Disable persistent Apple Watch low battery notification When my Apple Watch displays a low battery alert, it stays on the screen until I dismiss it. Is there a way to make the alert dismiss itself? All of my other notifications eventually go away and the watch returns to the watch face

Apple Watch app symbols replace red notification dot Normally when there is a notification on my watch then the red dot appears at the top-middle of the watch face. Extremely useful for me as I often have my phone on silent at work. However, if there is any app symbol active, such as the orange "Timer" symbol, then it replaces / hides the red notification dot. So if I've got a timer set for lets say an hour, any other notifications I won't be able to see during that time because there's no red dot showing. Not only that but at a glance, I can initially mistake the small orange timer symbol for a notification, especially if it's a bright day Hopefully I'm missing the obvious here, but I'd either expect to be able to disable app symbols, or the red dot at least appears alongside them ? I looked through settings but can't find any options which mention the app symbols. Thanks in advance :-) Apple Watch 9 - WatchOS 10.0.1 iOS 17.0.1
