How to Mute Your Apple Watch With Silent Mode?

Exactly what it says on the tin, Silent Mode does. All alerts, alarms, and push notifications are muted when the watch is silent. However, haptic feedback is still in use, so vibrations will still be used to alert you.

1. To display the Apple Watch Control Center on an Apple Watch, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
2. Tap the Silent Mode icon, which looks like a bell. Silent Mode is activated once it turns red. If you don’t put your watch in Silent Mode and an alarm or other notification goes off, you can cup your hand over the display for about three seconds to trigger a haptic buzz. This will turn off the alarm and put the Apple Watch in silent mode until you turn it back on.
3. To turn Silent Mode off (which will allow sound again), swipe up and select the Silent Mode icon so that the icon is no longer red.
