Turn it off for your phones lock screen and the tracker will follow. It displays what your phone displays.

It doesn’t. Even when the phone is locked and doesn’t have message preview, the whole message pops up on the ionic screen.

I'm trying to turn off message preview also! After the recent update it's waking my watch to display the preview. Any update on this that you know of?

I have noticed my Iconic is previewing the message without me waking the watch. This started after the most recent update. Is there a way to turn the message preview off? So I don’t see the message until I wake my watch? I don’t like people being able to read my messages without me waking the watch.
