaze vibrate without phone vibrating?

[bairfanx]

A recent "upgrade" to the Android Wear software that killed some functionality caused me to trade in my first gen Moto 360 for the Fitbit Blaze, as the Blaze brings with it much of the features I had on the Moto and then all of the Fitbit tracking.

I'm loving the Blaze so far, but I do have one issue that I was surprised to not find a solution for: both my phone and wrist now vibrate with notifications. I'm not quite sure why there doesn't seem to be a way to receive vibrations from just the Fitbit (or I suppose just the phone, though that would feel counterintuitive), so I'm posting to ask if I'm just missing something?

For reference, I've got an HTC One M9 and have tried silencing the phone, but that kicks it automatically into do-not-disturb mode and keeps notifications from going to my wrist at all.

Thanks

As long as the phone is not set for do not disturb you should be good.
Go to your motifs Atkins srttong, set it for sound only.. If you don't want the phone to make a sound, turn that setting down also.. The Fitbit app will still send notifications to your Blaze.

I'm not sure if I should quote myself here or what, but the last thing I said in my post is that the HTC One M9 doesn't seem to have a way to separate DND from silent, so what you're saying doesn't work.

Doesn't the HTC have individual volume and vibration controls? Leave volume up. 

Slide it to the left the phone will not vibrate.. You might need to set to the lowest without it being off. Maybe knowing which IS would help

[bairfanx]

Yeah, I turned the volume all the way down and it kicks it into do-not-disturb mode, which is what I said in my original post and then said again in my reply. In googling the problem I've come into multiple accounts where people are having the same problem with their HTC phone, I'm asking if anyone knows of a workaround or something I haven't tried, as it feels weird that a device that alerts you to notifications on your wrist would be engineered to have those same notifications go through on your phone.

Then try turning it down to almost off. As suggested. What your asking has to do with settings in the phone, Fitbit only can send to your tracker what it has received. 

[bairfanx]

The point of having it on silent and not vibrating is so that my phone doesn't make noise and I get notifications at my wrist. Just. You didn't even read the OP where I said there were issues with silence and DND on the HTC One and are now suggesting things that run counter to the problem I'm trying to fix. Just. Please stop.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Support request to HTC? A little presumptive on HTC's part, turning volume to 0 should not toggle DND to on.

I do the same, switch iphone to mute and get vibrations on wrist. My apple watch mirrors phone notifications although I can override and have watch notifications be different from phone notifications. Stuff I care about sends notifications to watch, stuff I don't care about has notifications set to off.

Hello @bairfanx! It's great to have you here. I think that @bbarrera's advise to reach out to HTC support about turning on the DND feature when silencing the phone is the way to go. May be they can guide you to a work around! @bbarrera and @Rich_Laue. thanks for your cooperation! 

Let me know how it goes!
