How to change notifications to be haptic only (no sound)?

A couple of months later, after trying to leave as much settings "as intended" as possible, I have a couple of annoyances with the smartwatch. I've had smartwatch before and might have a perception from the start on how I want things, but I've tried hard to adapt to new routines.


How to make the notifications to be haptic only? I do want notification of the house alarm, Facebook, Slack, SMS, but haptic only. The sound is annoying and irritating.


Actually the same goes with just about every notification. But I do really want the alarm to sound as I rely on that and preferable the calls would be neat to have a ringtone for, even if sounds for calls are in my view optional. I just cant find the settings for that behaviour. I saw the setting "Deliver Quietly" and that is not what I want, I just don't want the annoying (and unnecessary) sound alert as I do feel the haptics very well.


I feel stupid to not even find such a simple setting of "vibration only (except alarms)" or individually toggle alarm/vibration for each notification/alert, so I would be happy if someone could enlighten me on the appropriate settings.

Did you even bother to read my question and was there anything in that page that responded my question or did you just put up with something off-topic as you just posted a link and not even one word or hint to suggest a solution? I have already looked at that page (which was why I came to here "Start a discussion in Apple Support Communities") and was hoping for a response that would be helpful in atleast any direction.
