Hey Suz760-prt,


We'd suggest the steps here:


Change the audio and notification settings on your Apple Watch


"How to mute your Apple Watch

  1. Touch and hold the bottom of the watch face. Wait for Control Center to show, then swipe up.
  2. Tap the Silent Mode button Silent Mode icon. This turns on Silent Mode. You can still receive haptic notifications. 
  3. Apple Watch showing the Mute button in Control Center

To silence an alert or notification as it sounds, rest your palm on the display for at least three seconds or until you feel a tap. If it doesn't work, see if the Cover to Mute setting is on: On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app, go to the My Watch tab, then tap Sounds & Haptics.

Thanks!
