How do I switch off the beeping when my apple watch 3 is not near my phone.

I want to run with my watch and disconnect for a while. How do I stop making my phone beep when that angry red slashed phone thing comes on?

Neither Apple Watch nor iPhone beep to indicate when your Apple Watch has become disconnected from your iPhone via Bluetooth.

If you are using a third-party app with that feature, then I suggest that you consult the developer's support resources for information about disabling it.

How other notifications behave depends on the status of your devices, your settings and their connection status. With Wrist Detection enabled, in order to bring notifications to your attention as soon as possible:

If your iPhone is unlocked, then you will receive notification alerts on your iPhone instead of on your Apple Watch.
If your iPhone is locked or asleep and your Apple Watch is unlocked (regardless of whether the watch display is asleep or awake) and on your wrist, you will receive notification alerts on your watch.
If your Apple Watch is locked or has Do Not Disturb enabled, then notifications will go to your iPhone.

Options for silencing alerts on your iPhone and Apple Watch include Silent Mode and Do Not Disturb Mode:
